I received two notifications in my inbox about the same answer being posted.

Double notification for answer

As you can see, one is due to the fact I followed the question a couple of days ago. The other I recognize as being due to the bounty I placed on the question recently. This appears to be a bug.

To contrast, comments left on the post since the bounty (also pictured) are not getting duplicated.

  • Comments are not duplicated because we don't get notifications for comments on questions where we started a bounty, just for answers. :) – Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask Jul 15 at 8:09
  • @ShadowWizardWearingMask - I vaguely recall getting notified on comments to bountied question previously. Though admittedly, the previous bounty I posted was quite a long time go, so have to account for faulty memory and all that. – StoryTeller - Unslander Monica Jul 15 at 8:12
  • Most likely you had the bounty on your own question, so you get comment notifications for that anyway. – Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask Jul 15 at 8:55
  • @ShadowWizardWearingMask - Nope. I have yet to post a bounty on one of my own. – StoryTeller - Unslander Monica Jul 15 at 8:57
  • If you mean notification for this comment (which doesn't have direct ping) it's because you're the only user commenting, except the OP - it's by design and not related to bounty. If you remember what comment you got notified about which you shouldn't have, link to it and I'll take a look. – Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask Jul 15 at 10:01
