I am receiving duplicate emails of some of the posting of the Discussion.

Is this happening to others?

re: Duplicate emails

No, I'm not receiving any duplicate emails and you are able to "unsubscribe emails" at almost the very bottom of this page.

re: Duplicate emails

Hi d1 stamper,

I know I've been away but I have been receiving emails to help moderate if/when I can. Several people on SOR will submit a post, read it, decide it needs a change or has a spelling error, and edit and resubmit. This causes the email to be sent twice; once for the original post and once for the edited version (sometimes more). If you look carefully, you'll likely find small punctuation or spelling changes between the emails. If they are 100% the same, then this would be a question for Tim.

re: Duplicate emails

I am still receiving duplicate emails of some posts made to the discussion board.

Today I received :-
Email Notification

Stamporama Discussion Board: General Philatelic/General Philatelic Discussion: Member birthdays on cancels/covers

By cocollectibles on 02/21/2014 07:12:55

and this one

Email Notification

Stamporama Discussion Board: General Philatelic/General Philatelic Discussion: Member's birthday on cancels/covers

By cocollectibles on 02/21/2014 07:52:00

The message is the same in both, word for word.

re: Duplicate emails

That's my "bad" Doug. Notice the titles are different; I went into the post and edited the title, so it reads "Member's" instead of "Member"; that counted as a reply evidently, so you got notification of a second reply.

re: Duplicate emails

The vast majority of the time you receive a duplicate email generated by SOR, it will be something the sender did, not a problem with the SOR software. I have accidentally sent such duplicates because of server "sluggishness." A couple of times it appeared that when I clicked on "send," nothing happened, so I clicked on it again. In fact, the server registered the first click, and also the second click, but didn't process it fast enough for me (I am a tad impatient).

A simple way to determine if there was a second transmission (or even 2 transmissions of different, although seemingly identical, messages) is to click "View full header" in your email program: then copy and paste each header into a word processor and compare the two. The first line of the "header" will give a transmission date and time and unless the time stamp is identical, then it is most likely a mistake on the part of the sender. (There is also a lot of other information in the header, but most folk are too intimidated to proceed further than the time stamp, and for this purpose it is usually not necessary)

Computers and the internet are beautiful things when they work the way they are intended to work. And even though there are times when they do not, it is almost always due to the "human factor."
