Flood of our-of-date email notifications

What's going on?!

A sudden flood of email notifications today for posts I'm on, all of which are out-of-date!

Hi @BIWI and others, thanks for reporting this.

Please can you let us know the device and browser version you are using.

Also, please can you send a screenshot if possible? Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this for you. Flowers

Me too. I thought suddenly my posts had got really popular.

I'm using the app on an iPhone.

bruffin · 09/03/2021 16:40

I dont see how that helps as it is emails being set to us that is the priblem. The notifications on the ap seem to be dated correctly.

Poundaminute · 09/03/2021 16:40

I was wondering about this too!
Also on and iphone.

This. Same here. Chrome browser and website on my iPhone. I received 4/5 in the space of an hour earlier today.

I'm puzzled as to why you think it would be to do with our browsers or kit, @soniamumsnet. Far more likely to be something at your end!

However, I'm on a Mac, OS Catalina, using safari. I had the same thing using my iphone.

Yep me too. Laptop/edge.

Do you all have gmail accounts? I got a ton of out of date emails today, not just from MN

I do use gmail for MN notifications - but I have only had out-of-date emails from MN, no-one else.

giletrouge · 09/03/2021 18:37

No not gmail - outlook. And yes only from mumsnet.

EineKleineNachtwatcher · 09/03/2021 21:16

I had several @ mentions in the early hours of the morning but didn't receive the emails until this afternoon.

Ipad safari desktop site

ConnieDobbs · 09/03/2021 21:20

Same here, and I replied to the comment before realising that it was from last week. I use Gmail.

AnyFucker · 09/03/2021 21:21

I thought it was me going crackers

I phone/Safari

mynameiscalypso · 09/03/2021 21:28

I had noticed that I hadn't received any email notifications for a while and wondered how/if I'd turned them off. Then they all came today. I use gmail and access MN via the app but I agree that that's neither here nor there as it's clearly a problem with the emails being sent out rather than anything I'm doing.

BoreOfWhabylon · 09/03/2021 22:03

Could someone @ me as a test please?

Thanks for flagging this. We are looking into what has happened - from what we can see there were a few days where all mention emails were stuck in a queue and did not send, and then they all got sent at the same time yesterday. We are investigating why this happened and will get back to you when we have found the cause (though we know it's nothing nefarious). If you are still having issues, please let us know.
