Forum Notification Bug

Note - Im not sure if this is allowed, I searched and there were quite a lot of old Forum Bug posts but if there is a new rule please correct me and I will close the topic.

So I was checking my notifications this morning and saw this.


I thought “Oh, a tl3 must have edited one of my posts”
But I click it, and its this?


I am not mentioned anywhere in this post and this topic isn’t even mine.

I have no idea why this happened…

I have no idea how this happened unless you’re the one that flagged it.

The system sends notifications to all members of a group, like trustlevel 2, and moderators. The edit history shows a tl3 edited the post, whe a high level user makes edits, the forum system might sometimes reprocess all notifications for that post, including any group mentions

This is off topic, but I think if you flagged it and then it was edited you get pinged

Nevermind, I think I found the issue,

M_oop’s post was hidden after being flagged I think,

I think that since my post might have been next to it it channged my post number and pinged me instead.
