[image] A peculiar issue where notifications are being sent displaying the receiver’s username as the action performer.

Fixed! The Follow plugin was the cause of this - @angus could you look into this? Thanks to everybody.

Is your Discourse version up to date? What version are you running?

I’m on the utmost latest version of Discourse.

What version on you on? What plugins do you have installed?

Version: v2.3.0.beta3 + 38 Plugins: [image]

Try running discourse on safe-mode and report back.

I went into safe mode and am updated to the latest Discourse version. No luck. Anybody else experiencing this?

Almost certainly a rogue plugin. All third-party plugins are potential causes.

But I went into safe-mode and disabled all plugins and the same issue persists. :confused:

Safe mode disables front end plugins, but notifications are generated on the back end. Safe mode is but going to cut here.

Notified user's name is the notifier

Also the notifications are generated once and store in the database. So removing plugins won’t make this old one revert.
