Hello, I have been updated some featured/pinned topics and they seem to be sending out updates every time that I update them. Is there a way to disable this? “Watch first Post” shouldn’t trigger if the post is just slightly edited as far as I can tell? Thanks!

[תמונה] codinghorror: What do you mean by “I have been updated”? What exactly did you do, step by step? Describe it in detail? Your question is unanswerable until you provide this information. Sorry fort he lack of clarity. For some reason, editing a post that I created would notify other us…

Interesting so this is specific to group mentions? Perhaps you can try to repro this when you have time @jomaxro

I have not been able to repro this. I tested it on try, with 3 users. In one post I mentioned all of them individually, in the other I mentioned a group all 3 were in. They all received the initial mention notification, they did not receive further notifications on edit. [image] [image] [image] …

[תמונה] tshenry: I am assuming the post had already mentioned the group prior to being edited? Yes, the group mention was already in the post before being edited. Also, the user making the edit was a different user than the one who owned the topic. I will try to repro on my dev setup today a…
