Why is Yahoo sending emails letting us know when one of our contacts asks a question?

Question

Man that is so annoying. When I opened up my email I had 137 messages.

Answer 1

It's a new feature they added during the last update. Go to edit my info to turn it off.

Answer 2

i dont know but if i got 137 messages hat would be annoying too! so far i only got 2.

Answer 3

Hmm... I haven't gotten any of those. I am getting double BA emails though, even a day later. Leave it to Yahoo

Answer 4

I have not had this experience as of yet.....though I think in the REAL & FOMIDABLY CORRECT WAY OF VIEWING THIS: We have been reduced to a lab experiment....."IF" you stop to think about it, what kinds of psychology are at play here are intricate and clever. 1) What will inspire someone to participate? 2) What incentives can we court them into our web of aliiances 3) let us discover what lies beneath the soft little underbellies of each player and see who reacts and how quickly. 4)let them THINK they have allies, people of like minds, perhaps that will inspire them to read our ads, buy from us, reveal their fears and joys and desires 5) Make and take great notice of who acts out and in which way....be it positive or negative.....as we allow the Trolls to slide.....perhaps using Y!A company people as an occasional ruse to excite things....it is possible you know. 6)Allow them a certain amount of creativity, a modicum of responsibility and design, and then change the designs so as to see who in what categories can or will mainitan their stance here. The 360 Page idea might just be a tour de force and employ the heartfelt patterns of humanity through & via 'allowing us to colour' and present our private lives 7) who has the cojones to stick with the Violations, Lies, Promises and so forth.....8) Pretend that we have in Yahoo Answers, people of judicial or eco minded as well political...and see who rubs who the wrong way or even the right. 9) I see us as Yahoos lab rats....and they have NO INTENTION of picking up the earleir pieces, exampling what it is like to live in an abusive tribe of or thousands of cadres of those who seek each other out, while we watch, as allowing the participants who are piqued at the notion that reaching a level , 7 in this case is validation enough from a small group of people in Nothern California who puch poencils and do not address the real reasons that anything is done 10)Forestall the real reasons and the fact that Yahoo will do NOTHING save continue to propogate probegrandoise letters of peace and knowledge all the while actually using hre public at large with no real care as to the 'tuned in quality' of keeping abreast of cutratedesign in Forum fasion, and let's atch the ratss inthe myriad maze ( many will falter, give up or become eschewed from this course.....so yahoo looks for faults, fiond them, ad Lies about who wins andwho will buckle under the popularity contest that this had become....it is NO LONGER 'fun', but a wearisome advertisement for Yahoo...and they think they have made us need them..... 11) In the final analasis, one mnust ask oneself, "What comes next as we particpate in a display of humanity, the lack of humanity, pervs, perps, children, people actaully addicted to this sitefor the feeling of an accomplishents or series of the it vrtue of sealing the fates of many earlier onto see where we all are on the food chain.......I have FOR now said quite enough..... I am ONLY getting started.

P.S.
It is all stats and demographs people.....don't be fooled......am I long winded? I have only begun to fight back. No, I have not yet received my xmas money, I mean coffee cup from Yahoo....but perhaps that day will come....I shall lay my cloak at the feet of the Rodent mascot and beg to God to wonder why I ever began in such earnest. I AM ready to quit, anyoine care to challenge me?

Answer 5

I'm sorry sweetie. I meant to set your profile so that you would be notified when I asked a question. I must have accidentally pressed the button for "all" contacts. Sorry.

Answer 6

yes I wonder the same because I got one know.this is something new from Y!A and yes,it is annoying.
137 messages? wow!

Answer 7

lol I know. Just go into settings and uncheck the box that says notify me when my contact asks a questions. I just figured that out lol

:D

Answer 8

137? Geez!
None of my contacts ask questions.

Answer 9

When you ask the question there is a box that you can check or remove the check so that you won't be notified each time.

Answer 10

Wow! You must have a lot of contacts. And yes, they made a mistake with that new feature.
