Receiving notifications from old Topics

[zk_Maxx (jaiix)]

Recently, I have being receiving notifications from topics that are from December of 2017, August 2018, and so on. Basically, I have been receiving topic notification from a year(s) ago. I really have no clue what could be causing this.

I have ‘Watching First Post’ enabled for some categories. It only sends me the notification from those categories, but they are from years ago. Could someone help me with this issue?

Buildthomas explained this on another topic:

Old Posts Getting Updated?

The company that maintains the Developer Forum is running a bot that is fixing images, which would normally be a good thing. Unfortunately they are doing it in a very roundabout way causing the layout of some posts to be broken as a result (details tags go missing, posts are scraped from the HTML and then changed, then submitted as the new version, etc) so I’m not too happy about it. We’ve brought this up with Developer Relations.

It’s just moving posts to a different category and editing old posts to fix broken links. It does not change the posts in any other way.

Categorizing unsorted threads into the right subcategory

Thanks for showing me that, really was starting to worry.

Staff were just re-categorizing some Art Design Support threads under Game Design Support and some other categories. About 150-200 threads were moved. Already done so inconvenience should be over now.
