Two notifications created on a following user made one topic

[VSCPlays (Reko_FromSlovenia)]

Reproduction Steps

1. Follow a user
2. Turn on “Notify me when someone I follow creates a topic” in Preferences > Notifications
3. Wait for them to make a topic (only if a regular made a bug report using the bug report wizard)
4. Press on the notification and notice that there is only one topic

Expected Behavior

It should only put out one notification instead of two

Actual Behavior

It puts out two notifications on one topic (it’s on @wravager’s recent bug report)

Issue Type: Notifications
Issue Area: Notifications Page
Frequency: Only when a Regular makes a Bug Report via the Bug Report Wizard
Impact: Low

Made some changes here because I must have clarified that earlier

to bump this, I got it again from @Abcreator

I replied to my own topic hence why you received a double notification, one for the topic, one for the reply.

[VSCPlays (Reko_FromSlovenia)]

buut, for the wravager one, there is only one reply until a roblox staff responded two hours after this topic was made

also I have disabled “Notify me when someone I follow replies”

[Abcreator]

There seems to be a common theme with bug-reports giving a double notification, could it simply be related to how the bug wizard handles topic creation?

[GamersInternational (RIPWiiU3DSOnline0904)]

I follow @Abcreator too but cannot reproduce

It might just be something on your end

[VSCPlays (Reko_FromSlovenia)]

though the screenshot you showed doesn’t contain the topic notification (also happens in all of my devices regardless of the specs)

are you sure you have “Notify me when someone I follow creates a topic” enabled?

[GamersInternational (RIPWiiU3DSOnline0904)]

All on.

[VSCPlays (Reko_FromSlovenia)]

forced to reply

it happened again on @Lightning_Splash

[VSCPlays (Reko_FromSlovenia)]

Now it seems to be fixed? @Abcreator made another bug report and only got one notification

[VSCPlays (Reko_FromSlovenia)]

had to unmark this as a solution, it happened again on @Abcreator

[VSCPlays (Reko_FromSlovenia)]

I had to reply again, I got it from @rogeriodec_games

[ValiantWind (Val)]

Can confirm. This has been happening to me for several weeks. Thanks for reporting it.

[VSCPlays (Reko_FromSlovenia)]

I may have to bump this again, I got it from @rogeriodec_games

[VSCPlays (Reko_FromSlovenia)]

forced to bump this, got it from @VegetationBush (formerly TOP_Crundee123)

[VSCPlays (Reko_FromSlovenia)]

Oh no, I got @Beloathed by this bug!

[Beloathed (Gamer)]

This is a certified bruh moment.

[VSCPlays (Reko_FromSlovenia)]

So, the notifications both go to the same report? I’d assume that one of them is supposed to link to the one that is the group message to the bug reports staff only section but is automatically referring to the public topic.
