I just got 10 pts for best answer?

How come I got notified 16 times?

Update:

wouldn't it be grand if we got the 10 pts every time they sent the notification to us. Wow, I'd be up to like 2 or 3 grand now. :):):)

    Sorry to break this to you but it's happening to LOTS of us and there is no way for us to opt out of getting those "best answer" notices!! You can't just change your preference. We're all just stuck with the junk emails.

    It's Yahoo Answer's latest glitch. (They get so many here, it's pitiful.) It's happening to lots of us. I logged in today and had almost 100 of those best answer messages then another 40 or so rolled in but, as I'm wading through them today, I find that a bunch are repeats of the 20 or so that I had last night!! Very annoying!!

    But that's Yahoo for you, they are always having some sort of glitch or other. Welcome to yaHELL.

    There has to be a glitch I just had 26 emails for 2 best answers. Yesterday I was not getting any emails for best answer and today they are going overboard. Mark it up as another yahoo glitch maybe they will get it fixed soon. Good luck!!!

    I've got nearly a hundred! (same 8 repeated)

    As far as I can see there is no setting to turn it off, so I set up another free mail account eg Hotmail to receive them.

    Alternatively, use the mail filter to put them straight into the Trash - my ones come from uk-answers-alert@cc.yahoo-inc.com (but your's might be different if you are signed up to a different Yahoo Answers).
