0 Antoine F Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Sure thing, it might take some time because we have issues to reproduce it. Most members are complaining to not receive the notifications. Best, Antoine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 brrt Posted November 2, 2017 Author Share Posted November 2, 2017 thank you for looking into the issue! maybe not everybody is following the forum "PrestaShop news and releases" so they do not get those notifications? my observation was: e.g. on Mon, 30 Oct i got 17 notifications about a new topic in the forum "PrestaShop news and releases", all of them were different and obviously spam. most of the times when i clicked to view the topic i got an error that the topic does not exist. but sometimes ( i think when i clicked the link immediatly after recieving the notification) i was able to access the topic. some time later the topic again disappeared. the topic came from different users, e.g.: @Shasikatesl or @uihzxuic5 (strange, take a look how many usernames start with "uihz", crazy!) if you look at this users i see e.g. "Content Count: 6" but i can see no topics, posts etc. as a first step i would recommend to restrict the permissions on the "PrestaShop news and releases" forum so that not everybody is allowed to post topics. but you will still have to find out what happened to those useraccounts posting that spam topics, looks like there are many fake accounts and/or maybe hacked ones.
