Feature request: option to combine notifications in 1 email

  • July 30, 2026

If a topic gets 5 new replies in quick succession I get 5 separate emails.

I would like to either:

  1. receive 1 email with all 5 notifications. Of course this means there is an additional delay to save up notifications. But if it is an option I don’t mind the waiting time.
  2. Or a general email notifying me I have unspecified unread notifications that haven’t been read in x time.

 

Additionally I get multiple notifications if there is an accepted answer. Which is a separate issue, but related as it adds to the number of emails I receive from ST.

I don’t think this option works.
I get multiple emails. What counts as a visit?

This also applies to notifications within the web page.

eg, this morning I received a load of notifications in quick succession all telling me that a ‘best answer’ has been marked in the same post:

 

I guess this is because the OP kept changing his mind - but it would, indeed, be good to have a delay to filter these out.

The old forum has the same issue:

 

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

Or, perhaps, misunderstood the system, and was trying to mark multiple “best” answers ?

I’ve made a separate topic for that:
