Message center bug: Getting notification for own sent messages

[+baracutio]

Hey,

 

I"ve just sent a message via GC message center to a colleague. Right after I clicked the 'send' button I received an email notification. The mail subject is saying 'Geocaching: baracutio, you have a new message from baracutio!'. Actually I'm not sending myself messages Here seems to be something wrong with the notifications.

 

 

Greetings

Not sure of the email wording, but there is an option in the MC to ‘Forward messages to e-mail’.  Do you have this set?

That is not a bug, it's a feature. You can turn that off here:

The point is, whenever I'm sending a message, I get an email.

If I'm receiving a reply through message center, I'm getting no email notification.

Okay, that is weird indeed.

That is how is designed:

The settings in de messagecenter gives you an email for every message you send.

In your geocaching-settings ( https://www.geocaching.com/account/settings/emailpreferences ) there is a setting to send you an email when someone else sends you a message

For reasons known only to the developers, the email notification settings for sent messages are in the Message Centre settings:

 

 

but the email notification settings for received messages are in a totally different place, on the Email Preferences page of your account settings:

 

 

This would have to come close to being the most dumbest thing on the website.
