Why do I keep getting notified of new answers to a question  I answered even though I have selected that I don't want to be notified?

    That question has been asked/answered MANY times in the past week or so (always peruse the questions in the YA subcategory if you're having an issue, to see if your question has already been asked and answered). All you can do is hope they fix the glitch that's causing users to be emailed when they don't want to be. You can set a rule in your email (depending on which email client you use) to send those emails straight to the trash or some other specific folder, so you don't get them in your inbox (and hopefully that will help). Of course, it will also send any BA notifications to the designated folder as well, if you set your filter based on the "From" address.

    It is a glitch that been happening to all of us for a number of days now.  Nothing we can do about it but wait it out until they fix it.  

    It is a pain to keep having to delete mailing every time it happens.  Just have to wait it out.

    Email Notifications are Screwed up and not working right the only thing you can do is Mark the Messages as Spam so it does not go to your Regular Inbox

    Nothing else can be Done Unfortunately since you don't have it Turned on

    That is a glitch. You have to wait until they fix it. There is nothing you can do until then.
