I just got a notification message about a KudoZ entry that is not in my language pair and that I never even clicked on, let alone commented on. Looks like the database is still on the blink.

Same here Jan 4, 2006

I've noticed the same thing for quite a while (several weeks/months), but so far it only seems to concern "flagged" colleagues.

I never flagged anyone Jan 4, 2006

... so no, Cilian, that can't be the only reason

If you flag someone, you are notified of all questions they ask regardless of the language and field preferences you have set for general KudoZ notifications. This behaviour is by design.

This of course doesn't explain Ricki's problem if she has not set any flags.

the same Jan 4, 2006

I had the same two times. I got "notes" from KudoZ questions I never visited from pairs, which are not mine.
