Can someone explain what the "LinkBacks" are?
This morning I had 10 e-mail notifications of LinkBacks for different threads.
None of them seemed to be relevant to me or the thread.
Obviously, they must serve some purpose, but so far I haven't figured them out.
LinkBacks (Trackbacks, Pingbacks and Refbacks) allow you to notify another site that you wrote something related to what is written on a specific page. This improves the chances of contributors to this page noticing that you gave them credit for something, or that you improved upon something they wrote.
It looks like maybe if you have your profile set up to receive emails when someone has replied to one of your threads???

If its not then I am not sure.
Hi Stephan:
Yeah, I read the information about LinkBacks that is posted on the site, but I still have no idea as to how this is of interest/benefit to me or anyone else.
And yes, I did have my options setup to receive emails when someone has replied to one of my threads. It no longer is.
The email notification about thread replies was great, but if getting all those LinkBack notices is part of the deal, then I can do without both. Gee, does it come across like I don't care for LinkBacks?

Never would have guessed.
I'm sure that it does do something good, maybe it's just too early to tell

I agree with Charles on this one. Not only am I getting notification of someone posting to a link I subscribed to but I am also getting the LinkBacks to the same post....
it's not that we/I don't like change...
It'a just that I have a low tolerance to over redundancy...
Location: Wherever there is a mullet... I'll be there.

Are you still getting them or was this a one time occurance that people are still talking about and assuming is going to be a regular thing without even asking Dwayne if it is a new feature of the site or just an innocent glitch that happened and is now over with?
Business up front and party in the back! Oh yeah, baby. That's the mullet way!
Mullets are chick bait and I'm smooth with the ladies.

Other than the original 10, I have not received anymore notifications of LinkBacks. However, I did try to disable the e-mail notifications in the "Options" of the User Control Panel. As of right now, I don't know if that is the reason I no longer get the LinkBack notifications or if they were indeed a glitch and the situation has been resolved.
My original post attempted to touch on the questioning part when I made it.
