Whereas most other forums, just send you one notification after the first reply and doesn't send subsequent ones if others reply before you re-visit the forum. I can't see how to reset the preferences to only receive notification on the first reply to a thread.
I think you've hit the nail on the head there.
I just came across this thread after the email updates of every post started getting on my nerves, and I went digging around to try to find a preference setting to set it to only notify of the first reply (was surprised to find there wasn't one - that's a big oversight in what seems like otherwise good forum software!).
I wouldn't mind so much if the email notification at least said what was posted (like the vbuletin emails do), then at least you can see if it's something you should be replying to, but there's only a link to the thread with no info about what the post content is.
I realise after reading this now that I can unsubscribe to a thread when I post something, but that's not much help if someone asks you a question based upon one of your previous posts as you'd easily miss it, particularly if it's an old thread. That might lead to people thinking their posts were being deliberately ignored (though I've just unticked the notify of any replies this time so if anyone responds to this post in particular - I'm not ignoring you on purpose
).
