Any way to stop all these emails?

Post by -Ralph- »

Is there any setting on the forum where you can automatically stop it from sending you an email every time a thread is updated?

They come from Alun's email address so I don't want to block the sender in my email program, or I wouldn't get genuine emails from Alun, for instance emails about delivery of the magazine.

Thanks

When replying to a thread , untick the subscribe box

or use the quick reply option .

To view your subscribed threads (to un-subscribe etc) click the profile tab
then subscription tab (this will open up all your subscribed threads)

OK, thanks, no universal 'don't send me emails' setting in the profile then? I've set 'Able to receive system emails' and 'Able to receive application notifications' in my profile to 'No', but it doesn't seem to have had any effect on the thread update emails.

I was going to ask the same question yesterday after my inbox was rammed. I sussed that you need to uncheck the subscribe button. Pretty rubbish idea if you ask me, I think you should subscribe in to something not have to click a box everytime you post.

Other forums I am on automatically subscribe you, but they let you choose in your profile settings whether or not to receive an email notification.

I think the main problem is that this forum appears to send you an email each time some one replies. 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.

When you write your reply take the tick out of the SUBSCRIBE box (See Pic 1)

If you have already replied to a message. Find the thread then hit the UNSUBSCRIBE Button. (See Pic 2)

It's very simple and clear how to susbcribe and un-subscribe from a thread, it's how to stop receiving multiple emails about the same thread that's the real problem.

I'd like to know when a thread I'm subscribed to has a reply, but I do not need one email for each person that replies. That just clogs the in-box and is un-necessary.
