Hello,

I've received over a hundred notices today alone in spite of not having visited the forum for several months.  This started yesterday for no reason.  I've check "no" on everything in preferences.

Thanks.

    Read my OP before you spout off...I haven't subcribed to any threads at this forum in months and and I have notification turned off.  I'm recieving notifications on EVERY (notice caps) discussion.

    You have a serious reading comprehension problem, royI47.

    The setting in question is not found in any of your preferences.  It's found on each thread as well as in every forum where you have clicked on "Receive email notifications".  There's no other way to activate or deactivate that functionality.

    If you don't remember doing it yourself, maybe it was done by you inadvertently, or somebody who has access to your computer and/or your account did it behind your back just to annoy you, and I can easily understand why a number of people would like to annoy you.

    On a per forum basis:

    .

    On a per thread basis:

    ,

    .

    Please note that those settings are independent of each other.  You have to turn off each and every thread as well as each and every forum separately.

    You are the only one "spouting off" here.

    I think it is you that has the comprehension problem...the email notification option was the first thing I changed...in fact I've change it back and forth several times trying to get the site to respond...that's before your oh so brilliant suggestion.  I'd estimate since Friday the 2nd. I've been flooded with over 200 notifications on vertually every discussion on the forum and none of then have I ever visited or subscribed to.

    I WANT AN ADMINISTRATOR FROM THIS SITE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.  IT IS OBVIOUSLY A BUG WITH THE SITE SINCE NONE OF MY PREFERENCES MAKE ANY CHANGES IN THE FLOOD OF UNSUBSCRIBED DISCUSSION NOTICES I'M RECEIVING.

    A bug affecting one user? And please don't write in all caps.

    Thanks for your time but I'm not interested in a tutorial or spending any of my time doing homework so that I can use this forum.  I liked it the way it was...don't need anything else and I will cancel my subscription or block the emails before I'll waste my time with this.
