JDPower Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 This has been an annoyance of mine for a long time so thought it was time to ask. Am I the only one that gets forum email notifications (new topics, replies to messages etc) regardless of how I have the email settings in my control panel set? Yesterday I tried unticking ALL the email settings and I still got a bunch of email notifications since. I don't mind getting emails to inform me if someone replies to a topic I've taken part in but getting an email for every new topic that's posted is a nuisance.

Moderators Andavari Posted November 12, 2008 Moderators Share Posted November 12, 2008 If I couldn't disable it via the My Controls settings, I would block the notification email address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDPower Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 If I couldn't disable it via the My Controls settings, I would block the notification email address. Thing is I just want to be able to control it normally. I'm perferctly happy to get a notification email if someone replies to a topic I've taken part in, just wish I could cut down the number i get as a result of getting one for every new topic posted and seems the forum is completely ignoring whatever changes I make in my email settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted November 13, 2008 Moderators Share Posted November 13, 2008 seems the forum is completely ignoring whatever changes I make in my email settings Have you tried changing the settings in a different browser. Maybe it's a cookie issue, which is the only thing I can think of why it may not be saving your settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDPower Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 Well just to update, after trying everything and giving up, I discovered the problem by pure chance when looking through my forum settings for something else. For some reason I was subscribed to the entire software section of the forum, so every new post and reply in the software section was sending an email notification to me, even though I had all email settings disabled. A strange quirk of the forum software I presume. So having now removed that subscription (that I don't remember ever setting) all is well again and forum is finally only notifying me of replies to topics I've taken part in. Took a while but got there in the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkshireman Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Sorry I didn't see your topic sooner. (Having a few years managing this software, IP.Board, you tend to learn the common problems.) Glad you sussed it out anyway.
