Hello,

I want to delete my profile. I have scanned all of the obvious places for the delete button, but I can not find one. How do I delete my profile or, at the very least, remove my email address from PF's mailing list?

Thanks.

When do you get e-mails from the PF? Are they about replies to threads that you've subscribed to? You can remove your subscriptions from within your Profile page.

Or if you just stop logging in, then eventually you'll stop getting mails.
If you want to stop getting mail now, then you can unsubscribe like Berkeman suggests.

I get them infrequently. I have unsubscribed from all the threads. It would really do my psyche some good if you would delete this account, berkeman.

Thanks for replying so quickly.

I found this was enabled in your Profile page:

Automatic Thread Subscription Mode = Instant Email Notification

Turn that off in your profile, and you should be good to go. You already have:

Receive PF Admin Emails = No

Not in my case. I finally logged in today and the box in the upper-right corner said "You last visited: Oct23-10 at 09:08 PM" which I think qualifies as eventually.
