To stop receiving email alerts from Physics Forums, users should click on the USER option in the top banner, which opens a pop-up with account settings. In this window, scrolling to the bottom reveals the Preferences option. Users can then uncheck the boxes for email notifications to cease alerts. Additionally, specific thread notifications can be managed through the provided link for watched threads. This process effectively reduces unwanted email clutter while allowing users to check updates directly on the site.

Physics news on Phys.org

Tom
