Managing Unwanted Email Notifications on Forums: A Guide

[davenn]

hi @Greg Bernhardt

Don't know if you have made some changes ?
3 days ago I started receiving email notifications to watched threads/alerts of quoted posts etc
I have never had these before and I cannot seem to stop them.
email notification option is turned off in my profile preferences
and I have repeatedly clicked on the link in the bottom of the email to stop emails
yet they still come

If you no longer wish to receive these emails, you may disable emails from this thread or disable all emails.

using the disable all emails option takes me to a www page to update settings which I doregards

When you post a new thread check to see if the "recieve notification" checkbox is ticked

Try going to

and disabling the email notifications from there

Hi Greg

Thanks,
have done that now and will see if that solves the issue
was just strange that it started sending emails all on it's own without any prompting from me hahaha
no big deal, was just strange

cheers
