Can't disable email notifications

[FaerieStories]

My email is being spammed by notifications every time someone responds to a post of mine. I tried to disable this in the preferences by selecting 'no' to email notifications, but it doesn't seem to have worked as I am still getting them.

Any ideas?

When making a new post, you should see a box to notify you when a new reply is posted; any thread on which that box has been ticked, you are subscribed to regardless of global settings.

On the top of any page on the site, there should be a link to your profile. Going there will give you a list of topics to which you are subscribed, and you can easily unsubscribe to them from there.

But the thing is I still want to be 'subscribed' insofar as I can still access the 'watched topics' list at the top of my profile- because that's useful. I just don't want to be emailed about it each time.

Add the topic as a favorite. See the bottom left of the topic. You won't be notified of any posts, but you can access it from the Favorites link at the top.

Hm, that's one solution, but it isn't quite as handy as the 'watched topics' option as it doesn't tell you who the last poster was.

I think the best method is just to block the forum from my email.

Hmm... Then I'm also at a loss.

Otseng might know, but you could probably just unsubscribe from everything and check the recent topics/your posts until then. I used to like the emails until I started waking up to 10+.

Edit: Out of date by ten minutes... Irish internet.

If I add the last poster and time to that page, would that work for you?

That's very kind of you to offer- thanks- but I think I've pretty much solved the problem now simply by filtering my email to remove the emails sent to my inbox.

If you never want to get email notifications, invent a new email account and change your Profile to reflect that. Your regular email account will be 'spam' free. But if you ever forget your password you can still get it changed using the 'spammed' email account. Just don't forget that password.

But before you do that...anyone have an opinion why this is not a good idea?

Thought it'd be nice to have this anyways. So, now the favorites has the last poster and time.
