volitics Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Hello;I keep getting e-mails from this forum from new posts in various other threads in which I have never participated. I do not see an option in the "My Controls" section that gives me the option of stopping the e-mails. Can somebody tell me how I can get them stopped?Thanks.

Jonas Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Hmm, that sounds weird. Have you tried in My Controls on "Email settings"?Email Settings -> Board Preferences -> Enable 'Email Notification' by default?If ticked, choose default type: [No Email Notification] v]Try ticking or unticking that...

volitics Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 I think that I might have found the problem. I was subscribed to three forums.I unsubscribed by clicking on "View Forums" then checking the check boxes and clicking the "unsubscribe" button.

Jonas Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Did you try what I suggested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volitics Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 Did you try what I suggested?Un-ticking the 'Email Notification' by default option was one of the very first things I did. I had already checked that before I made the post.If you will read the description of the problem at the beginning of this thread you will see that my complaint is that I am receiving e-mails from threads in which I have never participated.I have been getting about one erroneous notification about every couple of days.Although I unticked it early on the 'Email Notification' by default option really does not pertain to my problem since I am receiving the emails from threads to which I am not subscribed and have never visited in the first place.In other words, I am receiving e-mail notifications from completely strange threads I know nothing about.

Jonas Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Hmm, must be a bug... What about the emails, can you block them with your email filter without blocking the rest of the board messages such as PM notification and stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volitics Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 You're right. It does appear to be a bug in the software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
