How do I stop the emails?

Post Reply New Topic

I logged into the email connected to this account for the first time in ages and... holy crap. I have more than 1000. How do I stop these?

Now I've just got them going to my spam folder. I see you can individually unotify each subject but I've posted onto so many. Any way to stop them all from wrongplanet itself?

Yes, you can stop them when you make a post to a thread. Below the field where you type your post, to the left there are two check boxes/"tick" boxes, one says "Attach a signature" and the other says "Notify me when a reply is posted."

Uncheck/un-tick that Notify box and you will no longer receive e-mails telling you more replies have been made to a thread you took part in.

I have to go throw every single thread I have ever posted on?

I might be wrong but at the moment it looks like maybe, yes, unless someone can tell us if there is an over-arching setting in our accounts where we can turn off all topic notifications?

I may be remembering this wrongly, but I seem to recall that on the old website there was an option for turning them all off in your member profile page. I can't seem to find anything like that now.

You can also open the notification e-mails and scroll down to the last link, which takes you to an option to no longer receive notifications on that topic -- but yes, this would have to be done to each individual topic also.

Best thing to do going forward is to start from now on manually removing the check-tick from that box beneath your posting field, whenever you are making a new reply on a thread.

Still would like to call out to anyone reading -- is there a central option to refuse all notifications, instead of just one-by-one manually?

If I discard without visiting I don't get any more on that topic, I think because you're only notified once there's something new. A few more emails might trickle in, probably not many though.

I guess I'll just let them go into my spam folder

Yes, let the ones you're already getting go to Spam, and going forward from now, try to un-tick that box below your posting field so that no more come in from new threads you take part in.

I still seem to remember a general option where you used to be able to turn it off altogether though...

Hey. I'm not sure if this will turn off all notifications, but you could try going to your PM folder/User Control Panel> click on "Board Preferences" tab on the left> Edit Posting Defaults> Select 'No' for Notify me upon replies by default> Submit.

BTW if anyone is interested, there is an option to remove your signature rather than doing it manually each time you make a post by selecting 'no' next to "attach my signature by default".

Hope that helps!
