Thread: Help-suddenly I'm subscribed???

Go to this page and change your Default Thread Subscription Mode.

Then go to this page & look down the notification column on the 2nd right & select anything that has notification set to instant & then skid down the bottom of the page & changed selected items to No e-mail notification.

Thanks Cliff...wonder how it happened.

It happened to me & I think a few others were mentioning it today too.

Same thing happened to me Alex - I thought I must have had a brainfart when I started getting all these emails so I deleted the threads to which I'd magically subscribed but still a mystery.

There was a forum wide default change, but I think it was reversed. Happened to me but I found a thread that discussed it and offered the solution.

Thought for a monent there I was back in the 70's....

It's happenned again, so I've changed it again...hope it works this time.

I have turned off emal notification/ deleted subscribed threads but every time I do a post on a new thread it automatically subscribes me to the thread and my personal email keeps getting flooded with notifications!!!!!!!

How do I stop this PLEASE!!!!!

Just Checked...Even the above post is now subscribed

After you changed the notification did you scroll to the bottom of that page and save the changes?

Hi DJ,

I did save the changes but the problem is every new thread I make a post in, it lists it as a subscription and defaults to instant notification.... this problem has only been happening since about 11pm Wednesday night.

I have never subscribed to anything or set instant notification (to my knowledge)

Thanks,

Chipman

No worries, I'll let Admin know.

Thanks DJ!

And you reckon you've got a problem.

I've been getting hundreds of emails a day bounced back to me from members who've subscribed but haven't updated their email addresses here since changing to a new one.

I have turned the auto subscribe thing off. Thought it had already been done but 400 bounced emails this morning convinced me otherwise.

PS if you want to subscribe to a thread now then you will need to do it manually.
