Email notification when a new post...

dear AO members. i am having some trouble with the site options, in which you can choose whether or not you want an email to be sent to you when a new post or new message had arrived. i do not want this to happen and as much as i change the site options it still sends me an email. when i create a post i also uncheck the box for sending an email everytime someone relies. this is what my site potions look like,:

Have any of you get any suggestions on how to stop AO sending me email notifications??

You could have just bumped it instead.

Regardless, not sure about how to fix the email notification problem, especially if you have made absolutely sure you unchecked the notification box. However, to solve your problem temporarily you can go to the Site Subscriptions link on the front page and unsubscribe yourself from all threads. That should work fine until you figure out how to stop subscribing yourself to threads in the first place.

thanks. but i dont want to loose out on any info on a chance that it might solve my problem. its just that its annoying when you get 100 people repsond to a post.

Just a longshot, but you could try deleting your browser cookie(s). Re-visit and Reset your AO site preferences...

Or you can just use the quick reply box like i'm using right now, instead of using the post reply button. That way you get no notification. :D

morfius, thats only if you dont want to subscribe to the post. but the ones that i do subscrobe to keep sending me notifications. and chainz, i already reset all of my cookies. ect

:confused:

You subscribe to the thread, it sends you notifications. You don't subscribe, either by quick-replying or removing your subscription, and it doesn't send you notifications. So what's the problem?

no. there is an option in the site options that either enables or disables the email notifications to anything. i have it all disabled but i still get notifications, thats the problem. see my first post

no, that's an option that sends you a notification when someone replies to any thread you posted in. when you subscribe, you always get email notifications. that's the entire idea behind it.

If you are referring to the setting:

Use 'Email Notification' by default? NO
Using this option emails you whenever someone replies to a thread that you have participated in.

If this setting is set to no, the checkbox for email notification is unchecked by default when replying to a thread. If you then manually check this box or subscribe to the thread you will get the e-mail notification.

The ONLY advantage I can see to subscribing to a thread would be to get the e-mail notifications when someone replies.

If that is not the option you were speaking of please point it out.

thats the option i was talking about but i was under the impression that that option, stops the email notification indefinately, but thanks for the heads up
