Re: E-mail

Hi Wildsam,

You can't edit your profile until you've made 25 posts, but you cna switch of email notification by clicking on the mouse icon at the top of screen and choosing 'edit options'

Re: E-mail

Its in the options in

Member Control Panel

The mouse icon at the top left of the page.

You may have to post 25 posts before permissions are changed though but Edit Profile is under Settings & Options

And then Edit Options, which is also under Settings & Options, allows you to opt out receiving email notifications if you go to

Default Thread Subscription Mode

Re: E-mail

Come on Sam

Post again and you should be able to change. I think however that even when you have reached the magic 25 posts the servers may need, up to, 24 hours to re-assign your profile or something like that - I seem to remember?

Because your three separate posts above were condensed back into a single one, which took your total back down to under the 25 post mark - no cheating

I have to ask why you want to disable the e-mail notifications anyway. Don't you want to know when there are answers to threads you have started and threads you have subscribed to.

by disabling email notification you wont get emails on any new posts you subscribe to / take part in once you have changed your prefference - to avoid getting them from those you have already taken part in you need to unsubscribe from them in the members control panel

as to reasons to disable it the two good ones i can think of are a) if you used someone elses email, or a work email to sign up , and b)if you are very active and get buried in notifications - mine is disabled forthe latter reason , tho i have left pm notification active.
