: Are you guys still having a problem
: CharlieDaTuna August 01, 2007, 11:50:35 AM
with getting a ton of e-mail notifications. I know that several guys were complaining about it a few days ago and I had the same problem out of the clear blue sky. I've gotten dozens of them and eight in the last hour or so. This is the message I get.

To stop receiving these e-mail, unsubscribe at your control panel

First, it wasn't even my thread and I didn't post to it. When I go to the control panel and unsubscribe to thread, it says that I'm not subscribed to any thing.Beats me!!! And this happened all at ounce and started several days ago.

Hey, Jeff and Bob and who ever else is having the problem. The last time I went into my control panel and clicked on unsubscribe ; I had  to check delete  on the left on each one of the posts and it worked for now . I stopped getting the emails . kirby
: I've done the same thing Jeff
: CharlieDaTuna August 01, 2007, 12:10:20 PM
and in fact, I just got yours too. That makes about 12 in the last hour. I usually get anywhere from 35-50 legitimate e-mails a day on a regular basis plus orders as well as some spam and usually spend about 2-3 hours, sometimes more a day just answering mail.  I sure don't need an additional load...lol... 8)
: I've done that too Dave and it did stop some but
: CharlieDaTuna August 01, 2007, 12:18:30 PM
not many. When I go there it says that I'm not subscribed to any threads  usually. And when there is one, I check mark it. But... you shouldn't have to even do that. I have never had to do it since we brought up the forum on line over a year ago. This has just been happening in the last several days, at least to me.
: Something else weird.....
: CharlieDaTuna August 01, 2007, 12:23:00 PM
One thing that I have noticed is that if I make a post or start a thread, I really get hammered.I hate to even post cuz I know whats comin'. :0

I'm trying something else. In the control panel, there is a selection for "Receive E-mail notifications by default?" it is defaulted to "Use BBS settings" I changed it to "no". Gonna see if that works.

Mine started on their own somehow  yesterday , and  I don't know if I did anything else besides what I posted before, but they've all stopped for  now. kirby

Well, I didn't get an E-mail notification on this one. See my previous post and give it a try.
: RE: Are you guys still having a problem
: PeakChick August 01, 2007, 12:51:04 PM
This seems to work. I checked in control panel and it did not auto-subcribe me to this thread.

Yep had the same problem a few day's ago and did what Stephanie did, PRESTO for me. :) Ed

I tried Stephanies suggestion, now let see what happens.
: Hey Stephanie... that didn't do it and
: CharlieDaTuna August 01, 2007, 01:30:47 PM
I checked the control panel and for some reason, when I went to the unsubscribe, it was unchecked again. This is nuts.

Bad voodoo Bob, might have to call the local WitchDoctor :o Ed

: PeakChick August 01, 2007, 01:37:55 PM
Bob, is it still auto subcribing you to a thread. Did you unsubcribe to the thread. Then make the "No" selection on "Receive E-mail notification by default" on the opposite side of control panel? You need to then hit submit for changes to take place.

: CharlieDaTuna August 01, 2007, 02:01:05 PM
it does seem to be ok now. I think what I'll do is let it set there for a couple of days and see what happens. Perhaps a couple of you could go there and just make a comment for testing purposes and later I'll delete all of it. It's called test and it's on the non-productive post  page in the product review gate.

What I did.....I deleted 16 of the files from my e-mail first. Then I cleared all of my caches. Next I made sure that the was nothing being subscribed to in the control panel, then made sure that the BBS code thingie that Steph referred to was set to no, put up the test and then submitted it. So far it seems to be working like it did several days ago. Hope this is going to do it.

 What I don't understand is how it got so whacky to begin with and not just with me but a lot of the other members. If it were just me, I'd have to assume that it was something that I did but I've changed noting but my logo as of late. I rarely even go to the control page. Oh well. Crap happens sometimes.....................Ain't technology wonderful. :0
