Help-suddenly I'm subscribed???

I suddenly seem to have a number of subscribed threads, to many of which I get instant notifications. I've never subscribed to any threads, so something unexpected seems to have happened. Help!

Go to this page and change your Default Thread Subscription Mode. :2tsup:

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. :2tsup:

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:oo:

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.

Cheers - Neil :no:

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