Is the new posts not working?Captain America said:Hey, how come, all of a sudden, when I post, I am immediately "subscribed" to the thread and now I am getting emails in my box when people respond or post on that thread? It never was like that before. It is clogging up my email box.
Do I need to do something from my end?
Also, can anyone answer the question in my post above? #3
Thanks, I was just going to ask how to turn that damn thing off, I had 50 odd e-mails this morning!:shock:vauge said:Is the new posts not working?
To adjust email setting:
USER CP> Edit Options > Default Thread Subscription Mode
Change it to what you would like.
It was recently turned off for everyone due to slowing the server way down. It is now set back on the correct default (instant email notification) after the server upgrade.
Not sure really. Whistlestopper is a forum much like this one in appearance. When I post there (shhhhh...I'm supposed to be banned from there:rofl ) I can click on "new posts" and my post is usually right there on top with any other "new posts"vauge said:Is the new posts not working?
WhistleStopper is running 3.0.6 - older version that utilizes cookies & session timers to find out if you have read a post or not. Everytime you login, you will see new posts - often you may have already read them. This is why topics fly by easier over there.Captain America said:Not sure really.

I do that here and my post is no where to be found.
Myself, I use the "new post" icon a lot to stay current with real time posts.
"Do Not Subscribe"aps said:Help!
What do I want to have my option be if I do not want any e-mail notification?
"Do not subscribe"
"No e-mail notification"
I'm being overloaded with e-mails. :shock:
"Do not subscribe", if you are not used to using the subscription features.aps said:Help!

I was obviously incorrect, because I'm still getting e-mails, must be "no e-mail notification" am I correst in assuming this is the correct option?vauge said:"Do not subscribe", if you are not used to using the subscription features.
The reason this is active, is to help elliminate one hit wonders. If new user sees that a response has been made to his/her post, they will likely return. Without it, we will get much more folks that are only on for one evening.
I'm sorry this is screwing everyone up.![]()
If you respond to a thread that is currently set up for email subscription you can turn it off by looking below the submit button for thread subscription during a reply. That should stop the emails.Deegan said:I was obviously incorrect, because I'm still getting e-mails, must be "no e-mail notification" am I correst in assuming this is the correct option?![]()

I was going nuts the other night 'cause I noticed on the main page that some of the threads I subscribe to were being updated, but they weren't showing up in my User CP....even threads that I'd be subscribed to for a few days! Lucky for me Kelzie was online at the time and was able to help out.....:mrgreen:vauge said:We had to turn this off the other day because it was completely bogging down the old server.
Shuamort felt the pain within a few hours - he uses it extensively. I would not doubt he uses the folder options too. We can put our subscriptions into folders too. It can make them simple to find based on topic, mood, or whatever you want to classify them as.
It really is a sweet system, but it has a learning curve.
vauge, am I doing something wrong? I have "do not subscribe" and yet I am still getting e-mails about responses to the threads I have posted in.vauge said:If you respond to a thread that is currently set up for email subscription you can turn it off by looking below the submit button for thread subscription during a reply. That should stop the emails.Or, you can remove the email subscription from your USER CP > Subscriptions.
I also went ahead and created a global announcement for folks that might not make down here that may have questions about it on the homepage.
You should be setup right, but folks are still responding to the posts that were auto-subscribed.aps said:vauge, am I doing something wrong? I have "do not subscribe" and yet I am still getting e-mails about responses to the threads I have posted in.![]()
Thank you. :2bow:vauge said:You should be setup right, but folks are still responding to the posts that were auto-subscribed.
I deleted all your subscriptions. Let me know if you still get emails.
If anyone else has this issue, let me know.
You may have to go into some threads and unsubscribe from them, and then resubscribe and select the no email option.Deegan said:I'm still getting them, I have it on "no e-mail response" Now my wife got the e-mail about our sex life, and me having a headache!:doh :shock:
Now I got another unwanted e-mail, this one is from my angry wife!![]()
You will recieve no more emails. I deleted all your subscriptions.Deegan said:I'm still getting them, I have it on "no e-mail response" Now my wife got the e-mail about our sex life, and me having a headache!:doh :shock:

Thanks, that's what I get for getting too personal here, it was bound to happen. I share the e-mail account with my wife, as she uses it for her Ebay habit, it's not the first time I have gotten myself in trouble.:dohvauge said:You will recieve no more emails. I deleted all your subscriptions.
Sorry about that.
Deegan, LOL, do the "no subscription" choice. It worked for me (well, it may have been vauge going in there and fixing it).Deegan said:I'm still getting them, I have it on "no e-mail response" Now my wife got the e-mail about our sex life, and me having a headache!:doh :shock:
