Ernest Burden III Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 Lately I have been getting email messages from this forum when someone posts a response to a thread I started. I figured I must have checked the wrong box last time I was in my profile, but when I went back I could not see where to toggle this feature. Did I miss something obvious or has the forum software gone bad on us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it must have gone in that open brain port 135 and back out again. I didn't realize that what Jeff has enabled let no man uncheck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Jeff Mottle Posted October 27, 2002 Administrators Share Posted October 27, 2002 Hey Ernest, You can still uncheck it, it's just that it is now check by default rather than uncheck. I too found I was having the same problem as Nisus. Unless many people object, I was going to keep it this way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes No Be notified by email when someone sends you a private message? Yes No It's not likely the second, so it must be the first. I did not read 'allowing admin.s to send emails' to mean 'auto-notice when your thread replied to'. May I suggest a re-wording of the label for the checkbox?

Administrators Jeff Mottle Posted October 27, 2002 Administrators Share Posted October 27, 2002 Hey Ernest, the checkbox you are looking for appear to the botom left of the textbox you use when post a message to the forum. This checkbox only appears if you are the topic starter. And consequantly you can only be notified of new messages if you are the topic starter. If you have a topic that you wish to change so that you do not receive notification, just edit your original message and uncheck the checkbox mentioned above.

nisus Posted October 27, 2002 Share Posted October 27, 2002 Euh oops... i still think it is a good idea to activated that checkbox automatically. Did you already find where to change the settings when posting a new topic Ernest? rgds nisus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks all, I will be mindful of this in the future. I don't mind having to uncheck it, I just went looking and could not find the way to do it. I was looking in the wrong place.
