I went back to User CP and noticed that I could click on all subscribed threads over on the right of the subscribed threads. When I went to that page, there were 61 subscribed threads (it says so at the top of the list).

News to me—I never subscribed to them myself.

At the bottom of the list of 61, there's a box to click on with options—"daily", "instant", "no e-mail notice" plus some others. I opted to get no e-mails—if I could only do that with spam too.

Not a bad option overall, but I am perplexed how subscription happens since I've never clicked on it myself.

Gene -

You are (by default) automatically subscribed to the thread when you post to it. You can change that under your UserCP, Edit Options, and the box titled Messaging & Notification change the Default Thread Subscription Mode to 1 of 5 different options. To my knowledge, no one else can subscribe you to a thread.

On Edit: You can also "unsubscribe" in your UserCP.

GreatPumpkin & CrawfordGene -- The software glitch that hit us Tuesday night switched a number of members' profile settings. The notifications issue is one of them. It may require resetting your Options, Messaging & Notifications in your User CP as Gene correctly states. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Thanks Bob -

My notifications are right, nothing appears changed on mine. It's just that the "Daily" option had NEVER worked for me prior to last night. Something in the "glitch" fixed (or was it temporary

) the Daily notification.

Pumpkin, you are correct. I went back and reread the e-mail and it's bad grammar that made it appear the person who started the thread was the one who subscribed me to it ("You are subscribed to the thread "Corrosion problems with new Airstreams" by Silvertwinkie").

Both e-mails were for threads started by Twink. I was wondering how he did it, but he didn't do anything. He's innocent.

Should the Moderator be required to go back to grammar class?

Likewise.

This has only occured in the last month or so.

I have never chosen this function.

But I want at least a daily update to the threads I am subscribed to

. I don't always have time to surf the forums, but I can read an e-mail or two.

As long as you subscribe to all the same threads I subscirbe to. I'll send you the list

.

CanoeStream · 02-13-2008, 04:27 PM

Cheers, Dave & Carl -- I just checked and each of you are subscribed at some level. None of you have subscriptions turned off. This PM subscription excess problem began with the big hiccup three weeks ago. I can only suggest turning off your subscriptions (User CP, Edit Options, Do Not Subscribe, Save Changes), then turning it back on. For a fact I don't know if that will solve it. Otherwise the only option is turning it off until the coming upgrade. No date for that. Sorry.

I'd guess you might end up having to rebuild your subscriptions anyway when the upgrade does arrive.

Gene · 02-13-2008, 07:16 PM

Bob,

It appears to be tricky to unsubscribe to e-mail notices. You can unsubscribe in bulk, but anytime I post on a new thread I've never been on before, boom, e-mail notices for that thread. Sometimes it seems ones I've unsubscribed to, once I post again, give me e-mail notices. Not entirely sure because I don't want to spend a lot of time dealing with this and life shouldn't be that difficult, but the e-mail notices feel like spam, something I have no shortage of. I liked life pre-hiccup.

You can change your subscription notice default setting via the UserCP >> Options settings. Here is a direct link:
http://www.airforums.com/forums/prof...do=editoptions

If you don't want email notifications, then select subscribe without email notifications. Your other options are once daily and once weekly or do not subscribe at all.

There were some issues the last couple weeks with the mail server. They have been resolved in the last 24 hours and I just checked and it looks to be functioning properly.

Regards,

Andy

I reset the e-mail notifications again for no e-mail notice.

I wish the default setting wasn't for daily e-mail notice. Everytime I post on a new (to me) thread, I then have to go and reset the notifications options. I would rather opt-in, not opt-out. It seemed to me that even opting out wasn't working for a while. I'll have to watch more closely so I'm sure of what I'm complaining about.

Gene

CanoeStream · 02-14-2008, 10:54 AM

Gene, I just looked at your profile from our side of the house. It said 'Daily Email Notification.' I switched you to 'Do Not Subscribe.' Please post again if it keeps flipping you back on. Thanks

DEITZ645 · 02-16-2008, 08:13 AM

Bob,
I have tried different settings seven ways to Sunday and still NO e-mails. I guess I will just have to love with it until the upgrade.

Gene · 03-31-2008, 11:08 AM

In the last few weeks, no threads I have posted on or started have been in the subscribed list. I thought it was automatic. Has there been another hiccup, or am I just losing it?

Gene, due to previous problems your status is still "Do not subscribe." You may change your forum options in your 'User CP' (control panel) at upper left.

Gene · 03-31-2008, 12:11 PM

Bob, I'm going around in circles on this. I have not found anything giving me a "subscribe" or "do not subscribe" option on the User CP page even after opening all the subscriptions. I set the subscriptions to no e-mails and any thing else I've done in the past couple of days just takes me to the same pages over and over. I guess I've lost it.

I was getting updated new subscriptions and no emails for a while. Can't I get new subscriptions without emails? I'd rather check the subscriptions page without more e-mails to supplement all my junk mail for fake Viagra, penny stocks and organ enhancement.
