Email Problems

Tobyglen · 2009-08-13 19:57:16

Hey, I keep on getting emails to my account whenever I leave a message in a thread and somebody replies. There was around 20 emails in my a/c. Is there anyway to stop this? I have tried for the last hour but couldn't figure it out. I tried going to settings and deleted my subscriptions but alas it failed. Cheers.

It's because you have auto subscribed to every thread you respond to.
Go to http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/profile.php?do=editoptions and look for "Default Thread Subscription Mode".
Choose "Do not Subscribe"

Go to http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/subscription.php?do=viewsubscription and remove subscriptions there too

at the bottom of the email there is a link saying "to unsubscribe from this thread click here"

Click there.

In your user CP, go to "edit options" and down the page you'll see there's one that controls the default thread subscribtion and whether or not you're auto-subscribed to a thread you reply to. Change it to "do not subscribe".
