    Go here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/profile.php?do=editoptions

    Scroll down to: Default Thread Subscription Mode

    From the drop down select: No email notification.

    Bottom of the page; Save Changes.

    Hmmm. I did all that and I'm STILL getting e-mails when there's new replies to subscribed threads. Any ideas?

    You'll need to remove the suscription from each thread now. That change will only apply to newly subscribed threads.

    Go here and click the tick box on the right hand side of the threads you would like to remove the email notifications from. Scroll to the bottom of the page and in the drop-down select no email notification and select 'go'.

    Thank you. But I think you should leave them off when new people register by adjusting something in the newbies section of the admin CP ;)

    I don't have access to the Admin control panel. I did think they were off by default anyway...

    I'll ask if this can be moved to development...

    They've been turned on by default for years; it's there to help newbies find threads they've posted in (since Boards.ie is a bit of a labyrinth).

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
