stop getting emails

Qualitymark · 2014-06-07 19:33:47

I've set my settings to "No emails", but they're still coming! How do I stop getting these notifications any time someone posts on a thread I'm following?

Did you unsubscribe from the pre-existing threads?

No, I'm still subscribed, but prefer to come and check here, rather than getting emails every time someone answers!

Then you'll need to change the subscription method on the pre-existing threads to stop receiving emails for those.

To change them all quickly (or at least 20 at a time):
go to http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/subscription.php?do=viewsubscription

use the checkboxes to check all on that page

use the drop-down at the bottom of the page "Move to folder..." and select "No email notification"

Tried that, but it just comes back at me with "no selected threads". I can't see a way to select all the threads…?

Oh, wait, found it - was on the right rather than the left! Thanks, hope that works now.

Later, seems to be working. Thanks very much for your help, 280 and Spear.
