doc_newstead Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 My e-mail inbox is being spammed with notifications to 'Arnies Airsoft' threads that I have apparently subscribed to. I haven't actively clicked anything, and neither do i want to subscribe to these threads. Why is this happening? Have I clicked something by accident perhaps? I go into 'My Controls' and delete these threads, but every new thread I post in comes up as a 'subscribed thread', and sends out e-mails as appropriate. How do I make it stop?! I'm up to 1000 posts and this seems to have happened out of the blue, literally today I recall filtering Arnie's from my inbox before because of this problem; I would have put it down to ignorance, were it not for the 'out of the blue' nature of the problem.

DarkLite Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Me too, I just got 342 emails from Arnies detailing every person who posts in any thread I have seen! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Connery Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 I'm having the same problem. Good thing I don't post too often, and usually only in the Non-Airsoft Discussion area. But it is quite annoying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Yeah, having the same problem. Can it get sorted out fairly soon, only I don't want to turn a spam filter on. Might lose all those lovely offers from Nigeria Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Antagon Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 I think my Gmail exploded... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shao14 Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Haha, same here. I think now whenever you reply in a thread, you automatically subscripted to it. and you'll have to manually unsubsribe if you choose. But no way gmail's going to explode. The storage space is above 2GB now and still growing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doc_newstead Posted April 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Well why has this started happening, and how can I stop it automatically subscribing? It just seems a bit random. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nmcabecadas Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Check your control pannel and what subscriptions do you have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joeking27 Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Temporary fix for me was setting it to no email notification, but Im still subscribing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Ah... almost certain the problem is that the "email notification of replies" is automatically toggled on the quick reply box. (see bottom of this thread) I stuck it on as a new option (on by default) and thought most people would have noticed the additional option there. It was setup so that either you can uncheck it yourself before you click send, or you can review your subscriptions on your own CP. I've set the default to -off for the moment, but I can set it back to on in the future. I think there's a way to auto-set the option based on your CP prefs like the normal reply.. I will look into that now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Update: Okay tweaked things now and fixed a bug in the code. The "Enable email notification" toggle is ON int he quick reply box ONLY if you have topic subscription enabled in your UserCP. Also.. the options for how you want to receive notification are there in your CP too. If you only one one email per day from the boards, immediate notification, delayed or whatever it's there for you to set, plus when you select it the correct option is displayed in your email settings form (previously it kept showing the default).

Arnie Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Man.. you yanks there's no pleasing ya. I mean if I was popping over there to your neck of the woods, like west coast CA or something then I could turn up and slap you with a wet trout. Hmm speaking of which (/me trundles off to send a PM) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shao14 Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 (edited) Hehe, is there an update of the server or software sometime the other day? Because before, by default, the "Enable email notification of replies" had always been unchecked, so I have never noticed that feature before. It could've been my mistakenly clicked the box sometime that day, but what are the chances that quite a few of us all accidentally clicked that box on the same day? Now everything seems to be normal again, and that box is unchecked by default. Edited April 7, 2005 by Shao14 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HaVoC Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Thank god that's fixed! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
