Title: Email Notifications (PM's, Subscribed Topics) and how to turn them off
Post by: retired on June 29, 2016, 10:54:14 AM
Email Notification should now be working 100%.

The formatting problem we had going on should now be solved.
Emails are now sent out in HTML format with pictures and links etc.

To Disabled Notifications for threads:
I Recommend CHECKING
Code: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
"When sending notification of a reply to a topic, send the post in the email (but please don't reply to these emails"
This way you can read the reply right from your email and save precious seconds for time sensitive topics (eg, when tickets go live, etc)

Received two e-mails and they look as a print of the e-mail source code (headers and body)

Click on Profile on the top menu
Then hover over "Modify Profile" and select "Notifications"


You can see all the threads you have set to notify you, and disable them

Also, uncheck the first option: "Turn notification on when you post or reply to a topic."

It enabled itself on my account somehow a couple week ago.

The email notifications were fixed (it was a major long-term issue that jopari was working on for a while, and the issue predated the move to the new server).  Anyways, because it was fixed, notifications became active again for accounts that didn't have it disabled. 

(If you had previously disabled email notifications on your forum account a long time ago--for when you post or reply to a topic--you wouldn't have recently gotten several email notifications at once after everything was fixed.)

^__^; Hope that clarifies things.

I believe I have resolved the formatting problem for the notification emails.

Please let me know if any new emails from the forum have any formatting issues.
