Turn off email notifications on watched threads?

[Paul B.]

I don't see any preferences for turning off email notifications when a new post is placed on a watched thread. I prefer Alerts to clogging my email. I see the check box [] Receive email notif..... at the bottom of the advanced composition window, but there used to be a way to turn this off at a higher level.

thanks.

You can also disable all by clicking preferences

Then make sure all the highlighted boxes are unticked and click save

Thanks guys. Somehow I missed that obvious setting under Preferences. What threw me is that I had unchecked emailing there months ago, yet got an email for a thread I posted to yesterday. It seems somehow the [ ] email box under the advanced composition window had become checked.

edit: and conversely, I saw no Alerts for the two replies to this thread. Usually they work well.

Check Alert Preferences to make sure what you want Alerts for are ticked

I did. Nothing was changed.

Are you asking on how to turn off email notifications for everything, except site mailing, password reset and conversations?

I think I'm merely reporting a bug. I hadn't received notifications for thread updates for several months, and had changed nothing. It hasn't acted up since, so I gather whatever it is is passed. Thanks.
