Alan de Enfield Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 From logging on this morning I have received a number of emails, it appears that when anyone reads my posts, comments on my posts, sends me a message, or even has a cup-of-tea I get sent an email telling me all about it - I already get a 'white on black' message band across my screen AND a red number at the top on the 'toolbar' so adding emails seems to be excessive. I have checked into my 'settings', and overnight EVERY email option in 'notifications' has been activated (they were previously de-activated) Who ? What ? Why? When ? I have de-activated everything again but wonder if there is an explanation ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty40s Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 I woke this morning to find 7 notifications showing, and thought I must have posted something amazing in my sleep. No, nothing. Even this question by Alan was showing as me having an interest, which I didn't until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution RichM Posted August 13, 2017 Solution Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 There was a problem whereby "Notify me of replies" wasn't enabling automatically when set to do so. To fix this, I had to reset the notifications functionality late last night which is the likely cause of your issue. You shouldn't have to do it again though.

MtB Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 How disappointing. I'm not getting ANY of all that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan de Enfield Posted August 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 It is getting worse - I am now getting notification every time Matty posts (even tho I not reading or involved in the thread he is posting in) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a look, I think it's because you're following him. To fix: - Click here - Disable notification options for "Someone I am following makes a post" This should stop it from happening.

Why would it suddenly start 'following' Matty (I didn't set it to follow anyone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerra Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 I have found that there are somethings I can't turn off, for example under "Profile" if I try to turn off "Someone follows me" it just slides back to a green tick. What am I doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point was however that it was sliding back before I could hit save. A few of them were doing that. Slide to change the tick to a cross and it just slide back as you let go of the mouse.

Rob-M Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 It seems that auto notify of replies is now on by default, when I post this is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hudds Lad Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 This has caused me endless fun this morning as I hadn't checked my email this weekend, had a shedload of notifications. Checked preferences and thought that it was sorted until another three popped up, had to go find the post and stop following it, luckily I'm not such a prolific poster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the site is not optimised for or designed for IE so may be problematic if you're using that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
