I have tried everything I can think of to stop receiving emails from any forum thread that I have posted in. It is getting really annoying. Can anyone help me please?

    Yes. Go into your profile, and edit. Most of the way down the page there is an email notification section. Uncheck the forum box.

    I have done it in the past but it doesn't seem to work. Just tried again (about the 5th time I have) and will see if it works now.

    I've had the same problem -- I can't unsubscribe from the threads I've posted in nor stop automatically subscribing to threads. Every time I try to uncheck the options, they recheck themselves.

    And I received your comment by email savannah even after unclicking everything. Anyone else got any help?

    Can anyone help Jaymes? He has had this problem since November, and all my suggestions of fixes have failed.

    I take it you guys unchecked all the boxes under "Notification" on the left side after you click "Account" up atthe top of the forums?

    Yep. They're re-checked as soon as I leave the page.

    This is actually why I've not been on here as much as I was at one point -- it's that annoying to wade through the spam (and it's not like I can block Obsidian Portal's emails; there's important stuff in a decent proportion of them).

    Yep Savannah. I completely agree with the sentiment. I want to post stuff all over the place then realize that is just one more forum I am going to get emails from so I have tried to limit myself to things I am truly interested in.

    Did you click the update button below the checkboxes after you did it? I just tested it and it worked on mine.

    Update button? It specifically says it does not have an submit button and does it automatically. If you are referring to the part on the OP profile account then yes that one is unselected and stays unselected. The problem lays in the forum account settings.

    To be clear, we're not talking about the ascendent-feature forums on our campaigns, we're talking about this forum right here. The options in my OP profile page seem to apply to the former, while the options on here apply (or rather don't apply) to this forum and don't have any sort of update button.

    Thanks DreadGazebo! I was just getting to this point as well; I want to be able to check my email without it being a duplicate of my OP mail again

    Since Beaumains resurrected this a bit I would just like to point out that it is still NOT fixed....although it is only a minor irritant

    Does this work properly for anyone? I too hate this forum auto-subscribing me to every thread (I don't want to be subscribed to _any_ thread), and as far as I can tell it's impossible to tell the forums to stop doing so. Just like Jaymes, I try to turn off the option in my account settings, but it doesn't do anything. I've even tried with multiple browsers (Firefox and IE), and it still doesn't work.

    Does it work for _anyone_, or is OP spamming everyone's e-mails with this stuff?

    Maybe the issue is the lack of an update button? I know it says that it's applied when you click the boxes and no update button is necessary, but the fact that it doesn't work seems to be a testament to it not working as expected.
