“Default thread subscription mode.”  
If the Mods want you, they will find you. 😉

I can’t claim credit, it was apparently another new server issue. So far so good going forward. Thanks to Jerry and the people at DesertNet for taking care of business.

For about nine months or so I received no email notifications. Now, all of a sudden, it works again. Go figure.

Still can’t turn it off. I want to subscribe to certain threads, but not get e-mails.

If I go to the default and click “no e-mails”, then it automatically subscribes to any thread I post to. I don’t want that.

Is there a way to turn off e-mails for threads i’ve subscribed to on an individual basis?

There does seem to be a major email-related glitch here. No news yet, sorry to say.

On a positive note, since there are no confirmation emails, no spammers.
