Trying one more time. I’m new here. I keep getting email responses to my posts. I went into preferences and checked off “never” for receiving email notifications. I saved that. I keep getting tons of emails when I post. So I quit posting for now because the amount of emails just inundates my inbox and it’s tough to find my actual emails. Can anybody give me a way to stop the madness? Thanks much. Great website!

I’m seeing several different things that can be turned off (i.e. set to “never”):

“Email me when I am sent a personal message”

“Email me when I am quoted, replied to, my @ username is mentioned, or when there is new activity in my watched categories, tags or topics”

“Include previous replies at the bottom of emails”

“When I don’t visit here, send me an email summary of popular topics and replies”

Do you have all of them turned off?

Thanks. That may have worked. I must say this site is not super intuitive to navigate. Lot of buttons and choices. Hopefully I can go forward from here.
