how, exactly do notifications work?

[iamnuff]

i have a couple of threads "subscribed to" and i unchecked the "email me" option in my profile.

but i still get emails about notifications sometimes.


also, is your notifications options panel really the only place where you can check your unread posts?

I use this url and my main bookmark for the site. http://questionablequesting.com/index.php?action=unread

recently unread topics?


interesting, but not what i meant.


i mean unread posts to topics i have subscribed to

I will add that to the list, as I don't think it exists.

There is a recent posts link up in the recent topics box, but it doesn't specify your subscribed threads.

I think this may be what he was looking for, or very similar to it.

However, it seems to only work for thread you've replied to. Testing now to see if it works with threads set to notify.

Edit: It does not work with threads you have set to notify. :-\

well, i can check my notified threads the hard way if i have to, but whats bothering me is all these emails i keep getting, despite the fact that i unchecked the "email me" options in the notification panel.


i don't even get one email per update, i just get about half of them, and i have no idea why.

One of the settings is to send you an email once, the first time a topic updates but not any more until you visit the topic again.

As for turning off email notifications completely, that's not an option at present. The only way you could would be to stop using notifications. You can, however, reduce the emails to once a day or once a week.

EDIT: The no email's check isn't for regular notifications. It's for announcements, newsletters, and such.
