Closed Help! Getting tons of emails all of a sudden!

Starting last night I am all of a sudden getting tons of emails. Apparently my settings got changed and now I am subscribed to a few posts (after I had replied to them I become autosubscribed for email alerts when others reply). Not sure how this happened as I never go into my settings. Now I think I have the settings all fixed but I am still getting a few emails from a couple different posts. How do I unsubscribe or whatever to these posts so I can stop getting the email alerts? Thanks!
 
Good to know I am not the only one!

If you open the email there is a button to "unwatch thread" or something like that.
Click on it and you're good to go.

yep....click on down arrow next to your name and click preferences....
PS check your security settings as well, you might be supprised what the public can see about you without you realizing it :)
Just a thought :)

only problem here is you stop getting alerts this way....
You can address this in preferences and get your alerts but no e-mails

Why do I need an alert that someone replied in a thread when I use the What's New feature? I don't understand how this changed in my settings on me...

I guess your good then....I just use the alerts to see if any thread I have participated in is active since my last post...
But if you dont need that then I would say you could "un-watch" the thread and your good!

wow....wrong twice in one day....lol :p
I was just taking your word that it works Dama!

I had the same issue which was resolved by unchecking the "and recieve e-mail notifications of replies" option below the watch check box.

not sure what to tell you:(
 
Too bad I deleted most of the emails already.... I did have one come through which I was able to unfollow that thread. Thanks for all the help! I am so not a techie person!

Is not your fault so don't worry.
 
Yea, yea, yea, that was me. I can change it back, but I need to reevaluate. We are prepping the site for the new modules. Stay tuned.

I knew it!! :)
 
Thought I was going to get shot by the wife, using her email address for the site, not sure how that happened;). She has been getting bombarded by emails, oops. I got the evil eye when I walked into the house and I didn't even know why.

Just got a few more e-mails overnight.....looks like my solution is only partial!
 
uhh yeah I just got an email about a reply to a watched thread. That hasn't happened since the forum software switch/update/site change/whatever it was awhile back. Looked and sure enough, email notification of watched threads was turned on. So I turned it back off.

So how did it get turned on?
