I am still getting an email when someone posts in a thread. I don't want the email notifications.
Jcat - this simply doesn't work. I've unchecked everything, and am still getting emails.
@anne - this is clearly a bug.
Could you please try adjusting the settings on "Browsing Preferences" and clicking "Save Changes" a second time? It didn't "take" the first time I tried it, but it seems to be working now.I am glad I am not the only one. I have even switched to unwatched on the threads and I am still getting emails.
Is there a way to select both New Threads and New Messages? Option is only select one but not both...............You can also change the notification settings for an entire forum by clicking on Watch Forum at the top right:

There should be a single option for, "do not receive any emails from TCS," and that should be the default. As to subscribing to separate threads or forums, that should be likewise. Users shouldn't have to, "unsubscribe," every time they post; that's sheer madness.Is there a way to select both New Threads and New Messages? Option is only select one but not both.
I think it'll be good to be able to select both so that the alert will be for both instead of just one and will be missing either one since we are watching the thread.
So if New Thread is selected, we won't be alerted for New Messages and vice versa. Am I right to say that?
I'm a little confused over this option of selection.
Yes, a single option for "do not receive any emails" would be good but it is also good to have the option to either select either one or both New Thread or Messages and get notified via alert.There should be a single option for, "do not receive any emails from TCS," and that should be the default.

I think if you chose new messages you get everything, threads and messages. I honestly don't want to try it though because I don't want to get flooded with emails.Is there a way to select both New Threads and New Messages? Option is only select one but not both.

That's the way it seems to work.I think if you chose new messages you get everything, threads and messages. I honestly don't want to try it though because I don't want to get flooded with emails.
Isn't that covered when you untoggle "Automatically watch threads that you create or when you reply" under "Browser Preferences"? And click "Save Changes"? It works for me and the test account I used.Users shouldn't have to, "unsubscribe," every time they post; that's sheer madness.
jcat - there are four different places in which "receive site emails" is initially the default: under "Contact Details," "Privacy," "Messaging Preferences," and "Alert Preferences." If the box is checked in just one of the four areas, emails are sent to your registered email address.That's the way it seems to work.

That's good to know! I don't recall looking at all of them.jcat - there are four different places in which "receive site emails" is initially the default: under "Contact Details," "Privacy," "Messaging Preferences," and "Alert Preferences." If the box is checked in just one of the four areas, emails are sent to your registered email address.
There are several seemingly redundant options in these area, which is probably leading to a lot of the confusion. Also, the previous platform had a tendency to send out notifications for everything, where the current platform does not.jcat - there are four different places in which "receive site emails" is initially the default: under "Contact Details," "Privacy," "Messaging Preferences," and "Alert Preferences."

That explanation should be made here (it just was, in fact, in the preceding paragraph), because it's simply not intuitive to hunt around for the same switches in several different places.
With all four set to "no mail" my email seems now devoid of new messages from TCS, having found the last switch only a short time ago.
