Email Notification and subcribing to a thread
This should be wisely used. There is a setting when you registered that enables you to be notified when ANY thread you have posted in gets another reply.
What this means is that when the board gets busy, you could wake up to hundreds of email notifications. How annoying!
You can turn this feature off! When you first registered, it was an option, but you very likely did not even know what it meant. If you are getting an email notification about every thread you have posted in, that can get annoying. Here is what to do:
Click on the user cp button at the top row of menu buttons. Click on edit options. You will see under Meesaging & Notification the option Use 'Email Notification' by Default. Click this to NO.
Now all future threads you post in will not be "subscribed."
How do you UNSUBSCRIBE from the threads you are already subscribed to? Back at the user cp menu, you will see a green bar with Private Messages; one with Subscribed Forums and a third one with Subscribed Threads.
Click on where it says View All Subscribed ThreadsOn the next screen on the right hand side, there is a blue menu selection that says Unsubscribe From All Threads
That will clear all of them. Now if you want, you can subscribe individually to a thread or forum.
If you want to know ANYTIME that someone replies to one thread or an entire forum, that is what you do. That can be handy if you are involved in a debate or something very interesting and you don't want to hit refresh and check for replies. Just subscribe to it and the forum will email you and notify you that someone replied!
