All of a sudden I have been getting emails every time I post to my forum. It's a lot of emails...I have looked every where - it's not a "watched" topic - I don't have anything checked that I can find that turned this on. Anyone? Help?

Hi Stoney, Did you check under "my preferences"? make sure the box next to "Always notify by e-mail when replies posted to topics you participated in" is unchecked also, make sure nothing is checked under "watched forums" If youd like for Jim to take a look, he will need temporary access to your board Di

I had the same problem Di but when I covered the two items you mention they stopped straight away so I know that works.

One other possibility: If an admin registers a member, and uses his own e-mail addy, then he would have to remember to change the e-mail address, or the preferences for that user. Otherwise that user account will send the e-mails. I'd assume that most admins would never run into this problem, but on my boards I deal with a lot of members who are completely new to the Internet, and have to manually register a few.

You raise a good point Buster. I'm amazed at the number of people who register and don't know the basics of posting because they never used a forum before. Because I send a message telling new members that they must make a post or be deleted, lots of them send me a panic email asking how to post. I know it sounds incredible but it's true. To save me the bother of having to send the same reply to them all, yesterday I put up a basic help page (in addition to the more advanced one I already have) and I put the link into the initial message that new members recieve. Here is the page; http://www.goldwingfacts.com/forumnewbieshelp.htm Just basic stuff, but it should get the message across.

That's a great idea. A real guide for those new to message boards.

Wingman--thats some great stuff. Can I borrow that?? Maybe change it to Kawasaki Green??? (just kidding) Thats a great idea. I run fishing related boards, and many of our members are logging online for the first time just to find out what the boards are about. I actually consider that to be something of a compliment, and go out of my way to help. You have a great idea there. Anywho--sorry for hijacking the thread. I do have a problem with unwanted e-mails because I register people who----can't seem to do it themselves. Most never post, but they read, and spread the word to others. t
