"New message notification"
Posted by Brownroach on 09-29-04 at 10:02 AM
I must have accidentally checked the box that says "check here if you want to be notified of new messages in this thread" when making a post on Spoilers, as I am getting email messages now every time someone posts to the thread.

Is there a way to deactivate this? I tried editing on my posts to uncheck the box, but the box shows up unchecked when I open the post, so I've no idea how to turn it off.

Thanks,
Brownroach

Thanks so much for your assistance.


It would seem so. Well hopefully it will be a dead thread soon.

Sorry, roach-

There is, unfortunately, no way to turn off the new message notification. The good news is that most threads die after a week or two, so the e-mail deluge should stop on it's own soon enough.

As an aside, one of the first ever "monster threads" here on this board went to over 1000 posts in a single thread. One of the board members had checked the new message notification box!

The barrage of e-mails not only filled up that member's inbox, but nearly brought our e-mail server to its knees (of course that was years ago, before we had the great high-speed servers that we have now!)

I guess the moral of the message is... it could be a lot worse

Thanks, eee -- yes it could be worse -- I'm glad I didn't have this accident in a thread on the OT board.
