Under Members/My Account, I set the following to request I receive no notifications by automated email of follow-up contributions to Forum discussion threads:
Receive comment follow-up notification e-mails:
( No notifications )
However, I still receive notifications by automated email of follow-up contributions to Forum discussion threads.
My my question is — how do I stop these follow-up comments from being sent automatically to my email address?twcJune 13, 2014 at 8:56 am #100689rodshawParticipantI have the same problem. I want to stop receiving emails when a new message is posted to the 'Why would membership of the SPGB be refused' topic because it's got really boring and is going round in circles. I get the messages because I made an early contribution to the topic.I've unchecked the box to receive these notifications in my account settings but I'm still getting them.Can they be stopped? Or do I have to post to the topic again and uncheck the notification box at that time?
June 13, 2014 at 3:58 pm #100690PJShannonKeymasterSorry there doesn't at present seem to be an easy way to unsubscribe from individual threads. I've made a mental note to try and add this feature when next working on improvements for the site.
June 13, 2014 at 4:49 pm #100691rodshawParticipantOk thanks – with a bit of luck, the thread in question will be locked soon anyway as one of the mods has commented.
June 13, 2014 at 5:21 pm #100692steve colbornParticipantI find your comment above, very uncomradely. Others do not share your opinion, thankfully!
June 13, 2014 at 6:22 pm #100693AnonymousInactiveIs that the thread with nearly 6000 views lol
June 13, 2014 at 6:36 pm #100694DJPParticipantI don't think it's that funny. What kind of impression has been given to those people who have viewed it?Sometimes I wonder if we'd be better off without a forum, it's not like it draws many new posters in anyhow..
June 13, 2014 at 6:49 pm #100695AnonymousInactiveYou can't be sure of the impression it gives. My own opinion is that ideally EC meetings, Conference etc should be shown primetime TV; show the world what real democracy is!

Do we want the under the carpet methods of Labour, Liberal, Tory, SWP etc? "no"! Long may openness and Democracy reign!!!

I should probably have kept my electronic trap shut.But an unsubscribe or unfollow feature for when you're fed up of getting the notifications for a specific thread would be useful.
June 14, 2014 at 4:13 pm #100700steve colbornParticipantActually rodshaw, I would hate for you to keep your "electronic trap shut". There are others who share your opinion about the thread and why should'nt they/you. Lifes about opinions, more so, if you are involved in a revolutionary movement that's out to change society. So please, keep posting your opinions!
August 24, 2014 at 6:45 pm #100701DJPParticipantThe unsubscribe option in the emails appears to work. Just make sure you are logged into the website before you press the link.
August 25, 2014 at 9:15 am #100702rodshawParticipantOk, thanks.
