eMail Settings?
My email settings are set up ONLY to notify me when someone comments on one of my tasting notes. However, I currently have over 1600 emails from Steepster…HELP! I am getting notifications on every thread I have ever commented on and then some…can anyone help?
Honestly part of the problem is that I have been sickly for awhile and not bothering with email even when I am online…
so this ridiculous amount of email is probably since Christmas. :~(
Hope you feel better CelebriTEA.
When you comment on a thread it auto subscribes you to the topic and you get email notifications. You have to manually unsubscribe from every topic that you don’t want to receive emails from. Click on the blue bell icon in the upper right had side of the screen.
Hope hat helps.
Thank you…
Now I will have to watch for another email and unsubscribe to the threads…lol…
just spent the last 45 minute deleting emails… :-/
If you use gmail, you can filter certain keywords/senders straight to trash without reading them. So things marked ‘New Reply’ from Steepster get marked read and go straight to trash for me.
Unsubscribing would probably make sense to, but I’m all about efficiency.
I would much prefer an “opt in” for emails on new posts in threads, but I just try to remember to unsubscribe in each topic.
There is a small box at the bottom of the twxtbox where you can opt in or out of updates for new topics. Unfortunately I usually forget about it as it is so small and it defaults for automatic updates.
I got so frustrated that I wound up setting my email spam filter to block steepster. It was right after a software drop and I thought it was a bug, but in fact I had just commented on the bug fix thread and was getting a hundred emails a day.
This is not recommended. It turns out that my email provider also notified steepster and I can’t turn it back on.
