Default Re: E-mail notifications

Okay, here's the deal. The Defaut Thread Subscription Mode will only work from that point on (after you change the setting and beyond). However, the threads you have previously posted in (your 'subscribed threads') may still have the old settings so you will have to manually change these settings. Here's what you need to do:

-Find 'Quick Links' in the blue banner at the upper R
-Click it and select 'Subscribed Threads'
-Once there, you will see a list of your subscribed threads and the email notification settings for each. You want them all to say 'none'....otherwise you will continue to receive email updates for those threads. All the threads that do not have 'none' listed under the notification column are the ones giving you problems...and email updates will be sent when new posts are made.
-The easiest way to select a large group of them to change (rather than selecting every single one via the boxes on the R) is to click the first box at the top R above all the little boxes (directly to the R of 'notification' in the bar at the top). This will select all the threads for that page of subscriptions.
-Scroll down and find the drop-down beside where it says 'Selected Threads' and click 'No Email Notifications'
-Click 'Go'

This will change the settings for all the threads on that page to 'no email notifications.' Unfortunately, you will probably have to do this on every page of your subscribed threads. You have a lot of posts, so you probably have a lot of them...therefore, this may be a somewhat tedious process of click click select click....but that will remove all the email notifications for these threads.

Hope that helps. I'm sure this process isn't very much fun, but I have done it before....and once it's done (and you have the default setting changed as you do now) then you won't ever have to do it again.
