    They are being blocked at the moment but we're working on a way around this. We hope to have it fixed shortly.

    How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site

    Not personally, no. The lads have it sorted now anyway, notification emails are back.

    On this topic - can the notification emails be turned off by default when signing up? I shouldn't have to opt out just to avoid getting hundreds of emails from boards every time someone posts on a thread. I can see how Boards might think it helps drive use of the site but it's just a pain to deal with. Every other site I use and online shop where I've bought something insists on spamming me with crap - maybe you could try being a bit different? Less spam makes the world a better place.

    On your profile go to Edit Options then Messaging & Notification.
    Look for Default Thread Subscription Mode and open the drop down selection box,then just select do not follow and hit save changes ;)

    Yeah I get it. My point is that it should be turned off by default.

    That never actually did anything. You still have to click "No Email Notification" every time you follow a thread.

    It works for when you Reply to a thread, but as you say, you still have to select a notification method when you Follow a thread.

    It'd be good to have your default preferred method applied to Follows too, if it can be implemented.
