Default Thread Subscription Mode

Mollyb60

Hey folks, is there some reason why I can't set my default subscription to 'no emails' for followed threads? I've cleared cookies, logged in and out, restarted the browser and none of them have made the change stick. It keeps changing back to 'instant emails' which is jamming up my inbox.
Thanks,
Molly

Go here and scroll down and change Default Thread Subscription Mode to none and then scroll to the bottom and save changes. http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/profile.php?do=editoptions

Is that in the 'Edit Options' section? I have done that a number of times and saved the changes. It doesn't seem to be working though coz when I go back in it has changed back to 'Instant notification'. Unless there's somewhere else to change it that I'm missing?

No, there's only that one place. Bear in mind it isn't retroactively applied to any already subscribed threads though.

It doesn't seem to matter whether I change it though, it's still changing back to instant emails regardless. Also is it a thing that if I unfollow a thread and then post in it again the thread gets re-followed?

Someone has suggested changing the email address for the account to a spam email so I'm gonna do that for the time being.
Thanks for your continued help guys!

If your default is set to instant then you will re-subscribe to instant emails by posting in the thread, yes.

I have set it to default 'Follow without notification' so you won't get any more emails from new threads you post in or follow. However you will need to change the subscription on threads you have already followed. You can do that here. Tick the box next to all threads and at the bottom of the page in the drop down menu select 'no email notification'. Thanks Mollyb60.

Thanks Niamh. I'll give it a go.
