Hi All

I've recently started getting emails notifying me of responses to forum posts I've never read or posted in. I can unsubscribe to each, but then a new topic starts.

Can anyone help me stop these emails?

Cheers

Charlie

You sound like you have subscribed to a forum, not a topic.

The email should tell you the details, ie "Geekzone new discussion: Packet loss chch since the 24th of Oct"

and at the bottom of the email there is an unsubscribe link. or go to the forum, and click the "stop watch forum" button at the top right hand side

If its a topic, there is also an unsubscribe link in the email.

As above. Got to a sub-forum and you will see two buttons:

Auto Watch: automatically subscribe to new topics.

Watch Forum: receive an email when a new topic is created.

Now go to the sub-forum you are receiving email click the appropriate Stop button, for example:

Referral links: Quic Broadband (free setup code: R587125ERQ6VE) | Samsung | AliExpress | Wise | Sharesies

Thanks guys

That seems to have done the trick. I’ll blame big fingers & small screens for pressing the wrong button, and old age & failing eyesight for the difficulty finding the right place to turn it off.
