disabling "New LinkBack to post" mails?

Thagdal · Jan 21, 2012

Hopefully right place to ask.

I am most likely blind, but how do I disable the emailed notifications for New LinkBack to post?

I don't really care who links to enworld posts that I'm reading. I can't find it under Messaging & Notification in options.

I'm sorry. I have no idea what you're referring to. Can you clarify?

Sure, no problems.

I posted in the thread about 1st edition reprints.
I got an email notifying about a new link back from Enworld. Not about a reply, but because someone used the linkback function I guess.

Screen shots:
Mail header - Different from message about new post in a thread.

It looks like unsubscribing from the thread would stop the notification, but I'd would prefer being able to see new replies without getting info about linkbacks.

I hope that makes more sense.

Wow. Even I don't get them. You must be on some uber-admin setting, somehow!

I'll take a look when I get a minute.

Thanks, no rush

i get the Link Back notifications as well. I've been tending to mute the conversation in Gmail so I don't see them anymore. A lot of these are threads I don't want to unsubscribe from (which the message at the bottom of the email seems to indicate would stop the Link Back notifications as well) as I am interested in new comments.
