Email notifications being sent when option is deselected.

[Sacrosanct]

As the title says. I went and made sure the check box was unselected for email notifications, but I’m still getting emails half of the time when someone makes a comment on a thread I’ve commented on. Only half the time though. It’s odd.

There are (at least) two different places where you can choose to get email notifications for threads. One is in your account preferences https://www.enworld.org/account/preferences and the other is your list of watched threads https://www.enworld.org/watched/threads.

I have email notifications enabled in Preferences and disabled in Watched Threads, and I am getting emails. I'll disable them in Preferences too and see if I stop getting them.

...or maybe I misunderstood how it works. It seems that on the Watched Threads page, the checkbox with "Email" next to it is not an indicator, it's a selection checkbox.

Let me see what happens now...

Well, it's still unclear to me exactly how it works, but I know how to turn emails off.

To not get email notifications, first go to your Preferences and turn off two checkboxes labeled "and receive email notifications", and click "Save".
Then go to Watched Threads, go to the bottom of the page, click "Select all", select "Disable email notifications" in the dropdown, and click "Go".
