Asking this here will probably get the fastest answer so I can tell members who've asked me. You know how when you Post or Reply, that check box for notifications is by default checked ("yes") for "Notify me if anyone replies to this Thread" ? Well, sometimes people forget to uncheck it... Or, they don't want to hear anything more on the topic (like 6 months after they last replied).... So how do you STOP those THREAD update notifications? As an experiment, I left one checked... It is not under Board Favorites or Notifications to stop it, so where is it? Is there a place to "stop notifying me of thread replies" ? Or, even "Quit bothering me?" LOLOL Inquiring members (and this Admin) want to know! Judy

Since that particular checkbox is per post I don't think you can change it at all unless you have the post deleted from the archives. ----- Original Message ----- From: "J.A.

There are no board archives [only the lists have archives] and she was talking about the board notifications. You can unsubscribe from those but not from the replies that come in on a message you added to a thread on a board. Those are not the same as notifications/alerts.

There is no way for a user to uncheck that box once it's submitted. You could probably ask the help desk to uncheck it. J. Asche On Mon, Apr 27, 2009 at 9:09 AM, J.A.
