Email Notifications

[wingspar]

Why am I getting an email notification from a thread I am watching for every single post that is made? It clutters up my email. I must have received over 50 notifications today for 2 threads that I am watching. I only need 2 notifications, not 50 plus!

I belong to other forums that use this software and have never had this problem before. This forum uses preferences that none of the other forums use. I thought I had everything unchecked that I didn't want, but looked a little more carefully and unchecked the one that I pasted below, and it seems to be working. Thanks for the help. It got me to look at those settings a little closer.

Always email watched thread notifications
By default you will receive one notification email when a member replies to a thread you are watching. This option allows you to receive a notification email for each reply to a watched thread. Use with caution, as this may result in a large number of emails.

I figured it out last night and that's the one I unchecked. I just wanted to give it some time to see if that fixed it and it did. That setting is one I've never seen in any other forum and I just didn't read it carefully when I set that up.
