| Posted 5/29/2002 4:34 AM (GMT -6) |   | I don't know about any of you, but I woke up this morning and discovered 20 e-mail notifications from this board! Boy, I definately got the subscription thingy working!
That was too much for me, so here's what I learned on how to cut the amount of e-mails to a smaller number per day.
The board is set-up with subscription levels. It has a hierarchy:
Whole Board
--Category
----Forum
------Topic
That hierarchy is important to understand. So this board was set to allow any member subscribe as high as the forum level and/or the topics found inside that forum.
So yesterday I subscribed to the forum entitled "board related questions or comments..." This forum is located within the category called "welcome to our board discussion."
Anyhow, because I subscribed to an entire forum, I got an e-mail notification that there were new responses posted whenever a member posted something to a topic found withing the forum "board related questions or comments..."
That cause 20 e-mails this morning! So what I did to remedy this, was logged in as JCsites guy, and then I unsubscribed to the forum "board related questions or comments..." by clicking on the unsubscribe button. It looks very similar to the subscribe button only it has red around the pencil eraser. If you hover your mouse over the icon it will tell you if it's the subscribe or unsubscribe button/icon. It looks like: 
Even though I've unsubscribe from the forum, I can still "drill down" to that forum's topics and choose to subscribe to a topic only. Which is what I did. So now I will only receive e-mails on any new posts to that topic, not the entire forum. Much less e-mails!
Hope I explained this well. The idea was to open up notifications to those who might just be reading a topic thread. Before, you had to post something just to get notifications, now you don't. It sure came with a learning curve tho.'
Please direct any questions to adiaphora or this board, I'm only trying to help, but adiaphora is the authority.
