thanks! but do you think we dont know that aready??.....

You sure you looked in all the threads and stuff because i have never noticed this bug before and there is many things i have helped with in my post above.

I had already done what you suggested above, but it hasnt worked. The difference as well is that the emails are going to a different email address to the one on my profile.

by bootcoot Thu 27 Mar - 23:49

i have them both unticked and i am still getting many emails!

how about all the threads you have posted in? and topics?

by bootcoot Thu 27 Mar - 23:53

its mostly topics that i havent posted in!!

by juliegrowcott Thu 27 Mar - 23:57

me too, I havnt posted in any of the topics, nor have I even looked at them, it must be a bug in the system, as why are we all suddenly getting these email notifications.

by Uber Lord Thu 27 Mar - 23:58

Uber, just a hint....if several people come in with the same problem at the same time, it usually means it is a glitch or technical difficulty.

Moving to Techs

Please be patient while the Techs take a look into this. It might take awhile, depending on the status of the other problems they are working on as well. We're sorry you are going thru these problems.

The tech most generally will not reply once this is moved in their section unless they have a question or until it is fixed. Wink
