Help! Being bombarded with e-mail notifications
Posted by Deputy on Thursday, May 24, 2018 9:39 AM

I know this might not be the right place for thnis, but I am desperate. I have my subscription settings set to ONLY receive e-mail about Classic Toy Trains. Yet I am receiving all kinds of notifications from every magazine and topic there is. Can someone help me? Please? Surprise

You may have selected "all." Call customer service at 877-243-4903 and unsubscribe to the newsletters you don't wish to receive mail from.

It's not newsletters. It's forum notifications. I am being flooded with this stuff like Spam. Only thing I SHOULD be subscribed to is the Classic Toy Trains form. Instead, I am receiving notification in e-mail of every post made on EVERY forum!!!!

I think I can help. When you are logged in in the forums, you can see your profile photo/name on the right side. In red is the word "settings." Click on that and you'll see a window with a bunch of options with check boxes. UNCHECK these boxes and you won't get notifications anymore.

Well it's still going on this morning. 92 mails. So I completely disabled all e-mail notifications. You would think by now the moderators or site bosses would have this place running right. Stick out tongue

last time they changed the format we all got bombarded with those e-mails. You just gotta get all of them turned off. It took me several days to get them stopped.
