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.

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

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.

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!!!!

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.

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
