Lambeaus · 04-19-2006, 12:38 PM

Holy cow!! 62 emails in one day!!!

How do I make it stop sending me an email every time someone replies to one of my posts!?

Feel free to lock and delete this when question is answered, thanks

under My Settings -> Edit Options -> turn subscriptions to "Do not subscribe"

Lambeaus · 04-19-2006, 12:41 PM

thanks a bunch!

On the same control panel there's a dropdown that lets you select one email per post, one email per day, one email per week, or no email notification.

Jei · 04-19-2006, 12:46 PM

My Settings (on top of page) > edit Options.
Default Thread Subscription Mode - set to "no email notification"

then My Setting > Subscribed Thread.
take off all the check marks to the right

also, I don't see in the forum rules why I can't put a picture sig in. I figure there is a post count restrictiion or something, but I'm not sure.

Taskmage · 04-19-2006, 12:48 PM

No reason you can't. It just has to be hosted somewhere. Once you get it up on photobucket or something, just use the [IMG] tag in your sig. Do try to keep it under 25k, though.

lol, ok, it did it for that post but none of my others :S

Taskmage · 04-19-2006, 12:54 PM

Yeah, if you don't have a sig set, then when you make your post the "Show your signature" box won't be checked, so those posts will never reflect changes in your sig.

Lambeaus · 04-19-2006, 12:59 PM

there we go, thanks

unfortunately, as you can see, I don't really have the tools to make a nice looking sig and avatar the way you do, so I'm stuck with these cropped screen shots

Double Post Edited:
and I'd like to use the sig from THIS site, but no matter what user name I pick, it says it has already been activated :S

neighbortaru · 04-19-2006, 01:01 PM

well, just pick another username ^^

with some 2000+ accounts (last i checked), the common ones are bound to be used up.

btw, you do know that the sigs from vanaguide are PC only right?

I would just select names such as "oanfaowinkdlfweofndk" and it still wouldn't work.

PC only!!!! meh to that! never mind then!

Taskmage · 04-19-2006, 01:07 PM

Yeah, the vanaguide sig program works by reading your character information from your PC memory when you play.

They've been having server trouble recently, I believe, so that may be why it's not accepting new accounts.

Darn only 62 Emails in one day. I get 1,000 in a day from all the damn Junk mail...

If I don't clear it out of the mail server at least 1 time every 8 hrs my mailbox ends up hitting it's max. Such a pain in the butt, I should hunt down their IPs and report abuse on them I'm just to lazy to spend that time
