"AH but how come the word "Yes" appeared outside the forums - in the forums list - AFTER I had clicked "Yes" INSIDE each of those forums, and now won't go back to reflecting the "No" that I have returned all of those inside each of those forums to?" Please keep in mind that the words "Yes" and "No" on the main forums list (outside) has no relation to the "Email on Post: Yes [No]" that is inside a specific forum. The "Yes" on the main forums list means that there have been new post since the last time you clicked on the "Mark All Read" inside a specific forum. For the outside list to change to "NO", you must click on the "Mark All Read" on the inside. If you are still seeing a "yes" after that, I'd say it's your browser cache and you should force a refresh or reload. The "Email on Post: Yes [No]" when marked "NO" should stop the ebots that have "Renderosity.com posting on Whatever Forum" in the subject line. If you are still getting these, you may need to log out (to end you current session variables) and then log back in. If you've marked "NO" inside a forum, but still see a YES you may need to select the NO again or force a reload/refresh. If you are getting ebots with "Reply to your Post in the Whatever forum", then that is from the Notify/Email me when someone replies checkbox when you've replied in a specific thread in a specific forum. I know that's a little confusing, but I hope it helps! :) Jenifer Keeling Renderosity Admin
