I know ardiva. but since I was getting lots of ebot messages from accidentally not unselecting the email on reply, I blacklisted the ebot addy. an have enjoyed not getting 250 ebots a day, as well as not having to worry about telling the scripts that I don't want to get any ebot messages. so lots of bounced ebots. ( the ebot setting should be in user profile, not in the forum scripting ) then each user can set it for themselves as they want. the forum option to off, and if changed to yes over-ride profile setting for one thread, if switched back to no, then stop sending ebot message on thread. I've enjoyed months of ebot free existance.
