Babuci: HELLO and THANKS for  the INFORMATION! I understand what you are saying.

But WHY would I even GET these email ebot notifications UNLESS I HAD either REPLIED to a thread or STARTED one??? (Until just now, I have NOT posted a REPLY at the PHOTOGRAPHY FORUM since I can remember! LOL).

Are you telling me that I and everyone will NOW get these email ebots on ALL threads and postings UNLESS we go to EACH thread and UNCLICK those?

Even if I have NEVER posted a REPLY in this forum? LOL.?????

Are you saying that merely by READING a thread posting that I and anyone else will then be subject to these email ebot notifications UNLESS we UNCHECK every READ thread?? LOL.

I could undertstand having to UNCHECK the notification IF I posted a REPLY in any given thread so as to NOT get them.

BTW:  It would be LESS ANNOYING as you so put it (GRIN) to have it set to DEFAULT to MAKE people check the threads THEY WANT ebots emails for or from. LOL.

Thanks, again. TallPockets.
