I'm getting notifications about threads I "subscribed" to, even though all I did was post in 'em.  I always uncheck the "Notify me when someone replies" option, too.

This has only recently started happening and nothing in my account settings has changed, so I'm hoping it's an error or oversight that can be fixed.

While I'm at it, any news on that "Wanna get our emails?" popup that seems to come round time and again?  I am signed up for emails, there have been several posts about the popup but so far... crickets.

Heloo-oo!  Anybody there?

Maybe I should get a ouija board.

Sam, the team is working hard to divine an answer for you. As soon as we get a connection to the other side, I'm sure Admin will send a sign. Please be patient.

Hehe.  Nicely done.  

Thing is, the team seem to move like lightning when it comes to locking/moving/deleting threads but when it comes to answering a question... crickets.  Nobody has, as yet, given any kind of an answer to the "Wanna get our emails" popup, and that's been going on for months.  Even a simple, "That's the way it is, so naff off" would be better than complete radio silence.

Sam, I understand your frustration. I've left a note for Admin to visit this thread.

Wellll...

Over a week later and still nothing.

Sure, it's a trivial matter but it'd be nice to think someone could at least stop by.  As for the Subscription notifications, I *think* it only happens to me if I start a thread, not if I reply to it.  Even so, since I don't want notifications - and why do I have to select that option every flippin' time? - I shouldn't get any, ever.

The "Wanna get our emails?" thing keeps appearing at random intervals.  First, I do get emails; I signed up for 'em ages ago.  Second, the wording, as I have said before, is silly and unprofessional.  If you're going to make us see this message every few days, at least use something approaching proper language and lose the "wanna".

And here's me not getting notifications for threads that I am subscribed to. You can send me some of yours if you like, Sam. :)

Well, I started a thread about Bella's nether regions if you want to take a look at that one.  :D

Don't hold your breath about notifications, though; BB's been waiting for it to work since forever.

I posted a thorough analysis of the problem in June 2015, and it had been going on for some time prior to that. Every other forum on the Internet has got the hang of notifications...

I just visited another thread I'd posted in and I see I've been mysteriously unsubscribed from it, which may be what's going on in your case?

And now I've been unsubscribed from this thread even though I ticked the 'notify me' box when I replied - I was subscribed when I arrived.

(I should explain that I'm deducing my subscription status according to the button at the top of the thread: if it says 'subscribe' I assume I'm not currently subscribed, and vice versa. My reasoning could be as faulty as the forum code, of course.)

I've pretty much given up hope of the "Wanna Get Emails" thing ever getting fixed. Oh, well.....

Me too, Rod.  Got another one this morning.  

Regarding the notifications thing...

I'm getting notifications about another thread in the Poser forum - the one started by rokket - "It's been awhile" (sic).

I didn't subscribe to it, I always uncheck "Notify me" but I'm getting a lot of emails about it.  Oh well.

One last time.... Can we PLEASE get rid of that #%^&%^& "Wanna Get Emails?" thing? It is annoying as hell. Please. 😫

Sam, what seems to be happening for me is that when I answer a thread, I become unsubscribed from it even though I've checked the 'notify me' box. Maybe the logic of that box has become reversed? I'm going to try unchecking the box for this reply (I habitually leave it checked) and see what happens.

Edit:

Yes, that did the trick. If I check the box, it unsubscribes me; if I clear it (as you do) it subscribes me. Good grief.

There's your workaround, anyway; tell the forum to do the opposite of what you actually want.

Well, I guess as we've all noticed over the years, this place is weirder than a bag of very weird things.

Hi, all. Yesterday we fixed some issues with forum notifications:

 -  The "Notify me when someone replies" checkbox under the comment box was always checked despite what your preference was for that thread (makes it easy to accidentally subscribe). Sam, I think this could have contributed to your unwanted notifications? It should now be checked/unchecked based on your notification preference for that thread. 

 -  Before, whenever the checkbox (mentioned above) was checked, it would toggle your subscription preference. So if you were already subscribed it would unsubscribe, and if you were already subscribed it would subscribe you--at least this is what I observed while trying to find the bugs. Bob, I think this might have been what you were seeing? That should be fixed now.

Please post here if the issues persist. I usually don't check the forums since my job is programming, but I'll keep an eye on this thread for more issues.

Laura: notifications do seem to be behaving properly now, going by what I've seen from a conversation I'm having in another thread. Thanks for taking a break from the coalface to report back!

Awesome, glad to hear that it's all working out. Happy to help! :)

Thank you.  I haven't had any unwanted notifications for a bit now.
