Could someone please look inbto this problem for me? Contacting an admin did not work, and after a "we're looking into it" answer over 6 months ago, never again did I get a reply. First off, I can't turn "Off" the new message ebots from the Vue Forum. Yes, I know how to do so, but the "No" link-thingie is simply not an option. It's not working. So, I get ebots whenever a new message is posted. Maybe it's because I used to be the moderator of the Vue Forum...I don't know, but I'd rather check the Forum rather than get the ebots. Now, that in and of itself I could live with... and have been living with for 6 months...maybe 5 or 6 emails a day reflecting the new posts, but recently Mr. Ebot has developed a seriously bad habit: I get 5 emails for every single new message posted. Yes, 5 for each one. Always 5, never 4 or 6. So, my email inbox floodeth over with annoying and redundant information. So, any chance anyone could look into this and let me know what the problem is? There is nothing I have changed, and it's not on my end. Once again, I know how the On-Off thingie is supposed to work, but it doesn't. Thanks much for your time.

For some reason he was in the database 7 times for this forum rather than 1. Not sure what happened there, but I've deleted all entries for him to receive ebot notifications for that forum. This was the cause of both problems he was experiencing. Let me know if there are any more problems. Thanks. Tommy

Thanks, Tommy. I had 76 emails in my inbox this morning...since last checking on Friday. Seems that most of them were from Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I do appreciate your help, and I'll let you know if the problem comes back. Cheers! Mike

Thank you! now I'm not getting any new post emails at all, and that's the way I wanted it. Much obliged!
