Upon checking my email after getting up this morning, I found a deluge of "so-and-so has posted to the Poser forum" emails, and after checking my forum options found the "Notify" box for that forum had managed to get itself checked between the time I went to bed and the time I got up.

I know I didn't check it, as I don't go into forum options often, which means something else has checked that option, something I'd never do (15+ Wishlist sale notifications every 2 weeks is enough thank you).

Anyone have any idea how that box might have gotten checked without me doing it?

Hi modus,

I have no idea as it wouldn't be anything the system did automatically. Sorry

Then it was either someone else logging on to my account, and only changing that one thing, or something else completely unrelated to either a human's actions or the software's actions.

Act of God maybe?
