    PLEASE READ THIS: SUBSCRIPTIONS TO THREADS AND NOTIFICATIONS - DELETE OR KEEP

    It appears that some users are getting tons of email notifications about threads on the forums since our update the other day. Most if not all of these subscriptions are NOT things that these users actually subscribed to. The number of subscriptions can be as many as a couple thousand, and could be a pain to unsubscribe from. We can clear EVERYONE's Subscriptions if that is what the majority of you would like.

    IF WE CLEAR EVERYONE'S SUBSCRIPTIONS YOU WILL HAVE TO RESUBSCRIBE TO ANY THREADS THAT YOU WANT TO FOLLOW AND BE NOTIFIED ABOUT. WE CANNOT CLEAR SOME SUBSCRIPTIONS AND NOT OTHERS, SO EITHER EVERYONE SAYS YES CLEAR THEM ALL FOR EVERYONE, OR WE LEAVE THEM AND THOSE THAT ARE HAVING THE PROBLEM WILL MOST LIKELY HAVE TO CLEAR THEM ON THEIR OWN.

    IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, ASK THEM HERE. ABOUT SUBSCRIPTIONS ONLY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS WILL BE DELETED. WE HAVE ANOTHER THREAD THAT IS TALKING ABOUT THE UPDATE AND WE WELCOME GENERAL SUGGESTIONS AND QUESTIONS THERE.

    PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU WANT EVERYONE'S CURRENT SUBSCRIPTIONS DELETED SO THAT EVERYONE'S ACCOUNT IS CLEAR AND YOU CAN THEN SUBSCRIBE TO WHATEVER YOU WANT, OR... IF YOU WANT TO LEAVE IT ALONG AND LET THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING TROUBLES WITH THEM HANDLE IT THEMSELVES.

    Makes no difference to me either way. I don't use the subscription feature, and I don't get emails even though I'm somehow subscribed to virtually every thread I've responded to. Clearing a couple notifications from my inbox every so often doesn't bother me, but I wouldn't miss doing it.
    I'm probably wrong

                      I've never used those functions so I have no opinion. Thanks for asking, though.

                            YES, I WANT EVERYONE'S SUBSCRIPTIONS DELETED! ;)

                            (But does this also delete their magazine subscriptions?)

                            Seriously,
                            I don't get subscription notices personally from the forum. I think I had turned that off some time ago already and never used that function.
                            If it was On, I would find it annoying, but not too hard to turn off again.

                              A few of us never used that function either, but all of a sudden we're inundated with messages concerning replies on threads we've posted on, not subscribed to.......I'm one of the lucky ones, I"m only 'subscribed' to 2488............and you have to cancel them one at a time, as it now stands. I have 8 messages, as I type this............and I have never had this function turned on in the 6 years I've been here.......
