Stopping notification emails - Answered

Hi--
I recently changed my profile to stop the email notification of replies, as I'm on the forum each day anyway. I kept the private message notification.
The emails are still coming, even though the profile page did change to "no." I tried changing it at least once more. It stayed changed once again, but the emails continue to come. What do I need to do now?

Hi Anita
I have checked your profile and as you say you have unchecked the notifications. I do not know why you are still getting them. I hope when we eventually upgrade phpBB "features" like this will disappear.
Sorry I cannot help you further.

Did you log out and clear your cookies?

Hi, Anita -
The reason you are still receiving email notifications is very simple, hon . . . the changes you made to your settings only affect your notifications from that time
forward.
You will still receive notifications from every topic to which you previously posted - and/or were set to receive response notifications - for every new post made . . . that is, until you go into each and every one of those topics and click on the link (found in the lower left corner of the page) to "
Stop watching this topic". However, you may also click on that same link in your email notification(s) when you receive it/them, which would be the easiest way for you to stop receiving all the 'old' notifications.
Logging out and/or deleting your cookies will have absolutely no effect . . . nor will the future upgrade to phpBB3 as this is a member-controlled profile setting and
not a system-wide setting.
((Hugs))
