Getting Way Too Many Emails From Dgn All The Sudden?

[Troy Spiral (13)]

If you dont have a ton of emails from DGN , ignore this post.

The oversimplified reason as to why its happening now, is that there was an error with one of the database files, and IPS replaced that file with a new , clean file with no edits and it reset a lot of things, so all the notification setting got set to whatever the defaults are. In this case "notify me of replies to posts".

Its only the "power users" that this is really an issue for. The random 1 post a week people (which make up 95% of DGN users) will get one email notification and thats it. Not the notify-bomb that some of us are getting.

Anyhow if you want to stop getting the notifications go to your control panel and the "email settings" section here:

and you un-check that box or change it to "daily" or some such. It should work, BUTTTTTTTTT it might not work right away it might take an hour or two , and in extreme cases it might not take effect until midnight server time. So if its "not working" its probably not that you need to do anything more , just might take a bit before it takes effect.

I also edited the notification email to have direct links to where you need to go to turn it off , rather than just the (poor) text explanation. All the "new" emails explain right in the email how to turn it off.

If you take the above steps and its still not turning the notifications off by tomorrow i can check your accounts individually.

The last box there , is there a check in it or no?

Ok for the people still having trouble.

The problem is that if you go into email settings and disable notifications (as listed above) it WILL get rid of the notifications of any topics that you post in. But not the existing ones.

The existing ones you click on "view topics" and disable whatever topics you dont want to be subscribed to. If thats all of them, then you just check all of them.
