[email protected] E-mails

1. Big OzzieSalvaged from archive1 Jun 2006, 23:40
   FileCabi.net suddenly started to E-mail me notifications when someone posts a reply on a video that I have commented on. I checked my profile page and it clearly is marked on the "do not notify" side of the column. This has just started in the last several days and I was wondering if there was a glitch or is someone just slamming me somehow? How do we stop it?

   check when you use the post reply button... there's a check box under where u type your message. if the box "notify me when replied" or something like that is check then you'll get the e-mail... i think it has the same option in your profile.... that's the only thing i can think of..

Correct. "Notify me when a reply is posted" is the last option when posting or replying, and it should NOT be checked.

Correct. "Notify me when a reply is posted" is the last option when posting or replying, and it should NOT be checked. I double checked it and made sure by triple checking it, it is not marked to receive notification and also the same with my profile. Everything is in order. This happened suddenly this past week, the only time I was notified prior to this was when a PM was addressed to me. I have also notified Tech-Guy of the situation. It is like someone is spamming me, every time someone enters a post on a video or forum that I have commented on, I get an E-mail. With over 700 posts (I believe) that is a lot of areas for someone else to post. I am actually getting about 100 E-mails a day from "The Staff @ FileCabi.net"!

   kk.. i don't kno what's wrong... you can go to your profile and change your e-mail address to a fake one so it'll send the e-mails to that

   Sounds like a typical spam attack then. This type of crap usually starts to happen when a board/site gets over a certain amount of traffic/members.

Is there some way to avoid this or can I block where the E-mails are coming from? I really do not want to change my E-mail address as it is used for business as well as pleasure. Any advise out there?.........(besides put my foot through my monitor)
