Is there a way of stopping getting the 'new replies to your posts' for one thread only ... I made a single contribution to a particular thread months ago, maybe even a year ago, and every day almost I get 'new reply to my post' ... I'm quite happy to get other 'new replies' ... its just that particular one that is getting a trifle annoying !

If not, I'll grin and bear it ...

I don't think there is, Lydart. I've got a few of them as well 

There've been other threads on this problem somewhere and the answer seems to be NO 

We have to grin    ...........................

PS - that's why this topic popped up on my 'New Replies' . I must have posted on here  at some stage

OK !!     (Sigh ...)


   

This is me grinning and bearing it ...

Happens to me too. But when I see it in my in tray, I delete it without reading it, and then I get no more posts.

That means that you don't check. just out of curiosity....

How about checking out on your profile what posts you get notified for and untick the ones you don't want to be notified about anymore.

Or at the top of this post is a button that says notify. if you click on that I think it will ask you if you do not/do want to be notified about the current post.

Hope I make sense.  I may have just confused myself here.

If you click 'notify' it asks if you wished to be notified of replies.  I didnt click it, as I've only just on this thread, found out what it was for !   

There isn't an option of NOT being notified of replies !!

If you click Notify after you have posted on a topic it will ask you

"Are you sure you wish to disable notification of new replies for this topic"

Hope this helps

No. Once you've answered a particular thread, any answers will keep popping up on your 'new replies'.

Tell me about it! I still keep getting notifications of replies from postings I replied to ages ago. I'm only replying to this posting because I replied to it some time ago, and it keeps coming up my notifications.

I have since learnt, that one should not reply to postings unless they relate to you, or you can help somebody out. If you can help somebody out, and you don't want to want notifications, send that person a PM - some people have done that with my postings.

Never reply to a thread that has a lot of previous replies. For example, I replied to "What music are you listening to now". It was a new topic with just a few replies, so I replied to it. This topic went into the 100's, and I was notified every time somebody else replied. Thankfully, that topic was "locked" by the person who first posted it, and I was saved from any more notifications.

In saying that, I have received reply notifications to old postings which have been months old, and have learnt something from it, so I was glad to be notified.

Guess one has to take the "good with the bad"

Hello all

In order to be a bit contructive, we do try to keep Off-Topic threads to 20 pages (yes, I know - 20 is a lot of pages!)

We also try to keep other threads short, and encourage those who start the threads to lock and start afresh if they get too long. (Please add a link, if you choose to do this, in order that we can keep track!)

Sorry there's not much else we can do - the only consolation is that the Mods get this just the same as everyone else, lol!

Kind regards, Arranroots
