Email notifications

I've already set my email notifications under settings and I'm still getting 20-40 emails a day about so and so joining this group and so and so started a discussion in this group. Do i have to unfollow all of the groups just to get this to stop? I really hope not!

This has not solved all of my incoming email issues but it has cut down quite a bit. I just clicked the "clear my follow list" button on email settings, so we'll see if that takes.

For now, if the problem persists, we're going to ask everyone to NOT receive notifications and then send out a weekly blast reminding folks to check their inboxes and friend requests. But we'd love to see if the following options work first.

Sorry about the email deluge!; ▶ Reply to This

It looks like the answer is to click Settings>>Email>> then click the button "Clear My Follow List". Then if you click "None" and "Save"...

After you do those and save, you could add back in specific emails you don't mind receiving. We're working on getting a weekly digest email out to TBEX members and will remind you to check friend requests and blog comments then if you'd prefer to wipe the slate clean on notifications...

Hope that helps!; ▶ Reply to This

Bummer you gals will have to do a weekly message manually! Maybe you can put in a feature request to Ning. :); ▶ Reply to This
