In User CP (top left), go to edit options - scroll down to "Default Thread Subscription Mode" and change it to "Do Not Subscribe".

My sister had the same problem. For some reason, when she started her account not long ago, it wasn't set that way to begin with like when I opened my account. I believe it was set on "instant notification" as default.

I wasn't at the computer when she started the account, but she said she didn't change any of those options herself. She didn't recognize that page when I went in there to fix the problem either.

Thanks for reporting this. We are having our Tech Team look into it.

Any further information you could provide would be helpful.

Default Mega-spam

Changed the subscription from weekly to daily. We'll see if that turns off the faucet :crazyr::jlammy:

If you or ibdalovely1 keep having the problem, just change it to "Do Not Subscribe".

No, it will not notify you unless you are subscribed.
