I am hoping someone can help me please. I love this forum and have no intention of leaving it, however I am trying to get used to the new look version. Sadly, I am finding the new one less clear and user-friendly than its more streamlined and simpler predecessor, but hopefully that will improve with time and use. However, I am rather confused by the Preferences settings. On the old forum, I had set my preferences to receive an email notification if someone sent me a PM or quoted me in a thread reply. However, when the forum migrated to the new look one, out of the blue I suddenly received what was essentially a junk email from 'Star Wars Forum <[email protected]>', entitled 'Your favourite underrated figure?' and containing 'Highlighted Posts' from a slew of threads, some of which I had read and some of which I had not.
In light of this unwanted email, I examined my Preferences on the new forum, however the closest match I could find was the 'Receive news and update emails' option, which was ticked (as was 'Receive email when a new conversation message is received'). I therefore unticked this option and did not receive any further unwanted emails. So far so good... However, today I posted in the 'What figure completed your loose run.' thread, and Nick (Mini99) quoted me in a reply, however I did not receive an email notification advising me of that fact. I have very reluctantly therefore re-ticked the 'Receive news and update emails' option once again in the hopes that I will also once again receive notifications when someone replies to or quotes a post by me in their reply.
Please can someone explain whether there is a way to just receive the same notifications I used to get on the old forum (i.e. PM's and quotes/replies to my posts), without receiving other unwanted 'News' emails?
Many thanks.
Jeremy
