Email Overload

[95C1500]

How do I stop GMT400, FSC, etc... from sending me all these emails. I hate going through 250 emails looking for that one inportant one I need. I've seen a thread like this but I couldn't find it. I've tried blocking them, sending them to junk, and other things. Nothing is working.

Add the sending e-mail address to your junk mail list. Done.

I've done that 3 times and they keep coming. I'll try again though.

I'm guessing they are thread updates. The reason this happens is because when you sign up for the forums, your settings are pre set to automatically subscribe to topics. So here's what you need to do.

Click on "Settings" in the top right of any page of the forums. Then, in the left hand column you will see "General Settings". Under "Messages & Notifications" you will see "Default Thread Subscription Mode". Click on the drop down menu and choose "Do not subscribe". Then scroll down to the bottom and click "Save Changes".

After you have done this it will stop automatically subscribing to every topic you post in, but you are still subscribed to the topics you had posted in before you made these changes so there is one more step to stop getting these emails.

Click on "Settings" again, and at the top you will see a list of subscriptions with new posts. Next click on "View All Subscriptions". This will show you all the threads you are subscribed to already. Click and put a check mark in the box to the right of the list above them all. The right box is circled in the picture below. After this you need to click on "Selected Threads" to drop the menu down. In the menu select "Delete Subscriptions" and then click on "Go". These are all illustrated in the image below.

You most likely have a few pages of subscriptions so you will need to keep doing that second part until all the subscriptions are deleted.

You are sending that e-mail to junk, but have you added the sending email address to your junk list?

Perfect! Done.

Thanks man. I don't mind helping people out in detail like this because I absolutely hate it myself. The worst part is that it's the default setting on almost every forum you sign up for. So by the time you remember you need to do it, you're already subscribed to 50 or more threads that you've posted in.

This sounds like a vbulletin issue that I may not even be able to fix. I will see what can be done.

I got it fixed. I went in and manually selected the threads...

Perfect! Done.

another thing you can do is change your settings so that it doesn't email you for anything- that's what I do. I just come to the dashboard to see what's new and delete subscriptions when I don't need them anymore
