    Yeah, this wasn't cool. Highly annoying.

        Ben, thanks for posting the solution.

        I can see why this was changed and I agree with the reasoning behind the change. It would be good to encourage visitors to return to Poly. We need more active contributors.

        Good idea Martin.

          It was such a good idea, I hope Martin does it again. Maybe subscribe everyone to PolyCast while he's at it.

            Hmmm, I don't see a Do Not Notify option. There is a Do Not Subscribe option in a drop-down for Default Thread Subscription Mode which I have selected.

            I was still getting the emails though, so I've set the Receive Email from Administrators to off as well, in case that makes a difference.

            I'm not very pleased about this. Perhaps the sensible solution is for me to Stop Posting Forever.

              No, you are correct, just make sure you clear out your subscribed threads.

                Think of the noobs and the casual visitors.

                      Got me today, too. Fortunately I am tech savvy enough to have figured it out.......... I hope.

                        Well I figured it out quickly...within seconds in fact. But what a dumb thing to do. Perhaps you should've changed the default settings for a new registration rather than change everybody's damn settings.

                            Yes, the best way to gain active contributors is to annoy the ones that are already here.

                              Happened to me, too. Being not all that tech savvy, I stumbled and lurched through it to seeming success.

                                Or done it for new users since the switch.
