Subscibed Threads

[SlackAlice]

If I find an interesting question I often 'subscribe' to the thread. By doing that I find it makes life easier for me to find it again.

If its a very active thread I suddenly find my email inbox besieged with AB emails. Is there any way of opting out of the emails?

If it's not possible then may I suggest an 'opt out' box in members profiles?

would it be easier just to bookmark the thread, if you don't actually want to be notified of new posts? (I know, you have to do it again for each new page)

It's just the email I don't want (sorry AB Editor ☺).

I can see what your saying jno, but that would involve adding and deleting in my Bookmarks/Favorites which is would take up too much time. I already know if there's a reply by looking at the 'subscribed posts' when I log in. Much easier to have an 'opt out' box, similar to the one for the newsletter.

My Bookmarks folder is already quite big.

where did that 'is' come from?

Just set up a new email addy and change your email address in AB, then you only need to check that address if you want to.

Hi SA.....I think it is important to 'Subscribe' to interesting threads and ignore the actual E/mails; by having them directed into 'Junk Folder', which can be emptied by a single click of the mouse. You'll still have an up-date in your list of 'Subscribed Threads'......Incidentally, Newsletters will not end up as junk....Well they do Not so far as I am concerned.

I'm very unlikely to set a new email addy just to collect AB's emails, somewhat defeats the object of what I'm trying to achieve ie, no emails.

I pick up my emails using email client software on my pc. I set some 'rules' and AB's emails are sent direct to the deleted items folder. When I exit the programs they get deleted automatically.

My suggestion is that there should be an option to 'opt out' because it's just a waste of time for me, I just do not want the emails in the first place.
