Baffling e-mail from AnswerBank

[wiltsman]

I've just had an e-mail from AnswerBank about a Jimmy Saville post which, although I read the comments, I've avoided getting involved on this particular subject. I have asked a question tonight, but it was placed in the technology section!

The e-mail to me reads as follows:

Dear wiltsman, You have received a response to a thread you are

Has anyone else had this sort of thing happen to them?

You might have accidentally clicked on the Subscribe tab at the bottom of the post.

I believe the email will give you the option to unsubscribe.

Yes, you have subscribed to a thread and received a notification that someone has posted on to it.

Maybe you've accidentally clicked over the 'subscribe' area while reading the thread. I've seen other ABers ask a similar question in the past. Just click unsubscribe.

[squarebear]

That's because you are not subscribed to the thread pug

thanks squarebear

Are you Jimmy Saville?

If not, it's most likely to be that you've subscribed to the thread.

Many thanks EcclesCake, that obviously what I must have done.

Thanks also to others who've pointed this out.

If you click on MY profile you'll see a tab for 'Threads I'm Subscribed to'. It sounds as if the Jimmy Saville thread will be on your list. If you are subscribed to it and don't want to be you can clock the Unsubscribe option

..... and thank you factor30 for the info on checking out my 'Threads I'm Subscribed to'.

I appreciate you taking the time to answer my thread as you must be busy sorting out desktops questions!
