Please fix the forums to stop sending email notifications for every commet, quote, etc.

The edit profile settings where this lies does not deactivate the emails anymore after you updated your forums.

    Look at your top bar.

    Click the globe icon next to your name.

    Click "Notification Preferences" in the upper-right.

    Set e-mail and notification preferences accordingly.

    I did briefly, before turning them off. That was before the forum overhaul though... I don't recommend it.

    The only notifications I get to my email are when I earn badges.

    Notification emails are sent from you guys so the device is a non-issue. It's a forum issue it seems for question threads

    I just checked my email, and I am only getting notifications for personal messages sent to me on the boards.

    Which is exactly how I have it set up. The thread I started today did not give me any email notifications, but I did not pose it as a Question Thread, which does seem to do things a bit differently.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Are you sure that the device you're using to set your preferences isn't part of it?

    I'm getting e-mails exactly according to how my notification preferences are set.

    100% sure and ZOS just sent me a PM that unfortunately because I created a "Question" instead of a normal thread, I will get emails on all comments, etc. This cannot be turned off in the new Forum.

    We are working on making the thread regular and not a question

    He was asking if you were using the device to turn the notifications off. So device is not a non-issue.

    I had stated earlier that the notifications that we see on the forums are sending emails for each to my email address.
    I also commented that I had turned off email notifications twice. Once using a PC and another time using my iPhone. Emails come to any device so the device is a non-issue.

    The thread is about emails tho...make sense?

    So now you've answered his question, and he can continue. Makes sense now...
