Harry Stottle Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I have not altered any of the settings on this platform, but all of a sudden over the last 2 days I am recieving countless e-mail notifications from this site up to 70 each day, has anyone else noticed this? And can anyone advise me how to stop it please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See which thread the posts are coming from and go in and uncheck the follow button. It's a really annoying thing when it happens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Dave, It tells me that I am following 2 sites when I cluck on it it takes me a list of alternatives, and just a black follow button, I have tried to alter all individually but it still shows I am folliwing 2, one which I believe is the site itself and the second a thread which I have located but there is no unfollow button to check, any other suggestions?

Just to complicate matters, I went back into my e-mails and I have recieved another 4 mails in the last 10 mins all for the same thread, I have gone into that thread and it does have an "unfollow" check, I have activated that hopefully no more notifications from that one, but on the front page it still shows that I am following 2, i will await hopefully another notification from another offender and see if I can uncheck that.
