Suddenly, this morning, I have opened my email and found a few emails stating that someone has posted something on a thread I'm on .
Does anyone know how I can turn off these notifications ,they have the potential to totally clog up my inbox and I'm more than capable of tracking back threads I'm interested in to read new threads.
I've had a total of 48 email notifications so far. On each one of them it says you can opt out of receiving them by clicking on "Talk Preferences". I've opted out 48 times and I'm still getting them. I even reported my own post to GNHQ and asked them to stop sending them because my inbox is so full. The acknowledgement email I got back was from Mumsnet. Something odd going on......
I would suggest IF we were being particularly rebellious that we forward every email notification back to GN .....of course I’m not that rebellious....... really
We did talk through the suggestion some time ago. Rest assured, we do take requests like this seriously - it's just not always possible for us to go ahead with them unfortunately.
In the end, we decided that a like button also had the potential to upset people too, say, if their post wasn't liked at all. That, combined with the amount of tech development it would take to create it, means that it's not something we're implementing at the moment, sorry
jen if you read the thread I posted a link to in my earlier post, you'll see one of the reasons for having a button is it would be helpful to some members to feel less 'invisible'.
Actually it would also be a way someone could support a post without posting. I can definitely see that being useful on the News and Politics threads where animosity comes through. A Like button might result in more posters contributing to those threads.
Sorry those of you who have pointed this out - you can only 'un-watch' threads automatically in those preferences! Apologies, that wasn't what we had in mind and we'll get this fixes ASAP. We'll keep you posted.
