I'm having an annoying problem:

even though i have these settings in place:

i am still automatically subscribed to every thread i reply to, meaning i have to clear my watch lists to stop the email arriving each time i reply to a topic.

is there something else (other than cancelling the redirect from the email account, or sending to junk) that i should be doing to stop the board notifying me of every reply ?

you have to tick the box "watch every i reply to"

when you start or reply to a topic you need to look under "topic options" below the post entry and uncheck the box.

Ahh, right, so using the quick reply box isn't an option then?

I think if you use quick reply it won't subscribe you, If I'm wrong though i'll revert to the usual behaviour of having to check the box to subscribe.

well, i use the quick reply box, and it does it every time for me.

Seems daft to have a general setting set to no email replies, then a post specific one set to send them!

i personally think the general setting should be for email replies (for newbies to get emails and for us to disable) and then the post specific one set to no replies unless ticked. if you know what i mean.

either that or i can stop being lazy using the quick reply box

Ticking the global box will watch every topic which is not what he wants. He has that unchecked as it should be but he hasn't been unchecking the box on individual posts. I think the suggestion of setting the global box to on by default with maybe daily digests as the default notification setting would be a good compromise.

That way newbies won't get their inboxes flooded but they will still get notified and the more experienced users will know they can change this to what they like in any case.

i am still automatically subscribed to every thread i reply to

I only get notifications if i reply to a thread, then someone else replies. hence i am then 'subscribed' to that thread.
