Hi, All:

A while ago, I meant to unsubscribe from email alerts on one particular thread, but accidentally clicked on the option to stop all emails from Rootschat forever, and now I can't figure out how to change it back!

I've tried reading the 'How to Use Rootschat' forum but none of the suggestions I've seen have worked.

I know I can check the title bar at the top of this page for Hi Josephine! [Unread Posts] [New Replies] but I'd rather get email alerts.

In Rootschat.com >> Profile of Josephine >> Email Notifications, I have:
- checked the box for "Receive forum newsletters, announcements and important notifications by email"
- checked the box for "Turn email notification on when you post or reply to a topic"
- "For topics and boards I've requested email notifications on, notify me" = "Instantly - but only for the first unread reply"
- "For topics and boards I've requested email notification on, notify me of" = "Replies and moderation"
- and saved/updated the changes (on more than one occasion)

At the bottom of that page, it says:
"Current Board Email Notifications    
You aren't receiving email notifications on any boards right now.
To request email notifications from a specific board, click the 'notify' button in the index of that board."

But when I look at a thread that I've posted on (for example, this one: http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=749932.0), I don't see a "notify" button at the top. It only says: REPLY; UNNOTIFY; MARK UNREAD and PRINT.

Help! What should I do?

Thank you in advance for any help you can give me!

Best regards,
Josephine

Easiest and quickest thing would be to PM either Trystan or Sarah and ask them to sort it for you.  ;)

Hi Josephine,

I made that same mistake a while back. I sent a pm to Sarah (Administrator) who very quickly sorted out the problem.
