Exclamation Email notification is now disabled, but here's what you can do

Hi Folks,

I had to disable email notification, and below you will see how you can still check on your subscribed threads.

Why: We are receiveing thousands of "bounced" emails. Our forum sends out notification for new replies to threads you have subscribed to. If your email address is no longer valid, your ISP returns the email to us, with various explanation of either delays, or the email is no longer valid. This happens when you register with one email, and then change ISPs but forget to update your profile.

This is resulting in huge backlog of thousands of emails that are being sent every day and returned to us, waisting a lot of resources and bandwidth.

As it is extremely difficult to go through all these returned emails, and identify the members and contact them, one by one, to change their profiles with the new emails account, we decided to diable email notifications until we find a way to resolve this problem.

In the mean time, here's what you can do to check on all the updates to your subscribed threads

1. Click on "Profile"

2. At the bottom of the page, you will see a list of "Subscribed Threads" in the last day

3. To see all subscribed threads, check the popup list titled "Show threads from ", and select the number of days you want to check, or select "from the beginning"

This will list all threads you have subscribed to and requested to be notified about when there is a new reply.

If you have any questions on how to use this feature, please feel free to ask.

Wa'il
