I follow many different forums here and I get alerts in my email and in turn, I get alerts on my cell. I have to open each one just to find out if its really a new thread or just a spambot. Then delete them from my inbox. The only way to avoid this hassle is to unfollow every forum. But then then I have to look in each forum for any new threads or new thread postings.
Snake: I really really don't want to go anywhere else. I consider this my home away from home. But, its a real pain in the tush to have to keep going through all this to avoid my email from filling up.
Three things I hate most: aiptasia, ick and spambots. I'll do anything I need to to avoid all three.
I've got tons of filters and firewalls to get rid of it in my regular email but when it gets through via this website? AAAGH!
I'm with Aduvall, I don't want my e-mail clogged up with alerts...somebody posted on a thread you posted on, kind of thing. I just log on when I want to, at my convenience, and check the "new posts" I HATE spam too, but I also hate a clogged up with junk mail inbox. So really, you created your own nightmare, and it's an easy fix.
I used to get alerts, it was mostly nonsense stuff, no fish lives were hanging in the balance for an answer, so I stopped it. You can add the different sites to your favorites list, and just click a tab to be on the site to check the new postings. I really hope you don't leave, and to be honest, the "spambots" will find your other sites too.
LOL...By the time I posted this... you already fixed the problem...I type soooo slow. But I'm leaving the post in case somebody else is having troubles.
and you can quickly check when its convenient for you.
