I just joined today and have only posted a couple of times. After getting the first email for the alert on a post, I tried to stop those emails by going to alert preferences but saw no where to stop just the emails. I even went into regular preferences and took off every reference to receiving an email that I could. I'm still getting the emails for every little thing. So I have now unchecked every thing on the alert preferences page. Will this stop the emails? Will I still get the little alerts in red on the header though? I don't mind the alerts notice in the header, I just cannot have them come to my email. I can't have that happening when I'm at work as my phone goes off for every email I get!
Thanks!
@HavaDrPepper In your account profile, there are Preferences and Alert Preferences. The ones that control email are under the regular Preferences. You'll just need to uncheck the boxes that say send email. If you still want to receive the little alert notifications under the lightning bolt, you'll want to turn your Alert Preferences back on. Those do not send emails. I hope that helps! Let me know if you need any additional info!


sometimes I make mistakes. And that makes me feel stupid so I usually google the spelling of weird words (like change and chance, which is which? It's excruciating, which I also had to look up, I wrote that second c with an s). It would be so much easier if I could just click a button and my whole post would be spell checked. Anyhow, this might be too much of a fancy request but I'm sure there are more then just me that would appreciate it. (also had to look that up, wrote the first e as an i, see I really suck)
