You've just been quoted!

[joekicker 53]

I just got an email with descriptive subject starting out:

 

Hello!

 

This message is to notify you that one of your posts has been quoted by LED.

 

The post that was quoted can be found here:

 

Then it had the link. Then it quoted a lot of the actual post.

 

Tell me this is some sort of glitch and not something we can look forward to in the default setup??? Please?

I have a few of these showing up in my junk e-mail box (the e-mail service uses SPAM filters, mostly quite effective).

 

I find it handy to see quotes without the need to go into the site as I use an iPad and 3G at the office which is no speed demon.

Yes, I believe you find it handy and others, too. But I don't. I'd never seen it before, and don't want it, and wondered what the hey. Do we turn it on/off? Why did I suddenly start getting them (two, now). etc.

 

It's not an overall objection, just a personal one. Anyone wanting it, that's jake. Anyone NOT wanting it, that would be nice, also.

Yeah I have been getting these and have been into my settings 3 times now unchecking and checking various boxes.

Don't need them as my routine is to look at new posts and would come across them anyhow.

Likely only Pappy being infantile anyhow!

Okay, this seriously sucks now. Hope MM looks in. Or maybe I'll just find one of his posts and reply to it, he'll get the mail, right?.

You have a problem with it? I have a dozen saying Joekicker just quoted your post. Now we all have to get a double dose of Joe :yikes:

[joekicker 53]

Yes, of course. Even I can see the value of SOME notification.

 

(LD, please notice I didn't quote you.)

It's a carefully designed plot to get joekicker to start a topic.

 

It worked!

The notification choices are under MY SETTINGS/NOTIFICATION OPTIONS. I mistakenly set the default for quoted posts as not changeable by the user. My bad.

 

You can now turn off email for that and any other notification event.

 

Let me know if it still occurs.

 

It was nice to see you start a topic, though

That hurts. I've started a bunch. Not a record, but a bunch.

 

A couple of hours ago I got an email that you'd quoted one of my posts. It'd be great if that was the last one. Thanks for taking a look.

[jacko 8,827]

Im just got anudder one..... so do I have to go back and find some box to uncheck?

[joekicker 53]

For the record, I haven't seen one since MM's massive yet humble intervention.
