    For ALL of your benefits ......

    ....go into User CP at the top of the page.....choose Edit Options....

    go down until you find "Use 'Email Notification' by default?" and switch it OFF.
    Save yourself and your email....a right pounding

    I'm gonna sticky this now ...only for a week, but I think you all need to remember it

    yep.. gotta remember the emails option.. first thing i did after recieving the obligatory " HEXUS.net Forums Mai...Reply to post 'Hello to all' "

    just a side note, you'll still get mails from the forums for the threads you replied in previous to turning the option off...

    Just tick the "email notification for this post" then on ones you want to keep track of. No point having it auto-enabled, especially during the first few days.

    A good idea is to acctualy write it in your sig image (so its in the pic and not standalone text), but not link it - this way it wont be picked out by bots

    *scratches head* Excuse my ignorance, but why would one get more emails than usual for those threads one is subscribed to? Or is this only really applicable to the more prolific writers among us (Read: 200 post count in less than a week)?

    cos, my dear eldren, lots of people subscribe to a good few per hour....and its set ON by default....so in your first day at Hexus, joining in with 15 threads involves 15 emails you weren't expecting....and more if you continue joining in...

    its just nice for people to know, "It doesn't haveto be this way "

    Gonna unsticky this now
