Ive already tried that and it made not the slightest bit of difference! I still get emails every day from the same thread...and assuming unticking works, which it appears not to, it means you have to post again in the same thread whether you want to or not, just to get out of it.
Without placing too much of a burden on the admin, dont you think that there is perhaps a fundamental flaw in the software used for the forum that makes it impossible to unsubscribe from a thread?
I think Id be very tempted to bite the bullet and bin this software (as pretty as it is) and use something more user friendly.
Now heres me adding junk mail to everyones inbox by posting this... its reached the stage where I dread seeing PP in my inbox!!
P.S. Charlie, please DONT reply to this post!

I think the problem is not that you get messages from PP but that most of the messages are irellevant resulting in you looking at postings that make no sense.
The way to stop that, not just for you but for everyone, would be to stop Charlie posting. He is personally responsible for generating 90% of the PP crap that turns up in my in box, crap leads to further crap and before you know it you cant cope anymore!

I dont have to tell you to act on the way im doing things.
My only wish is that in my simple and humble way of doing things in PP, a solution was found on how to deal with messages from PP without placing to much burden to PP volunters to customize everything we want from PP.

This may not be smart move for you but same to you i did encounter similar problem.
My personal email is comes from yahoo.com. I notice that im inundated with lots of PP messages.
What I did???????????????
I created a gmail.com account (email) and tell PP to sent all PP messages to my gmail account.
Now all PP messages goes to my gmail account, its unlimited gbytes anyway. So in my leisure time I open my gmail account and see what PP send. Anyway, I know what PP send since I always open PP.
OK, I tried posting again in the thread and unchecking the Email me, but Im still being inundated with emails telling me of posts in the same thead! Aarrrggggg......... HELP!

Perhaps you could elaborate on this or enlighten me as to how to go about it... telling me it can be done isnt much use without showing me how.

Thanks, Nicolas...
I thought it might be something a bit wacky like that since there is no user control panel as such...

Hi Derek
One way is to post a reply in that thread and
delete the check in the "Email me:" section
One question bringing up another:
Is there a way to list ones own posts?
Regards
Nicolas
