How Do I?

Turn off email notifications for threads that I post on. Very annoying and it blows up my email. I can't seem to find that switch in my settings.

It's underneath "Thread Tools" at the top of the page.

I go to the last 'page' of a thread that I no longer want to receive email notifications, click on "Thread Tools" and the drop-down menu will say "Unsubscribe to the thread".

Click on that and you're done (for that thread). The thread will still show a 'green dot' in the Forum because you've got a response in it but you'll no longer get an email that someone else has responded to that thread.

So there is no way to be subscribed to a thread and not receive emails on responses to that thread? That's a first for me. Maybe the default should be unsubscribed and if you want to be you go select subscribed but it would make more sense to be able to just turn off all email notifications.

Yes there is.

Go here: https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/profile.php?do=editoptions

Scroll down to: "Default Thread Subscription Mode". Change the option to your choice, either no Email, or once a week, etc.

For the already subscribed threads, you can go here: https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/subscription.php?folderid=0

Selected all threads, then scroll down to: Selected threads and change the option.

When I have time to get on TBN I just click the bookmark and it opens the MY Home, with a list of subscribed threads:

Welcome! I don't recall hearing of any Scranton except in Pennsylvania. There's a community called Pittsburgh in S.C. near to where I grew up and I doubt you've ever heard of that Pittsburgh, either. ( : -)
