I have tried to discontinue receiving every posting that comes up in my e-mail to no avail.
I am REALLY getting tired of reading all of the bashing that has been going on. PLEASE, PLEASE stop the madness, and the postings to my e-mail. Thank you kindly.
Jerry

Read the bottom of every email you get and you will see a link where you can go to configure how often you get notified.

On your Puter - Click on Start. Click on Control Panel. Under System and Security, click on Find and Fix Problems. Click on Internet Forum Groups, and put a check in the box that says "Turn off the Bubble Machine". :)
If your Puter does not have that feature, then I can't help you. You will need a new Puter. :wink:

I am experiencing a similar situation as Jerry, and can't figure out how to fix the problem. I don't mind getting copies of all of the posts, but I often get multiple copies of the same post. Could there be a glitch that ended up with me being registered more than one time ???

Mike:

I just checked and your email is in the system only once.

Have you gone to http://www.coinopcollectorforum.com/ucp.php?i=boardwatch&mode=boardwatch to check your notification settings?

Please do so and let me know what they are set to.

I went into that "page" and checked, and all 3 circles are marked yes. Unless I'm misunderstanding what the instructions are saying, I wouldn't think that would cause me to receive multiple copies of the same post made by someone else that posts ( as I said, and as Jerry seems to be saying, it appears that I'm not just getting a new copy every time someone else posts, but am getting multiple copies of that same post that someone has made ). Or,,, could it be that ,,,

If there was a topic going on, and a new person posted a reply on a Monday, should I get a brand new copy of the new post, every day, until I actually went in ( or logged in ) to see what that person's latest post is ( ie - 7 copies in a week if I hadn't gone in to view his post ) ???

I'll try to make a copy of the multiple posts the next time that happend and send them to you. What email address can I use for you that will allow me to attach attachments & send them to you, as I dont't think I can do that within the confines of the forum program ???

And for the record...... All the above being said in an effort to make the system operate as efficiently, I want to strongly echo those compliments about you going to the effort to put the forum together. One does not have to observe very long to realize that you are doing it soley to advance the hobby and not for any personal gain. There are guys like Whelan that go way out of their way to pass along info, give good advice, and advance the hobby, and we all appreciate those efforts. But it's a much bigger effort to to to the extent that you have and put together a forum like this, and then keep it operating correctly & efficiently onan ongoing basis.

Thank You !
