You cannot do it for specific threads... Whatever option you have selected regarding e-mail notification (instantly, daily, weekly, or no notification) applies to all threads that you are participating in. You participate, or subscribe to a thread, as a result of posting on that thread. You may also subscribe to a thread that you have never posted on by selecting "Thread Tools/Subscribe".

What you can do is "unsubscribe" from the thread that you don't want to receive e-mails about. You could also stop all your e-mail notifications, and just check for updates to all threads that you are subscribed to by clicking on "User CP".

Best regards,

To change the E-mail Notification:

1. Click on "User CP", and a new page will come up.
2. On the left of the new page look for "Edit Options", and click on it. A new page will come up.
3. Look in the middle of the page for the section titled "Messaging & Notification", and look at the drop down box under "Default Thread Subscription Mode". That is where you can choose: instant, daily, etc.

Best regards,

Email notification of thread responses

You cannot do it for specific threads... Whatever option you have selected regarding e-mail notification (instantly, daily, weekly, or no notification) applies to all threads that you are participating in.

Actually, you can also have different notifications for a whole forum. For example, if I unsubscribe to all of the odd threads in offtopic, an understatement, I could go to the top level of the offtopic forum, then select the "forum tools" dropdown and subscribe to the entire forum. You would be given 3 notification options of no email, daily notification, or weekly. It cuts out a lot of email traffic.

Yes, I was aware of the "Forum Tools", but I didn't think that lgbalfa was looking for distinctions between forums... When I read "how do i do this for a specific post but not all posts ?", I interpreted this to mean a distinction between threads, and I am aware that he participates in many threads within the same forum... It is good that you have pointed this out however, as it always good to have complete info.
