New emails about updates

62 replies

Why are there so many new emails telling me there’s an update on a thread? Why would anyone want an email on this? We can go to the site and check ‘I’m on’.

It seems a bit counterintuitive as all it’s made me do is unsubscribe from everything. They’re still coming though - I’ve had several today.

Please stop them MNHQ! They’re so bloody irritating and I’m going to stop voting in order to stop them, so it’s a pointless waste of time for you.

Strange, I’m not getting any emails except on threads I am watching which I haven’t had for a while either. Wonder if I opted out without remembering!

@MNHQ
I have always been unsubscribed from receiving any emails. Why has this suddenly started. It’s irritating, spammy and unprofessional of MNHQ.

Let me guess though. This is yet another little IT mistake.

"I like it. You can see which thread it is, so you can just ignore it if you’re not interested in reading the new posts on the thread."

Yeah, that's fine. There needs to be an option to unsubscribe though

I won't bother voting on any aibu polls while this happens

Genvonklinkerhoffen · 18/01/2020 12:49

+1 I unsubscribed on the email but they keep coming and I can't find anywhere on the site to unsubscribe.

I like it. You can see which thread it is, so you can just ignore it if you’re not interested in reading the new posts on the thread.

‘I’m on’ gets too full, too quick, so I lose threads.

‘I’m watching’ helps a bit...

SomeHalfHumanCreatureThing · 18/01/2020 12:45

Yep, same here. So many emails about AIBU polls, but unsubscribing doesn't stop it.

I’ve now blocked Mumsnet on my email account until it’s resolved.

BoreOfWhabylon · 18/01/2020 11:35

Yep, I started a thread about this yesterday. No response from MNHQ yet.

It’s extremely irritating and it’s making me want to delete my account. There’s no end to them! Despite unsubscribing, they are still coming through.

Make them stop!
