New emails about updates

62 replies

Smelborp · 17/01/2020 23:30

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.

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!

BoreOfWhabylon · 18/01/2020 11:35

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

Osirus · 18/01/2020 12:19

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

SomeHalfHumanCreatureThing · 18/01/2020 12:45

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

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...

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.

StoorieHoose · 18/01/2020 12:52

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

SomeHalfHumanCreatureThing · 18/01/2020 13:03

"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

GoldfishRampage · 18/01/2020 13:04

@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.

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!

T0tallyFuckedUpFamily · 18/01/2020 13:14

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.

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 18/01/2020 13:18

That’s a bit presumptuous to send out emails we hadn’t sign up for! Just got one, unsubscribed and deleted. Not sure what’s the point in them. Not going to make me use the site more, rather less.

PickAChew · 18/01/2020 13:25

It's really bloody annoying. I did not opt in to these emails but I'm getting them anyway. It's making me not want to vote or even weigh in on a thread.

JellyfishandShells · 18/01/2020 14:33

This has been annoying me as well ! I was already unsubscribed to emails so don’t know why this has started. Please make it stop !

T0tallyFuckedUpFamily · 18/01/2020 15:42

Actually I’m going to report this thread, just to make sure MNHQ read it.

Fairylea · 18/01/2020 15:47

I hate it as well. Driving me crazy.

PurpleDaisies · 18/01/2020 15:48

I was wondering if there was a thread about this already. I have unsuccessfully unsubscribed from emails. It’s extremely irritating.

KimMumsnet · 18/01/2020 16:08

Hi, all.
Sorry to hear about this. We're trying to get to the bottom of it now and will have an update for you asap, so please do bear with us.
Kim

T0tallyFuckedUpFamily · 18/01/2020 16:28

Thank you Kim.

MillicentMartha · 18/01/2020 16:35

I’m getting them too. If they don’t stop I’ll be unsubscribing from all emails.

willothewispa · 18/01/2020 17:06

I have an email address only for mumsnet, I never check it as the volume of spam is ridiculous.

Fairylea · 18/01/2020 17:28

I have unsubscribed from every one I’ve had and I still get more, just about different threads!

Apileofballyhoo · 18/01/2020 17:32

I think it's just the AIBU. But it is annoying.

BIWI · 18/01/2020 17:39

I think it's only the threads you've voted on in AIBU, isn't it?
