even though I have set my Forum preferences to not allow private e-mail responses ... they continue to come
-
I think I had mentioned this before. I've tried turning the setting on, then saving the Preferences, then turning it off and saving ... but this seems to have no effect. Since, now, I'm more active on the Quick Answers forum, commenting, and replying with answers, these are increasing in number, and I prefer not to have cryptic e-mail updates. thanks, Bill

I think with QA that you get an email message every time anyone posts a comment to a "Solution" that you have added; even those in reply to other comments. These are not private email messages, as they would have the return address of the sender rather than the generic CodeProject address.

Thanks, Richard, I do see these messages are coming in response to QA comments, and answers, and I clearly saw these messages are generated by CP, not the individual responder, but I thought that when you set your site Preferences in your Profile to not allow private e-mails, that applied to all responses in every are of CP. I do think the site user should have total control over all private notifications. My preference would be to have fine-grained control over permissions for CP to generate an e-mail notification, so that, for example, I could choose not to have notifications from QA, but could choose to have them from responses to my own posts on C#. Also, ideally, I could have the choice of receiving all notifications once per day. I love thinking of work the CP could do :) best, Bill
