    Need to stop Email notifications on Replies to a Thread

    We moved from VB4 to VB5 yesterday and since then, Email notifications have started to occur, and forum members are pinging me to make it stop. I have 7500 members on the forum.

    I need a global way to stop all email notifications, and only allow future notifications if a forum member explicitly wants to be alerted.

    I have done a few searches, but cannot find anyone else having this issue resolved.

    Many thanks

    Users can choose what they receive email notification for on their Settings Page using the Notifications tab.

    The only way to delete all existing subscriptions to content is to delete the contents of the subscribediscussions table in your database.

      Can I not turn it off by default ?
      This dear to be an issue with VB4, but does appear to be causing some concern since the upgrade.
      A global switch off would be useful.

        There is no switch to disable email notifications. Email notifications are OPT-IN only. Even in vBulletin 4. Users have to subscribe to topics or forums in order to get notifications from them.
