New posts create an auto subscription.

Post by acejestyr15 »

Hey what's up EP, HH, and or Blends?! So all the sudden as of today Everytime I make a post or response or whatever it auto signs me up as a subscriber to that thread.... So everytime someone replies or posts on it as well I get an email notification out of the blue. Why is this happening? How do I fix it? I have looked through all of the preferences and setting and can't find anything even remotely close to able to control this.....

You broke the forum. Prepare to be banned.

:lol:

I'll see if I can poke around and see what's up. We might have to wait for e_poison to figure it out.

Very strange, the last changes I made to the forum software were earlier this week. Before troubleshooting this - I would log out, clear your browser cache/cookies, then log back in and see if it helps. If it doesn't, please report back here.

edit: Nevermind, just saw your above post. I think we posted at the same time lol.

When you go to make a post, check the Options section at the bottom of the screen under the posting area.

You should see an option called "Notify me when a reply is posted". Make sure this is unchecked.

Looks like the option thing is the issue.... But it's auto checked everytime now. So now I have to uncheck it everytime I post?! That'll be annoying and def won't even remember which makes it more annoying lol

Go into your user profile and find Board Preferences -> Edit Posting Defaults

Switch 'Notify me upon replies by default:' to 'NO' and then hit save.

This will apply it globally so you don't have to manually uncheck it everytime.

I'm having to log in every 3 seconds. It's constantly checking if my connection is secure. After I log in I have to log in again if I want to post anything or change what I'm viewing. It didn't used to do that.

Could be a temporary issue with cloudflare, but most likely a browser issue. It happens to me sometimes on Safari for a few different websites. Have you cleared all site cookies? That should solve the problem in most cases.

Which phone/browser do you use?

If it's an iPhone using Safari, I have this problem too on some websites. One site I visit (not this one though) keeps logging me out and I keep having to reset my cookies. Must be something with the latest Safari update. Good news is that it's an easy fix.

If you want to clear only the cookies for Double M:
Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data > Show All Sites > Search for "doublemherbals" > Swipe left and tap delete.

Or, you can simply wipe everything. This will log you out of everything and clear your browsing history:
Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data
