True, but if you're not posting then you don't get the notifications in any case. |
You do, believe me, you do! |
I don't- I've left DS alone at times in the past and they tail off as your threads die down, unless you're getting the hundreds of PMs asking you to come back,then you get them but considering tiggy last posted at the beginning of October, I doubt they will get too many to be a problem. |

Well, I 'left' for a short while and I was getting loads of them, I am sure they would eventually die down, but not being able or not wanting to respond is a tad frustrating. I think if people do 'leave', they should be given the opportunity of adjusting their profile settings to allow them to at least switch off the email notification facility. |

In your profile, you need to make sure the "Always notify me of replies:" button is turned off
Then you won't get set any emails. |

I've never been sent emails.... (just the odd PM aimed at another Sally once in a wonder.....  )
And I wander in and out of here a bit. Haven't had an email in 6 months or more I think. |

That's because your profile is set like mine is in the picture. If you want emails set the button to yes. |

OH NO! I don't WANT emails! 
Just I thought that the default must be no-emails because I don't ever remember turning them off!  |

What I was trying to find out was could I delete myself from the membership list and just slink quietly away through the gap in the downsizer hedge .It seems easy to sign up to forums but not to escape if you think you maybe should reduce the things you belong to.Just not visiting seems a bit wooly.Im not stomping off in a huff slamming the catflap behind me its just wanting to reduce the temptation to lurk on the internet when I should be making rag mats. |

There is a thread about blocking a website. You could do that. |

Change the pass word but just hit random keys & then copy & paste it to confirm |
