I see that we now have an option for "E-mail notification" when you make a post or reply. While I like the option and think many people originating a post will select this option, I don't think it should be the "default".

I have been finding it a pain in the butt to have an e-mail sent to ALL of my replies where I didn't notice this E-mail notification flag. And I would say for most people replying, we probably don't want an e-mail notification EVERYTIME we reply to a post and forget to turn this flag off.

I think leaving the "E-mail Notification" flag "on" for originating posts and "off" for replies as the "defaults" would be better. Conversely, change the default to "off" as there is generally more replies than posts, or lastly, have the "flag setting" as a preference in my profile. But the current default (on) is a pain in the butt if you FORGET to turn it off.

Besides, this must be taxing your server

 

Hi Glenn,

There IS a flag to turn email notification ON or OFF by default for you It's in the EDIT OPTIONS of the USER CP

 

Great Dirk. Thanks.
