NEW - email notifications of new posts on a thread Im on.

jen if you read the thread I posted a link to in my earlier post, you'll see one of the reasons for having a button is it would be helpful to some members to feel less 'invisible'.

Actually it would also be a way someone could support a post without posting. I can definitely see that being useful on the News and Politics threads where animosity comes through. A Like button might result in more posters contributing to those threads.

Lucy did you see my question to you at 16:49?

LOL thanks Lucy.... I like hearing from GN , just not thirty or so times on the bounce :-)

A like button is so impersonal. It doesn't take much effort to say "good post so and so".

Thanks for the reply Lucy. So Gransnet will remain the only message board I know of without some kind of Like option.

Greenfinch some posters may prefer to remain anonymous, especially on the News and Politics threads.

Well, I'm not sure what's going on with my account.

I've had just the one email, informing me that someone had posted today on a 3 year old thread I've never posted on.

It was about pensions though, one of my current bugbears, so GNHQ must know me very well.

There's no Like button on Mumsnet, or edit facility either, so we've not much hope of getting either of those.

A "thumbs up" icon could be nice, tho?

Whew, I'm not going mad then FarNorth

Right. I'm still getting messages even though I unsubscribed, so it looks like there is a bug in the system.

Totally pi**ed off with this. See my comments also on WTF thread.
I may give up GN altogether if this goes on.

I don’t remember any thread asking us about email notifications does anyone else?

I do remember about name changes which wasn’t too popular but A thumbs up button and edit button have all been refused although wanted by most

It's a bit much getting a message telling you you have just posted on a thread, too, particularly this thread!

I would suggest IF we were being particularly rebellious that we forward every email notification back to GN .....of course I’m not that rebellious....... really

It should be undo the latest update ?

I was wrong!

Thought I had sorted and then got another load of them!!

Another Billy no mates here.
I feel rather overlooked as I haven't had any e-

Mails!! Fat finger moment there.

I've had a total of 48 email notifications so far. On each one of them it says you can opt out of receiving them by clicking on "Talk Preferences". I've opted out 48 times and I'm still getting them. I even reported my own post to GNHQ and asked them to stop sending them because my inbox is so full. The acknowledgement email I got back was from Mumsnet. Something odd going on......

I keep getting flurries of them and they’re a serious pain! If they haven’t stopped it by morning I’m going to have to change my email :-(

Hasn’t happened to me.....yet!

SORT IT GNHQ!

Yes I havent had any either Bathsheba

Weird, isn't it BlueBelle? Seems there are a few of us who aren't getting the notifications - wonder why?

The only thing I can think of is that I opted out of getting the newsletter emailed to me. Have others who aren't getting this email notifications also opted out of the newsletter?
