How to stop multiple email notices of already-read posts, et al.?

[WLSResources/ClothingExch 3,444]

It's getting worse. This morning I found 17 emails about new posts in one topic and 5 notices of new posts in another topic. In fact there were only 3 new notes in the first and one in the other.

Also received notices of new posts in two different private "conversations." I'd already read them, thanks to notices received yesterday.

Can something be done by BP to stop the floods of misleading, incorrect email? Is there something I can do myself to stop it?

You may need to be on the web rather than the app version of BariatricPal to do this. Click the little gear by your name in the upper right corner of the page --> My Settings --> Notification Options. Here, you can customize to your heart's content. For me the most important thing in controlling the notification spam was to de-select "Auto-Follow topics I reply to." Good luck!

Thanks, Bufflehead.

I am on web, not being an app-y sort. If you don't mind, before I follow your suggestion to deselect "Auto-follow," please let me know if it's the same as clicking "unfollow" at the top of topics I participate in. I've unfollowed some topics only because they ran their course for me, but I'd like to continue following other topics.

@@WLSResources/ClothingExch yes, it is the same thing.

You can follow topics and not get emails! I deselect the email option at my profile level. I log onto the site and choose "content I follow" to see a list of topics I am following.

I think I catch on now. I've been finding BP difficult to maneuver in general, but just attacked the long list of notification options...hacked away mercilessly.

Thanks to you both.
