How To Un-Subscribe?
06/26/2013 2:53 PM
All of a sudden, when I checked my e-mail today, I was deluged with CR4 comments that I was subscribed to. They go back a long time. I tried to unsubscribe to them, but it failed.
The deluge was (hopefully) a one-time thing. There was a problem with the emails for subscriptions and so it's possible that the fix inadvertently sent you some old ones.
If it continues to happen, please let us know and we'll see what we can do to fix it better.
In the meantime, there are a few ways to manage the number of emails CR4 sends you:
Check the boxes next to the discussions you'd no longer like to follow and click the 'Unsubscribe' button down at the bottom.
I just tested this and it seems to work okay.
On your profile, click 'Edit Profile'.
Scroll down to the bottom section (Customize CR4) and decide whether or not you want to receive emails. The specific setting is called Subscribe to Discussions.
Below that is the Limit Subscribed Discussion Alerts setting. You can choose to receive one email for every comment, limit them to once between visits, or turn them off entirely. Same goes for private mail.
Call me stupid, but I don't understand what you are asking.
I can understand some of the time-lag stuff, but as (you) a long standing member I'd expect you to desribe the problem better.
'unsubscribing' can take a while for it to filter thru. Would it not haver been better to PM one of the admin folk ? I can't offer a solution, becaause the question baffles me. By asking an open question, you have now just increased the problem.
Maybe I misunderstand. You can edit your profile as to what (and how frequent) you get notified of stuff. If dersired, you can pretty much stop all CR4 update stuff.

It's going to take some pushing, but that is a seriously good answer !
You've just prompted me to think, it would be fun if CR4 allowed us to
cast a ' 10 point vote' once each month for something we thought well
worth reading. Nice one .
Agh...it's happening.....I'm having too many ideas !! It would be
great to have some sort of vote for thread/discussion of the year. The
voting system already exists, but I'm sure many people would look back
over the previous 12 months and could consider which one was the best.
We only get one vote per thread, so can't express much more what we all
consider to be well worth the read. 'Post/Topic/Contributor of the Year'
type thing. I'm a little scared of what people might want to call the
CR4 Oscars, but it would be a fun 'end of year' thing. I'm hoping that
if the idea takes off, there may be a category for off-topic rambling.
I'd say more, but have some strange urge to go clear some shelf space .
Can't give you a '10', but have a well deserved GA vote. You just lightened my day with some humour and wisdom .

I hope you can back that up - I thought Zeppo was rather a good one to add on. Is it not acting and engineering ? Sorry to say, but you started it, and with a very obvious example. Citing Heddy is rather 101. Care for some more ? I do believe I can up you on this.

Offstage, Marx had great mechanical skills and was largely responsible for keeping the Marx family car running. Marx later owned a company which machined parts for the war effort during World War II, Marman Products Co. Inglewood, CA, later known as the Aeroquip Company. This company produced a motorcycle, called the Marman Twin[8] and the Marman clamps used to hold the "Fat Man" atomic bomb inside the B-29 bomber, Bockscar.[9] He also founded a large theatrical agency with his brother Gummo, and invented a wristwatch that would monitor the pulse rate of cardiac patients and give off an alarm if they went into cardiac arrest.[9]
That's it, the gauntlet is thrown! The bell has been rung.
I may have to bring the full force of LynDoor™Industries to bear on this.
Yet another example of e-mail having had its day as a means of business communication.

We ARE doing something useful.
We are entertaining those less fortunate than we, who have neither friends, nor imagination, while enlightening those less knowledgeable and worldly among the unwashed masses.
