Bug reports, problems, glitches

If something isn't working right tell us about it here. To help us fix the issue please let us know:

Which board you were in?
What were you doing?
What went wrong?
Was it a one off or a repeat?

screenshots of error messages and what have you are also really useful.

The defaults are to get email notices whenever someone replies to a thread you are watching. I found the switches in "Preferences" but I'm still getting notices to my email when people respond to the Wassup thread (and some others, not totally sure but that's the busiest). Could be I'm doing something wrong, probable even?

try unwatching the problem threads then rewatching them... i have a suspicion that changing the options only applys to threads you watch from hereon

That worked, thanks!

Oh good, I've been having this same issue and have been inundated with email notifications

I don't see the banner change, FYI! It still says Xeno Forum or something.

I had a reply post in my fiction thread 'Disease' that couldn't be read in dark mode because all of the text was showing black. I don't know what I did, but I assume I did it. I deleted and reposted and I think it worked. Could someone please check the last post in the thread for me? Pretty please?

The last post looks fine in normal mode. I'm not sure how to activate dark mode.

Just figured it out, furthest down on the website there is a sort of half circle, one click on that and you can activate dark mode. And @Trish your post looked fine there as well.

I use normal mode too, but I did change it in settings when @Naomasa298 brought it to my attention, but it still looked fine to me until I refreshed. In dark mode it still looks good to me now that I redid it, even after I refreshed, but I'm worried now lol. Thank you for checking it!

The progress journals are visible to non-members

(I was on a diff computer and, before logging in, was able to go to my Progress Journal)

 

[big soft moose]

on it

ETA sorted - non members now can't even see that the progres journals exist

Note that when we get the contests up non members will be able to see that they exist but not the content likewise for the workshop... we want non members to know they are there to help them decide to sign up... having them completely invisible is less than optimal

Unfortunately, this is happening to me too ... and I already unticked the three "email alert" check-boxes (see below).



I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but I've no idea what. Any ideas?

Same for me. My inbox is so full I'm considering abandoning it. /joke. Kinda.

I dont know what kind of email you have... but for my gmail, it collected all the unopened WF emails and asked me if i wanted to unsubscribe....
I clicked that button and no further emails.

Although, i did notice that i stopped getting Alerts ON HERE for my watched threads. So i unwatched and watched them again and now everything works as it should
(No emails/ still having Watched Thread alerts)

I primarily use outlook, but I was hoping to avoid unsubscribing. If there's no other way I will though, thank you.

I clicked no email on preferences, but still received email notifications on two threads. I followed Moose's suggestion, unwatched the threads, clicked watch again and have received no further emails except those I chose to keep.
