How do I shut off email notifications for every topic, I just wanted to subscribe to one thread however I did something wrong, I can't find the option in the "my controls'; area.
Find the link near the top of the page for "My Controls', then find 'Subscriptions' on the left and 'View Topics'. You can unsubscribe from any subscribed topic notifications there.
Then go to 'Options' > 'Email Settings' (again, on the left) and uncheck 'Enable 'Email Notification' by default?.'
