This has been an annoyance of mine for a long time so thought it was time to ask. Am I the only one that gets forum email notifications (new topics, replies to messages etc) regardless of how I have the email settings in my control panel set? Yesterday I tried unticking ALL the email settings and I still got a bunch of email notifications since.
I don't mind getting emails to inform me if someone replies to a topic I've taken part in but getting an email for every new topic that's posted is a nuisance.

Well just to update, after trying everything and giving up, I discovered the problem by pure chance when looking through my forum settings for something else. For some reason I was subscribed to the entire software section of the forum, so every new post and reply in the software section was sending an email notification to me, even though I had all email settings disabled. A strange quirk of the forum software I presume.
So having now removed that subscription (that I don't remember ever setting) all is well again and forum is finally only notifying me of replies to topics I've taken part in. Took a while but got there in the end
