This only works sometimes, or not at all.
I recently checked the box so that I could keep track of a thread that interested me.
When I lost interest I unchecked the box (being careful to save) but the emails keep coming.
This has been happening for a very long time with a large number of different forums.

this was the only thing that doesn't work....
My login session says that I logged on 12 days ago meanwhile I logged in today.
Answer by the site staff: server delay: "ProZ.com uses multiple servers to handle user traffic and some delay is normal. "
12 days ... must be a space-time server delay.
Maybe your problem is also caused by server delay.
If I receive certain emails via the site there is a dmarc and spf related warning message:
"This email has failed its domain's authentication requirements. It may be spoofed or improperly forwarded!"
My availability (I'm not the only one who experienced this) was changed by someone to red/non-available 2 times, now fortunately it seems to work....

I’ve just checked this thread box and I’ll uncheck it tomorrow to see what happens…

The un-check only works if someone else started the topic. For some unknown reason, you can't opt out from topics you started yourself.

So this is something that needs to be fixed. If I start a topic I should be able to stop receiving notifications about it. Many topics go on and on and wander completely away from the original subject. The OPs will not necessarily want to keep tracking them.

| I've had the opposite problem for months | Feb 28, 2018 |
If I check that I want to follow a forum post, even one I've posted on, I get no email tracking messages at all. I reported it in a support request, but it seems nothing was done about it and the problem persists.

All the more reason to fix it. I'm sure it would be easy to do.

If that really bothers you and ProZ can't/won't do anything to address the issue, then you could still create rules to move incoming mail with a specific subject (e.g. 'Reply to topic [X]') directly to "Trash" or delete it altogether.

Yes; I often do that with unwanted emails but in this case it might be better to report it directly to Proz as a glitch (if I can find out how to do that and despite Daniel's bad experience, documented above!)

I didn't mean specifically you. Thanks for volunteering though.
All right, I'll stop here, lest Tom's mailbox is flooded needlessly.
