Bring it on.
DaveMcD, I'm not afraid of you just because you can blast me from your newly acquired and refurbished orbiting asteroid bases. :silly:

:laugh:
best typo ever.

I dunno how it's supposed to work but
when I reply to a post (one I didn't start)
I get an email every time anyone else posts.
I'm not sure if this is what is supposed to happen.

Same here, I get emails even if I simply reply to a thread (no option to tick the box-none visible)

Ooops! Didn't spot that! :) :)
I think (hope!) people know what I meant!
Otherwise, we could be in for a very unusual dual!
:blush:

At the very bottom and very top of each thread is a red button labelled "Unsubscribe" or "Subscribe"
(has a little white flag next to it)
Hit the button if it says "Unsubscribe" and it will unsubscribe you from that thread.
Personally, I think it is a bit of a pain to have to do this for every thread I reply to.
IMHO, it sort of penalises regular users to the boards with spam for the benefit of the non-regular users.
Hopefully Darragh and Seanie can get the new software loaded up as soon as it is released.

Damn - I didn't realise it was a typo. What'll I do with four cabbages, a six pack of heinz beans and a large bag of sprouts? Answers on a postcard please...

People wanted a topic notification of some sort in place to notify them of when a topic started, or a reply to a thread was logged, in order to keep pace when not available to log in.

Now you DON'T want that. The old system you all miss was this way. You were automatically subscribed, and you had to de-select that. Then it was changed due to complaints. Then it was changed back. Guys, we're going to go round in circles here.

Until Darragh gets the new release, when it is available, he can't please everybody. I don't think a poll is in order.

Just my two cents worth.
