When you register there is a setting you can check called "Receive email from administrators". The same setting can be made in "My Controls" under 'Email Settings' (Send me any updates sent by the board administrator).

Many people change it to "Receive newsletters from the board" or something like that. Because that's basicly what it effects. It doesn't effect any subscriptions, comments, friends request or anything like that. Except the Blog Tracker. You don't get any emails from the Blogg Tracker if you have choosen not to recive emails from the administrators.

Why is this? It doesn't make sense. First it's not consistent. Second, how can members just recive e-mails from the Blogg Tracker without being forced to also recive emails from the admin (newsletters or whatever)..

Correct me if I'm totally wrong, I just don't get it..? wassat.gif

Sounds like it might be a bug? But I believe that setting is a kill all email switch basically (except for PM's if left checked).

If not, maybe for 3.0 under Email Settings
Recieve Emails from Board relating to announcements? Yes [] No [] (for mass mail)
Recieve Emails to notifty of a new personal message? Yes [] No []
Hid Email address from other users? Yes [] No [] <-- Already a feature
Recieve Emails from the Gallery System? Yes [] No [] <-- If installed
Recieve Emails from the Blog System? Yes [] No [] <-- If Installed

**just realized this is in Feedback for IP.Blog, same might be applicable since thats where the email setting for Blog would have to go

Humm, well maybe, becomes alot of settings though. I mean if track a blogg I'm pretty sure you want e-mails, when subscriping to forums/topics (which is basicly the same thing) you don't have a setting like that and it still works fine..

How is it a "kill all emails setting" when it only kills emails from administrators (newsletters) and tracked blogs?

To start with I mostly just want it so when you don't "Receive email from administrators" you still receive from blogs that you are tracking. The way it is at the moment is quit insane in my opinion. I doesn't even seem like a bugg because in emails you get about tracked blogs it says you can stopp these email-notifications by changing the "Receive email from administrators" setting. It should just say "stopp tracking the forum in forumtracker" or something like that.

Maybe someone from the staff could comment this issue? original.gif
