Hi,
I just re-visited our notifications config only to find that most default emails are now active where we had turned them off.

Is that a change implemented in a recent update? For us the change happened on 3rd October. The reason I know this is that our emails went up to the server limit on that day and now we're being blocked by mail servers for being on a spam list?
I can't tell if I ran an update on that day but I normally run them a day or so after release.

Cheers
Gary
Hi there,

It seems that after update, we do added new settings that is 'Enable E-mail Notifications' and this setting are not on previous version. So during update/upgrade, those setting will be added and enabled by default.

Thanks for your understanding.

Hi,
This doesn't seem to reflect my experience.
While I now notice the email notifications option, I had previosuly disabled almost all emails for all events except a few.
Today I notcied they were all "re-enabled" against my knowledge and without warning.

I have since disabled them again but please consider such things before introducing such drastic changes to the system.

Kind regards
Gary

I am not sure how this happened actually. I believe someone should have enabled it for you. Or did you do any updated on your site again?

No this was due to an an update from StackIdeas. We had explicitly turned off most email as I have already explained.
No-one else here to turn them.
