[PDAPhoneJunkie]

Frosty, the link was dead. It was directing me to ppcgeeks.com/ the thread and not forum.ppcgeeks.com You might want to check the link. Also, every thread I post in I get a sub to...

Thanks frosty.

I also find email notifications incredibly annoying...

PLEASE go through your subscriptions here and delete ones that you no longer need.

You can see if you're setup for email notifications by looking in the Notifications column.

You can delete multiple subscriptions by using the check boxes on the right side and using the drop-down box at the bottom.

Please do this as soon as you can, especially if you're subscribed to any large threads that gets lots of replies.

Also, please try to do this every once in a while to help the server load. Help us help you

Thanks!

EDIT: Also make sure you check all pages. There's probably more than one page of subscriptions.

EDIT 2: If you have alot of subscriptions and you know you don't want any of them, post a reply in this thread and ask me to delete them all, I can do it with the click of a button.

DONE!! that was a cool way to own us =P

This works for me. Thanks.

Great job on the site =D>and I figured there had to be something bogging down your servers because I have received numerous 'server is too busy' which is (as I know all too well) a webmaster's nightmare .

I hate e-mail notifications; I check constantly on my USERCP for updates but hate e-mail notices.

Some people said this and some said it started working fine...as long as you view this thread it should go away. It might depend on how you access the site.

If you access it through ppcgeeks.com I think you get a dead link, but if you use forum.ppcgeeks.com it'll work. Or it should work once you click on the Forums link at the top of the page.
