Hi, for a couple of weeks now I've got e-mail notifications. I am not aware of having changed any settings in my profile but virtually overnight I started to receive them at the beginning of may. Were there any changes in the board? I have checked my settings yesterday, changed one setting (I did not even know that it existed...), but nevertheless this morning I got new mails. And what is more: I get the mails twice, as if once would not be enough...

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
I've had a look into this on the Proboards support forum and it seems they have been introducing some options for notifications. They have been rolling it out gradually so it could be that your notifications got messed up when they introduced the new options on here.
It could be that you have fixed it now that you have changed the setting in your profile, apparently there might be a delay if there were some notifications queued up.
If you still have a problem: What are the notifications for? When you get two emails, are they identical?
I found out that the 'smart' setting means you only get one notification for a thread until you visit the thread.
Is anyone else having a problem?

The mails are identical, sent at the same time. First ones I got 9th May. These are weekly notifications of new threads of the previous week.
Will have to wait till the next week to see if something changes. But I just saw that at the end of the mails there is some "button" to unsubscribe. But this is stupid as I did not subscribe... and a change in my profile settings should be enough. Well, let's see what happens.

Just to add I've not had anything recently - I did get a random email a while ago but I just logged in and changed my settings. No idea if it was something I set up myself before or if it was triggered by an update?

OK, let me know next week and I can definitely report it if it is still a problem.

Yeah, I've got several notifications of new posts on the forum in my email as well. I, too, was surprised to find these, and thought it a little strange. I'll have to have a look into my own settings/preferences.

Great.
I've made a thread about this in Forum News section and put instructions for changing notification settings.
