Customizing Your Mail Settings

I wanted to make sure you are aware that you can customize your mail settings for CSI so that you don't become annoyed by a flood of email from our site.

There is a way to completely turn off the emails, but you may want to be selective so that you don't miss out on messages you may want to receive. Here's how to customize your mail settings:

1. Click Settings (in red on the right sidebar beneath your name, near the top).

2. Click Email (on the left sidebar, in red, under "My Settings").

3. Uncheck any email notifications you do not wish to receive.

At the bottom is the option to turn off all emails, but like I said, you may want to leave a few checked. The following are ones you might want to consider leaving checked:

a personal message (these will be messages from other CSI members, like a mailbox)
a message from CSI (these will be messages from me, announcing reveals and any special updates)
a comment on my page (this tells you when people have left comments on your CSI wall)
my content is featured (soon we will be putting gallery items "Under Surveillance"--i.e., featured, and won't it be fun to know if you're chosen?)
on items I add (this will let you see if people respond to threads you start in the forum or on layouts you add to the gallery)

I hope you find this message helpful. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions, either by sending me a message or by posting a question here or in the "Interrogation Room" forum.

ETA: One of the members said she had tried the above and was still getting notifications, so I contacted Ning, and here is their reply:

Hey Debbi,

This is most often a symptom of a browser related problem. Sometimes, installations of Internet Explorer can't handle that page well or JavaScript could be disabled or blocked. I'd suggest that your member try swapping to a different browser (I like Firefox - getfirefox.com) and testing again. You can also have them check http://help.ning.com/?faq=3862 for more troubleshooting options.

Thanks!
Ioana

Please let me know if you've tried everything in this message and you're still experiencing issues. I don't want anyone to be frustrated by my site!
