    I go to quite a few forums so I thought I knew about setting the choices in my Control Panel but this site keeps doing two things I can't seem to correct.
    1. I want NO subscriptions yet every time someone answers a thread I've posted in, I receive an email. I don't want emails, I don't want popups; in short, I want no type of notification.
    When I get emails I need to log in and cancel the subscriptions again.
    2. The posts appear from oldest to newest which is what I'm used to and prefer yet as soon as I log in, the sequence changes with the newest posts first and the oldest posts last. I do better not logging in to read the posts.

    Please help me to correct these two annoyances.

    at the top of the page click on user CP. then go to edit options. where it says Default Thread Subscription Mode. change it to do not subscrbe. then save changes at the bottom of the page. at the bottom of the page you are viewing where is says sort order change it to decending. that should fix up your problems.

    A big thanks to both of you. I think I finally have the proper settings in the proper places.
    If not, I always have this post to refer to and try again.
