Email Notification
While I like being able to know when a thread has a new response, it can be a bit cumbersome on your inbox if your away fro a day or two.
Isnt the notification feature supposed to only notify you once if there is a post, cause I have been getting 5-6 or more emails re: any post. And, i am not checking the post in between emails being sent, so i should only be getting one right?. Just a thought.
Anyhow, I'd just like to say thanks to all you guys who keep this place up to the level it is. What a wonderful resource! thanks. Louis

Ah yes, could be.... since the first, I have gotten about 350-400 emails from LQ and i know i have not gone to all those threads all those times. So, you may be right, cause I'm sure i log a couple times a day....atleast.
BTW: this is an observation, not a complaint.

Just to clarify, dalek is correct. You will receive a notification if you have visited the board (not the thread).
