I don't get them either, but I also do not want them......
Go to the user CP and check to see if you are subscribed, I have this option turned off.
There is not that much action here on this forum, so keeping up with new content is very easy. When you come just go straight to New Posts, at least it works for me.
If only I could restart the forum like a computer. That always seems to fix most of my problems.
I yelled at the computer then threatened the forum that I would turn it into a Mustang forum if it didn't behave.
