Unable to unsubscribe from forum spam

[Alerias]

Since the forum switch, switch, every thread I post in sends me email if anyone replies, at this point its a dozen a day. More than my workplace.

At the bottom of the spam / notifications is "If you no longer wish to receive these emails, you may disable emails from this thread or disable all emails."

No matter, if I try to click on either I get this error:

Paradox Interactive Forums - Error
This link is not usable by you.

I'm sure thats a glitch, but I really want that to stop. I dont want any email notifications for my relies. Tips?

Just change your user settings so the forum does not send the e-mails in the first place

That sounds good. Before posting this I clicked on every submenu I could find for such a setting though.

I dont know where the user settings even are, you might as well ask me to type in the nuclear launch codes for free troops It was already hard to find under the old forums but now there's many more.

Plus, honestly, even if I do find it and it works, I figured Paradox would want to know about the "This link is not usable by you." Had I not been a fan for 15 years I'd have just marked them as spam and if enough ppl do that, Google's spam filter starts marking your entire domain as suspicious and it makes you lose priority in Google searches as a possible spammer black site.

AKA: I know more about spam filters than user settings

hover over alerts, and click preferences that pops up at the bottom of that little thing

No idea if it will work, but it's my best guess

No problem.

Click on your username at the top of the page. This opens your user profile {personal details}. At the left is a list, with "preferences" on it, not "alert preferences". Open this and you get a list of checkoffs, uncheck the second [indented] line to stop e-mail alerts.

Be aware that you will still get an email when you get a PM; the email contains the PM. You can also disable that, but I cannot remember how.
