amber - you have to click on submit at the very bottom - I will change your setting to be NO instant e-mails AND you will not be subscribed to any threads you start or post to - you will have to go to Quick Links and then click on New Posts to see any activity. If you want to change it in anyway click on Quick Links, Edit Options, go to the second paragraph, pull down menu, and select what you want to receive/not receive - and then click Submit at the very bottom of the page - that may be what where the problem is.
