    Eureka! 
    I’ve finally found my own thread. I’ve got to say, I’m not liking this new set up. I didn’t get a gazillion email notifications before they changed it, now I’m getting loads of emails I don’t want :( no idea how you cancel that/change settings. Have they done away with signature? Can’t find it anywhere.  Where’s the dates and times for the posts? 
    Rant over. 
    If anyone can assist. Many thanks :)

  • to turn off notifications...
    click on 'profile' then 'edit profile' then go into 'notification settings' listed on the left [alternatively click the '3 slidey menu lines' in the top right of the box that pops up when you click 'notifications' to get to the same place] & untick in the email column particularly 'Notify me when people comment on my bookmarked discussions' & 'Notify me when people comment on discussions I've participated in' and save

    to edit your signature...
    you want 'edit profile' when you click on profile & then 'signature settings' on the left & if you get to notification settings you will see signature settings on the left

    dates/times on posts has been raised multiple times in the (ever expanding) snagging thread in forum feedback but I wouldn't be expecting anything to change until after the weekend as it seems they have dumped it on us and then !!!!!! off home for the weekend rather than fixing the c0*k ups :((((((( I'm annoyed that notifications are on or off, thats it no digests or instant notifications, most everything seems to be a huge step backwards

    hopefully it all works out soon

    I really miss the digests, I hope they will put them back.

    Still struggling to navigate the new set up. I probably won’t use it half as much if it isn’t as easily accessible.  :(

    I'm not using it half as much either.  It's finding the time to figure it all out as much as anything else.  I don't dislike the new structure, but miss some of the bits that have gone.

    Oh my days. I’ve just logged on for the first time in ages and this new site is much easier to navigate than it was in February. I might actually start posting more again. :smile:
    how is everyone doing? 
    Strange times we are living in. Despite being off work I’ve been very busy. I have a new strategy I’m working on. :smile:
