Resolved Email preference won't save

[Kat]

Every time I uncheck this box and press save, it reloads the page with it checked again.



Oddly, I don't think I've received any emails though, even when everything was checked by default.

Yeah, we're having some issues with the mail server at the moment, I need to fix that ASAP. As for the button not staying unmarked, that's odd!

 

[Kat]

Also IMO it shouldn't have any email notifications checked by default, that should always be opt in. I would've been incredibly irritated to find my inbox full of that. I might be in the minority on that opinion, though.

 

[Crystal]

Yeah, that's a valid point. I'll see if we can unmark those by default.

It's so cool new posts show up automatically while looking at the thread instead of having to refresh!

Yeah, I love that feature, it takes WebSocket technology to work, but it's absolutely worthwhile

Hmm, it won't let me disable those fields by default, they stay defaulted to checked on. I'll put a feeler out on the XF forums and see if there's a way to switch that up without breaking things

Also, can you try unchecking the same box here and see if it stays: https://gwforums.com/index.php?account/preferences

I think I figured this part out. There were a few options scattered through the user registration area that would have affected this. Emails are now off by default, but push notifications and alerts remain on by default. Email verification would be unaffected when you sort out the mail server issue.

Perfect! Thanks @Mark

I went back to see if this is still an issue, and was able to check/uncheck and save any variation of preferences I could come up with. I’m going to mark this as resolved, but I’ll leave it open for now just in case you’re still having issues on your end, @Kat.

Yep, it worked that time. Weird.

Awesome. Another one closed out.
