Hi,

According to my settings in the Preferences section, i’m supposed to get a mail notification only when i’m mentionned in the topic, but I keep receiving mails all the time.  
Would you know why ?

Not that it bothers me, but I’m always distracted by all interresting topics that are discussed in this forum. I can’t stop myself from clicking every linked topic 😄
