  Hi, I don't mind getting an email for invites and friend requests but today I posted in a group and I got an email for everyones comment.  Is there a way to turn that off so I wouldn't get so many emails?  If it is a topic or group that I am following I don't need to get an email everytime.  Thanks for any instuctions on how to make this stop!

  There are a couple of things you can do. One would be to go into your settings and change your notification setting. The other would be to uncheck the box that says "send me notifications when other members reply to this topic" under the reply box.

  Thanks Melina, when you comment on an ongoing thread in the groups, there is no checkbox but I will check out my settings.  Ok, call me dumb but I looked all over my profile page and I can't find settings anywhere.  If someone could point me to that I would appreciate it.  Thanks!

  At the very top of the page there's a small icon next to the "Favorites" link on the left. Click that (should be Settings) You will see the "Notifications" option on the top bar. Next to Groups, uncheck the boxes that you don't want to get notifications on.

   

  Hope that helps!

  That's true.  There is no box in groups  (just here in the forum).  You would have to go into your settings to change the group notifications.  Lexie gave you the instructions. 

   

  My inbox was being bombarded with messages and notifications, too, from a variety of sites.    It was driving me crazy, but, at the same time, I didn't want to miss out in the notifications.  So now I have three email addresses:  one for personal, one for business and one for blogging.  It's helped out tremendously and I feel a lot calmer now that my email notification isn't constantly going off.
