Seems like it used to be I'd get an email every day telling me which threads I've participated in had an update, and I liked that because it would remind me to check those threads when I visited the site. For the past several weeks, or maybe months, it seems like I get an email any time any thread gets updated. They're back to back in my inbox when I check my email, sometimes a dozen a day. What happened? Should I just unsubscribe or is there a way to change the frequency they notify me of updates?

I have personally never used this feature, nor do I have any direct control over it. Looking at proboards support, there is currently an issue with the e-mail feature, but it tends to be having the opposite effect of what you describe: "We're currently sorting out issues that are preventing our notification email delivery system from sending every single queued email. It's possible that you're unfortunately suffering from the effects of these problems, in which case nothing was done wrong on your end. If you have an email notification setting enabled you should be receiving those emails so long as everything is working correctly on our end." You may want to chime in on the discussion and inform them of your experience. I don't know how many other users here utilize the e-mail notification feature: support.proboards.com/thread/562006/email-updates-updated-threads

I found it in my settings under notifications. It was set to "smart" instead of "Daily"
So I guess the frequency of their smart setting changed. All cleared up now

Weird, this setting seemed to suddenly have reset for me. Anybody else have the same? Yes. I noticed it too. It seems to be an issue occurring across all proboards forums, as I am getting notifications from other proboards sites all of the sudden too. In short, I'm sure proboards is aware of this. If it continues, I'll check in with them and see what's happening.

I'm getting mails again. Anybody else have the same issue? Not me this time. Is there a commonality in the threads you're receiving e-mails about (bookmarked, threads you participated in, etc)?

I received a mail for new threads that had been created (see below). From the threads mentioned in this mail, I've participated/read only one.
" New threads have been created in the following boards: Board: Classic Comics Discussion The 1950's Sub-Mariner TV Show That Never Happened The 1950's Sub-Mariner TV Show The 1950's Sub-Mariner TV Show Board: Community Discussion The Kitty Korner The age old cosmic question: What if you could time travel? "
I received this mail last night (4 AM CET), didn't receive them for the last couple of months.

It was set to weekly in the notifications settings, but I didn't change those settings; this was more an issue of "Hey those settings have changed again without me doing something" and the last time that happened it was boardwide.
