Good thinkin, Gold1locks!....although I've just received a 'notification email' as a result of a message being posted on the 'weather thread', but none for yours & figrat's re this thread.

As  said in my previous message, my tick box/'email me when a response is made' is default set to remain blank in the reply box.

What's the weather like in your area?

Really dire here in the Midlands today....teeming down & strong winds.

I'm visiting Bakewell (the Peak District) tomorrow, so fingers crossed for some improvement...the forecast looks promising!

Many thanks, FloBear. Yes (as I said) I thought I had it sussed, but that 'Forum settings' change just changes the   'replies notification' default settings' to off i.e. the reply box appears with 'email me when a response is made' box un-ticked.

I have to say, I'm not getting anything like as many notifications as I was, but I can't quite understand how those that do are getting through.

Btw, I'm with IE Windows 7.

Techie question

Many thanks, figrat....although that is exactly what I am doing (among other things) as I said in my first message.

I'd hate to come back to my inbox after a two week holiday.

New site - bugs

I started a thread 'techie question' about stopping email notification, unfortunately I didn't get a response.

Email notifications.

I did think I'd solved the problem by ticking the appropriate options.....alas, still they come, even when I'm logged off.

As a last resort I may have to cancel my account, although to be honest even doing that doesn't seem to be immediately obvious.

Help!

Techie question

Think I may have sussed it now   

Forum settings 'replies notification' default setting 'off'?

Techie question

Since joining GW (great site) I'm finding the rate that my inbox is filling up with reply notifications a bit bothersome.

I've highlighted the 'off button' in 'email notifications' (message settings) also I'm ticking the 'email me when a response is made' at the bottom of the reply messge' box.

Anything else I should be doing?

cost of entrance to gardening shows

I agree, admission prices are quite exorbitant & a deterrent in many cases.

One show that I could recommend and is fairly reasonably priced (£20 peak visiting times, for an adult) this is The Shrewsbury Flower Show...a really good family day out, with lots of attractions other than gardening exhibits.

My seedlings are damping off because it's so damp even in the greenhouse and short of putting the heater on I don't know what to do to help things - all the windowsills indoors are already full

Morning, HappyByker...damping-off is as a result of lack of ventilation, so I'm not sure a heater would help much.

Here in the Midlands..light showers & sunny spells this morning, which is a big improvement on yeserday's stair rods all day.

onions seeds or onion sets

A couple of pointers re growing onions.

There is a little saying used by gardeners of the old school..'sow the seed on the shortest day & harvest on the longest'. Now I'm not sure just how true that is, but I would say it's a little late to sow the seed now.

Growing from sets is more successful if you buy heat-treated sets. These have been kept in cold-store prior to purchase, *which has the effect of kidding them it's spring when they are sold, enabling them to get off to a good start.

Another tip, don't plant them into cold soil...this is the single biggest cause of bolting.

*The same principal as prepared hyacinths for Christmas.
