How do I stop getting notified about new posts?

[John Worrall]

Every time someone submits a new question, I'm getting an email about it.

I've found in my notification settings that I can unsubscribe to all of the posts, but I'd like to not be automatically subscribed to them in the first place.

How do I turn that off?

Hi @John Worrall Go to the front of the group page. Below the description on the right, click the button "Unwatch". That will turn off email notifications :)

The button says "Watch".

I misunderstood. Here's what you do:

1. Click on your profile pic, choose Manage Settings

2. Click on the tab Notifications

3. Click the button below named Settings

4. Uncheck the box Automatically watch anything I participate in

Excellent, thank you.

@John Worrall and @lbonding 

"Automatically subscribe me to all group hubs that I join" is the setting that got you subscribed to all posts in this group.  So make sure to turn that one off. 

"Automatically watch anything I participate in" will only give you follow ups on threads when you actually post something.  So that's much less noisy.

Thank you.  I hadn't seen my settings before, so I think it defaulted to spamming me.
