    Angry Notifications are "off" by default??

    When first I signed up to world-of-satellite.com I was getting no notifications from threads I had posted to. Can we change this please?
    When you sign up "Default Thread Subscription Mode:" should be "Through my control panel only".
    and "New Private Message Notification Pop-up:" needs to be set to "Show New Private Message Notification Pop-up".

    You can change this in your Forum account settings, we won't be setting any new defaults.

    Please stop abusing the report button. If you made a mistake, just post in the thread correcting it. If you feel the need for it to be edited, ask in the thread.

    My guide threads are locked to prevent people asking for support in them. Just start your own thread.

    May I remind you to read this

    There are no notifications for replies to threads. However when you click on "Whats New" near the top you will see a green mark on any thread that you have posted in.

    you can subscribe to threads. you then pick how and when you are notified.

    I much prefer the method/defaults on this forum than others where you auto subscribe to any threads you respond in, with instant email notifications.

    what?! that's like they're DDOS'ing your emails. There's no way they wouldn't know what an activation email is, unless they thought it was a scammers spoof email trying to steal their credentials.
