SPAM from www.ads-software.com forum ‘subscription’

1. When you visit the thread in question, look to the thread details at the top of the sidebar. Is there a “Subscribe” or “Unsubscribe” link?

2. Does the email address on your www.ads-software.com profile match the email address you’re receiving these emails at?

3. What are 2 URLs (only 2) of the threads you are receiving?

1. Yes, and I can SUBSCRIBE, not unsubscribe (well if I subscribe first I can, but my point is: I am not subscribed)
2. Yes

thanks for looking into this

This is rather odd. Would you please verify the first four letters of the email address receiving these? (not the whole email address)

@macmanx: vdho

Thanks, I have passed that up the chain. For now, I recommend just setting a rule in your email to automatically trash these subscription emails. (please don’t mark them as spam, as that could have a negative effect on others who actually want their subscription emails)

I continue to get emails saying I am subscribed to www.ads-software.com topics. Some how I keep getting added subcriptions even though I am not subscribing to them. This is getting ridiculous ……

Have received about 50 emails today from www.ads-software.com, every one of them I click on the lick and unsubscribe. Still I get more and more. Driving me nuts. Wish I could at least go and delete my account at www.ads-software.com …. not that I want to do that.

@moshje: The email you quoted says that you’re subscribed to a theme, not to actual individual threads.

Go here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/theme/morphology-lite/

At the top of that listing, you should see a link that says “Unsubscribe from this theme”.

@mackconsult Would you please provide the same info as was requested earlier in this thread?

Edit: And check on what Otto said just above too.

@mackconsult: As you can see here, you’re subscribed to 4 whole different forums and like 40 or so different topics:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/users/mackconsult/subscriptions/

Visit a forum, like here, for example:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/

Then click on the “Unsubscribe” link in the sidebar. Do that for each forum and thread and you’ll be unsubscribed from those things.

Subscribing to a “forum” gets you everything posted in that forum. So, you might want to unsubscribe from those forums to make the emails stop.

First four letters “ray.m”

Yes I have verified my email address in my profile

Yes every one of these links has the “subscribe” on in the side bar, I am clicking on them and unsubscribing.

@mackconsult You’re still subscribed to those whole forums. You need to unsubscribe from them first.

A forum is the whole section. Everything posted in there will keep getting emailed to you until you deactivate those main subscriptions.

@mackconsult I have manually unsubbed you from all those forums. All you had to do was visit the forums and click the Unsubscribe link.

Well thank you for doing that, I am still confused as to how it happened ….

The only way you can subscribe to a forum is to go into that forum and click the “Subscribe” link in the sidebar.

No, it sais “subscribe to this theme”
