John,
I'll try and answer your 3 questions here:
1) Try and disable the "Favorites" option if you like. That one sends an e-mail for ANY/ALL replies in a thread, while the other sends e-mails to replies to your personal posts only. Also, see below for another idea. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
2) The "Subscription" feature sends you a daily digest of all messages that have been posted in the specified FORUM for all Threads; not the entire Board (all forums and threads).
3) The "read" feature change may be indicative of a corrupt "cookie", which also may be the cause of your first problem with e-mail notifications. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/scratchchin.gif" alt="" /> So.....
This was going to be my next recommendation if nothing was found in my previous suggestions to be wrong. And, I would suggest you do this now.
- Go to "My Home"
- Scroll down to the very bottom of the page to the "Main Configuration" table
- Click on "My Cookies"
- Follow the prompts (very simple)
- Login after the process ends as instructed
What this does is delete your current "Cookie", which contains your login information and preferences and creates a new one. After you do that, you might want to disable the "e-mail notifications for replies to YOUR posts" and use only the "Favorites" feature as you had set originally to see if it then works, unless you prefer the feature which only sends notifications for replies to YOUR posts only.
Let me know if things work and/or if you continue to experience any further anomalies.
