In this blog, I will show you all about some new settings we have here for you on www.CerealKillaz.Org, including a way for you to turn OFF the auto-subscribe feature many of you have been complaining about.

Member Email Notifications

We are continuing our improvements to the e-mail notifications users receive for activity related to them within the site. Users can now receive notifications to their email for updates to conversations they are a part of, when others comment on content they have added (photos, videos, etc), forum threads they have started, when their content is featured, friend requests and much more. Users can now manage what they receive notifications for from their account settings.

Simply, click on your welcome bar at the top of the page, and select "Edit Profile Settings" which you can see illustrated in the picture above (Click the picture to see a larger version). When you get there, on the left panel, you will see "Email Settings." Simply click there, and adjust your notification settings right there.

Forums

We added the option to edit signatures directly on forum posts. Now users do not need to go to a forum settings page to edit their signature, they can access the feature directly on any of their forum posts. By doing this we have also been able to make it easy for forum moderators to edit an offensive user signature as well.

We have removed the forum avatar option. The user pic shown in the forums is now the same as everywhere else on the site; the user’s profile picture.

Under the forums search box we have replaced the forum settings link with a “My Subscriptions” link. This shows all the current threads the user is subscribed to, gives them quick access to see updates and gives them an easy way to unsubscribe if they desire.

Groups

We have improved the way you approve members that are waiting to join your groups. Now the Approve/Decline option is directly on the page and easily accessible, instead of having to hover over the user pic to see the option. We have also improved group creation to give better feedback for errors when creating a group, such as already having a group by the same name.

As with any major update there is a chance for problems and issues. If you encounter issues please let us know about them by posting a comment here, or by starting a forum thread.
