 not really practical if you're a member of a bunch of busy groups...

does not matter - you receive only one alert by email

I'm sorry--I don't understand. You mean you get every alert--every notification of a forum post, every notification of a new note, every notification of a post or move in a Vote Chess game, and your finished game--in the same post?

Sorry for misunderstanding.

1. 'Game over' email is sent to me usually few minutes after the game ended regardless if I am online or not.

2.'Alert' email is sent only if i am not logged in. And it is only the first alert. E.g. 'It is your turn to move with XX' with a note 'There maybe more games'

So when I log into chess.com I can have several alerts, but only one 'alert' email.

I do get e-mails telling me my games have been paused, if my time is running out in a game. I think that's the only kind of message I get.

Is it possible to receive only the "game over" e-mail? Or does the setting make you get the "alert" e-mail, too? (I'm not entirely clear on what counts as an "alert." Forum comment notifications? Vote Chess comment notifications?)

When I click on Home/Profile, I get an "Edit Profile Info" page, but nowhere on it does it say, "Emails and alerts."

You guessed it

Avatar of gambit-man

weren't we discussing how to do it in v3?

Avatar of hamerkop

No, MindWalk said the emailing of game disappeared years ago and I said I could still received emails in V2

what is the significance of some forum titles being grey and others blue?

I would say they have new posts, under 6 hours old, maybe.

Avatar of gambit-man

Thanks... naturally, i thought it'd be read and unread material, but whenever i click on a blue subject i usually find i've already read it...

Avatar of MindWalk

It would be nice if words were used to tell you what things were instead of making you click on them to try to find out. I can read.

Avatar of MindWalk

hamerkop, that's just not there on mine. A list of chess games, Vote Chess games, messages, group activity--that's what shows up on mine. The same list that's there on my home page.

Avatar of hamerkop

MindWalk, maybe you scroll to the bottom of the page. The submenus are below games, messages, etc

Avatar of hamerkop

Apparently you can set emails on vV3 as well

Avatar of gambit-man

yes, but like i said, you don't really want to do that if you're a member of several busy groups, err... clubs... you'd end up with countless emails...

Avatar of hamerkop

It seems if you selected only highlighted alert, you will receive only emails with new challenges, game over & low on time
