You can access your account by using the Log-In box at the bottom of the right-hand margin.
Having never used it myself, I don't know the answer to your getting copies of all comments and not just the ones on the one thread. I'll investigate.

P.S. Asking a legitimate question is not spamming the forum.

Erik,
I had this problem yesterday. I posted two threads in quick succession and ticked the Notify boxes on each. I got flooded with about 100 emails from those and other threads in the FV forum. I think you can just click on the link in one of the emails and then tick an Unsubscribe box on the page that comes up in the browser. I had to do it twice, I think because I posted twice with the Notify box checked. I clicked on the link a third time, and the system said I was no longer subscribed. The email flood subsided shortly afterward. Seems like a bug.
Good luck,

It seems to working fine for me, but it's possible that somehow you have been subscribed to the Comments stream - which is something that a registered member of the site can choose to receive. You can turn it off by logging in to your account (the log-in link is at the bottom of the right margin).
Btw the follow up comment emails I received had an unsubscribe link at the bottom.

Aha -- thank you, Mark. That was the thing I hadn't noticed. By following those links, I was able to unsubscribe fine.
Still strange that I was receiving *all* forum comments, not just for the one thread I had subscribed to. That's probably a bug in SquareSpace's server -- nothing to do with you. And now that I've unsubscribed, the problem has gone away.
Thanks!

Sorry to spam the "General" forum, but I'm not sure where else to put this...
I made a posting to the "FV" forum, and clicked on the "Notify me of follow-up comments via email" checkbox so that I would receive a notification when a reply was posted. But I'm now receiving an email for *every* new posting to the FV forum, not just replies to my original posting. Worse, I can't seem to turn the notifications off, because I don't need to log in any more and so there's no way of identifying myself as the author of the original posting. My in-box is filling up with dozens of unwanted notifications, and I can't seem to turn them off -- I could set up an email filter to automatically delete any forum emails, but surely there's a better way.
Is this a bug, or have I missed something obvious?
Thanks,
- Erik.
