Hi. Thanks for the post. This is how the forum works unfortunately. That's how the software was built by the original creators (not GMAT club's input).
I will be happy to look into what it will take to revise and modify the inner-workings. However, the original forum creators kind of handled it on a topic by topic and forum by forum basis... sorry.
But here is the good thing, you will only get 1 notifications about a reply in each topic. If you are not interested in that topic, as long as you don't visit that topic,
. The same way with forums, but it is much easier to unsubscribe/unfollow forums.
My Frustration: I Cant Unsubscribe EMAIL Notifications for Topics While Retaining Website Notifications.
Details:I went to the notification settings where there are options to enable / disable notifications of various types through email, website, app, etc.
It appears that the ability to DISABLE EMAIL ONLY is locked down for followed topics, forums etc. (see screenshot below)

When I go to individual topics to follow unfollow them, I have to completely unfollow them. I cant continue receiving notifications on site and mobile.
I also tried to use the unsubscribe button on the emails that I receive. It did the same thing - unfollwed the topic completely - no emails + no website notifications.
I do not want my email to be bombarded with every comment on every topic, but I do want to continue to be able to view the notifications when I login to the website.
Am I missing something? Some setting that I overlooked? Any workaround? .... I could setup some rules and filters on my email client, But I would much rather not receive the emails at all.
Or is there any specific reason why the setting is locked down?
I cant say for sure, but my guess is that it would be easy to fix as the button already exists.
PS: I appreciate all the work that is done on GMAT Club. It has been very helpful in my GMAT prep. So thanks!
