When I receive the notice of a new post in a thread I subscribed to the link in the email doesn't take me to the post/thread. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or what. The link below shows the page I'm directed to. What say ye?

The system sends out an email that has the unsubscribe link first. Don't know why. You've got to look well at it before clicking or you'll get the unsubscribe instead of seeing the post you want to see. Guess how I found this out... :-D

Just checking... (nt)

So, here's what to look for...

The second link I mention above reads as follows:

URL of this posting: https://sixshootercommunity.com/forum/index.php?id=67985

The first URL is preceded by this text:

If you do not want to get informed about replies to your entry anymore, please use the following link to unsubscribe from the notification.

I don't know why they put that first, it ain't "logical" to MY mind. But that's the way it is, and I don't know how to change it.

So, here's what to look for...

Now I understand. I have been using the first link instead of the second. Thanks Paul.

It took me a while to figure it out...

MOST such messages I've seen have the link you WANT to follow at the top, then if you'd like to unsubscribe you've got the option at the bottom. I've NO idea why they did it "backwards"...
