Manage Subscription leads me to a page that says I am denied

#System Administration #DC Feedback

I just recently got a mail regarding the latest and greatest.

I find the mail impossible to read or make any sense of.

At the bottom it says to manage my subscription.

I clicked on the link and it took me to a page that says I am denied.

All the time I am still logged in.

Then, can you tell me how do I manage my subscriptions and stop those impossible emails?

I sure wish we were back to the Google Group, I understood that.

Mike,

I am not sure about the "access denied" message you are seeing - perhaps Paul could comment on that.  However, to manage all of your subscriptions:

1) Log in

2) Click on My Account (top icon bar)

3) Click on the Subscriptions tab

Then I strongly recommend that you click "Settings" and Uncheck "Digest Mode".  The Digest emails are really not very usable (IMHO) and work has been done to make the individual emails more useful - you may find those to be better and closer to what you are used to in the Google Groups (assuming you didn't use Digest in Google Groups).  

Under the "Page / Threads" tab you can unsubscribe to the threads you are no longer interested in.  

I hope that helps.  The email update mechanism has come a long way but it still has quite a ways to go.  There is work that will be commencing shortly to enable HTML based email which should be an improvement as well.
