This tutorial shows you how to change from the default setting of receiving an email each time someone posts to a forum to which you are subscribed to a new setting of receiving an email digest (one email per day) of the posts. (If you are receiving digests and wish to receive individual posts, simply follow this tutorial but in Step 3, change your setting to "Default (No digest)".)

Changing Forum Email Notification Preferences
Step 1

In the upper right-hand corner of the screen, click on your photo (or your initials if you haven't uploaded a profile photo).

Once you make your choice, it will save automatically, and you can update other forums on this page as well.
