We replied to one commenter in some detail here:

Library Jim. Go into Your Account, and the e-mail settings button
http://www.kendallharmon.net/t19/index.php/member/edit_email/
There you will see an option
Enable email notifications by default when you post messages

UNCHECK IT. Once you uncheck it, the “notify me of follow-up comments box” will be automatically unselected.

Also, If you have various threads for which you mistakenly had the "notify me of follow-up comments" box checked and for which you want to UNSUBSCRIBE from future comments, you can go into subscription manager, also in your account control panel:
http://www.kendallharmon.net/t19/index.php/member/edit_subscriptions/

There you can unsubscribe from any comment threads you are subscribed to.

Rather than just tell you how to turn off this feature, however, let me also urge folks to read Greg G's comment in the same thread, where he explains more about the e-mail settings for the blog and why some folks may want to keep the "notify me of follow up comments" option checked. Most important is his exhortation:

I strongly recommend everyone spend a few minutes poking around in their control panel. You can do a lot to customize the way you experience the site.

Note, what Greg refers to as the "control panel" is accessed with the "Your Account" link, which you can see once you have logged in. You must be a member and logged in to see it. The "Your Account" link is up at the top of the sidebar, above the search box and calendar.

That's it for today's lesson. Feel free to let us know what tips and lessons would be helpful. You'll be able to find all these "Tips" posts by searching on "Blog Tip" or the Admin Category. --elfgirl
