I seem to have a high-profile MySpace account, I guess, because I get a lot of comments and friend requests. Problem is, they all end up in my regular work mailbox, which is bad. I seem to recall there’s a way to turn off notifications of MySpace events, but I have no clue how to do so. Help!?
I know just what you mean, as you can see here:
That’s about 12 hours worth of activity in MySpace, and while it’s fun to see what my friends are doing, it does clutter up my regular mailbox. Fortunately it can be fixed, as you suspect!
When you log in to your MySpace account, you doubtless see something like this:
Click on “My Settings” and you’ll see the desired option three down:
You can see it’s “Notifications” and if you check the box, you’ve selected “Do not send me notification emails”. Sounds likely, but let’s double check by clicking on the tiny “help” link adjacent to the description.
Here’s what it explains:
Sounds perfect. I’m going to check that box and click “Change” to save my settings. If you do the same, you should be saved from a never-ending flurry of MySpace notification messages!
Hope that helps you out. If you have the time, I have lots of additional MySpace Help on this site too.
Okay, maybe this worked once upon a time, but not now. I can’t find anything as obvious as “account settings”. I can’t even get the damn site to load my photos enough to delete them all (which you have to do one at a damn time!), it just stalls out, or clicks on them or one of the dozens of ads when I’m trying to get it to scroll further right to the next photos. Can’t find anything like “account settings”, just an “edit profile” button which is just trying to get me to enter personal info about myself. It’s so graphics intensive now I can’t get it to do anything iwthout sitting and thinking for a few minutes, probably most of the time is spent calculating and loading whatever god-damn ads it wants to show me. I only clicked on it to shut off the stupid “Contact” notifications I keep getting from naked women, and I decided I ought to delete all the old photos on their because they show people I know who might not want those images online anymore. I’ve been messing with it for a couple hours now, and am about ready to just delete the whole account as the easiest way out.
I’d like an answer to the opposite! I really enjoyed finding all those notifications from my new band site, and they helped me organize my friends. Then one day they mysteriously, and without warning, stopped. I changed no settings or anything.
I’ve e-mailed tech support a half dozen times and all I get is their stupid automated reply telling me how to STOP receiving notifications – I KNOW HOW THIS WORKS ALREADY! I have every single box checked to receive mail, and nothing. Any ideas?
Thanks! Finnaly someone posted the help I needed. No more stupid annoying Myspace notifications! YAY
