I'm having the same problem. Like I'm not subscribed to the tattoo thread, but just got an email for it. I checked my settings and all boxes appear to be unchecked.

First - make sure you're not subscribing to new ones. Then, I find that the only way for me to stop the old ones from coming, Kyle....is when an email arrives, just click the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email. You'll have to do this for a while until the old ones are out of the pipes. :bug:

I think that is too complicated for me to fix.

I finally got the ads and images to fit perfectly to mobile browsers (specifically iPhone and iPad).

Try now, you may have to purge the cache.
What's not fitting exactly? I just don't have a droid around to test.

For those curious, there are two basic rules to photos now that happen int he background.
Then a page loads,
Images over 800 px wide or 700 px tall will be resized to those dimensions. A click will show full size in the lightbox.
If the window loads with space for an image smaller than 800px width (like on a phone), th eimage will load as small as it needs to fit the width of a window.

So, my advice when posting images on here, anywhere from 640 to 800px wide or up to 700 px tall is ideal to minimize resizing, but if you post a huge image, the system should automatically make it fit anyways.

Just the Amazon banner. It's on the right side of the screen, so when you click to change pages or other stuff on the right side, the screen in that area lights up and it takes you to the Amazon page.

I think I can fix that...Which amazon banner? The camping one or the one that shows products mid-topic, or the product ones at the bottom?

NYFalls.com has been migrated to a CDN (Content Delivery Network) - Basically a cloud service that uses machines from around the world to serve up the content as needed.
This means much faster performance, pretty much no downtime, reliable connections, more bandwidth for more photos and video.
This is still being tested... and if you notice anything wacky going on, please let me know.
Thanks everyone for buying things through the amazon links and helping to cover the cost of this service

Although i can't directly measure the increase in performance, i immediately notice that the site is very responsive (no more waiting after clicking a link). Seems like money well spent. Thanks again for supporting our sponsors and buying through the amazon link to help pay for cool upgrades like this.

None of the threads are loading past the uppermost part of the page. i.e. only the first post and the amazon ad. My browser says its done loading "but with errors". Happens with Internet Explorer and Safari.
