The Forum has been Updated
The code has been upgraded to the latest .NET core version. Please check instructions in the Community Announcements about migrating your account.
In the past few weeks, I've had 2 emails from members saying they've received messages like:
XXX has posted to the YYYSITE Forum board that you requested notification on. Regarding the subject - ZZZZ . You can view the posting at SITEURL
though they haven't requested notifications on the topic stated.
Are Notifications stored in FORUM_SUBSCRIPTIONS, please ? If not where are they stored ?
Which script checks whether members have requested notification and how often does it run ? Is the check recurrence configurable ? Which script sends the notification email ?

yes, they are kept in forum_subscriptions, but as an admin you should have a link on the forum menu that allows you to manage them.
Most likely scenario is that they have subscribed to a forum and forgotten, have never heard of any cases where people got subscription emails by mistake.
The emails are triggered when someone posts in a forum that has subscriptions enabled.
