Hello there One of my users reported me today that he’s receiveing a huge amount of mail notifications from our discourse forum. I signed-in on his account and checked what’s up - it turned out that he has a highest subscribtion level set for all topics in one of our categories. He could obviously …

This sounds like a bug somewhere. Have the user click “unsubscribe” on one of the notifications and then they will have a screen that will hint them to stop watching the category. If the issue is persisting, via user prefs Add category to watching → Save Remove category from watching → Save

As a first step, log in as this user, go to the category, and set the category notification level back to “normal”.

It’s already set like that :wink: It kind of looks like he has changed the subscription level for each topic one by one. Which is impossible imho.

You will need to execute a command at the Rails command line to reset all his notifications. Perhaps @techapj can assist with the details? Are you sure no other users have this problem, perhaps as a result of the migration?

It’s pretty hard to say. Just one guy reported it so far but i can’t really check it anyhow.

Just to clarify, because the language is important here: this user has watching notification level set on thousands of topics?

Yup, exactly, that’s the case.
