Thanks to everyone for the invaluable information and wonderful photos. I often want to complement or comment on photos, but rarely do because this results in my mail box becoming clogged with others’ nice comments. So, is there a way to comment on a photo without being deluged with other ones?

Just uncheck the box under the “Quick reply:” text box.

You may go to "My Profile" at the top of the page, scroll down to "Notifications" and uncheck being notified by email.

In addition to what Orrie said: you always have the "watched topics" link (top of any UHH page) when you come on UHH. From there you can choose whether to look for an acknowledgement from the OP, read other comments, and select "unwatch" the topic at any point. I quit the email notifications within a week of joining UHH!

I'm selective about which ones I want to hear back from. I can use either the Quick Reply at the bottom, or click on Unwatch at the top of the page. When I've gotten all the responses I want, I click on the email link to discontinue emails on that topic.

I also believe you can un-check the box next to the "Send" icon below where you enter the text ... it's labeled "(after replying, watch this topic)". I believe if you un-check the box, you won't get notices.

My "problem" was that for several years I commented on 20 - 30 topics a day + posted 300 topics of my own in year 1 (fewer each year since ).

Make your comment then click on the unwatch button and you will not receive further notices.
I do this on topics that get beyond the OP or become boring or repetitive to me.

Here is an alternative idea.

You will only get one reply per topic until you go back to UHH and view the topic.

It is easy to clear the mailbox of all the replies. Simply search for "Topic Reply" in the Subject, then select and delete all the replies.

After that you can go to Watched Topics on UHH and select the topics you wish to reply to and continue following.

Thanks all for your advice from a computer idiot!
