I keep getting email notifications for private messages and when someone replies to a thread. I DO NOT check the box that says "Notify me of replies via email" so why does it do it anyway? Is there an option for my profile somewhere that I can make it so DaFont doesn't send me any emails? Thanks.

You always receive an email for bookmarked topics and private messages; if you don't want to receive emails, unbookmark the topics (click on the star again) and disable the private messages in your account...
