How to Disable Your Facebook E-mail Notifications

deactivate

I was surprised to find out that many of my friends did not know how to disable their Facebook e-mail notifications. This inevitably led to their e-mail account being flooded with hundreds and thousands of unwanted mail. And the best part is, few of my friends went through every one of their e-mail and deleted it.

Actually, there is no reason to have your Facebook e-mail notifications activated, but sadly, Facebook auto activates it and puts many people in the dark as to how to disable it. Maybe it’s a marketing ploy, so that you don’t forget about your Facebook account, don’t you think so?

Anyway, here, I would like to help those who have no clue whatsoever as to the possibility of disabling your Facebook e-mail notifications by guiding you through a step-by-step process that I have prepared using screen shots below (refer to the orange-highlighted lines for what you have to do). Hope it helps you.

Step 1

On your Facebook homepage (or any page for that matter), click on the ‘Account’ tab on the top right hand corner beside the ‘Home’ and ‘Profile’ tab.

Step 2

Once you have clicked on the ‘Account’ tab, a scroll-down menu will appear. There, click on the ‘Account Settings’ tab which is the third tab from the top.

Step 3

This will take you to a new page. Here, click on the ‘Notifications’ tab which is located third from left.

Step 4

Now, you will see a long list of details, all or most of which have the boxes beside them checked. To disable your e-mail notifications fully, uncheck all the boxes. If you want to disable it partially, uncheck those notifications that you want to disable.

Step 5

That’s it! You’re done. Just head over to the bottom of the page and click on ‘Save Changes’. Now you can say good bye to e-mail inboxes laden with unnecessary e-mails from Facebook.

Did that help you? Or do you need more help? Either way, feel free to leave a comment below.

IntenseDebate Commenting Interface

Hey guys. I have decided to do away with the primitive, boring and rigid commenting system that all default Blogger blogs are embedded with in a bid to make this blog more user-friendly and also to increase the level of interection here.

In place of that, I have installed the 'Intense Debate' blog commenting form. To me, it is much simpler to use as you can comment as a guest among others, and I can comment back directly to each and every one of your comments, and you can in turn reply to my comments.

You probably would have come across blogs with this commenting interface, but still, many do not know how to use it. Maybe some of you might not feel too comfortable using another commenting system other than the default one so let me give a short tutorial.

Commenting as a Guest

After typing your desired comment...

Step 1: Type your name in.

Step 2: (Optional)...key in your e-mail address to display you Gravatar if you have one, and then your blog URL.

Step 3: Hit the submit comment button.

And you are done!!

Commenting with an 'Intense Debate' Account

Before typing your desired comment...

Step 1: Register for an 'Intense Debate' account. It takes only a couple of minutes to do so.

Step 2: Log in and you are free to type in your comment.

Step 3: Submit your comment.

And you are done!!

P.S. If you find you like this commenting interface, I reckon you should revamp the commenting system on your blog with this as well. The installation manual for this is available at the 'Intense Debate' website. And do give me some feedback on how you find this new commenting interface.
