Disable notifications for topic changes

[Mircea Lobo]

Whenever I log in, I find a high amount of popups in the upper - right area of the screen, related to topic changes of groups I am in. Apart from having to close them one by one, I'm also getting the impression this might be why I lose offline IM's, due to the "IM delivery caped" problem.

This is becoming an annoyance, and I'd like to know if it's possible to get rid of it. Can I disable notifications about topic changes in groups? I don't care about those and am not interested in seeing them.

Firstly, Group Notices do not count against your IM cap.

You have a couple of ways to resolve this issue:-

1. Leave the groups that send Group Notice spam.
2. Open the Group Information floater for each group that you want to limit, and uncheck Receive Group Notices.

Good to know... I used to think the topic change spam is causing IM notifications to get limited. And #2 sounds like the option I am looking for, thanks.

Your thinking is correct as offline messages include IMs,  inventory offers, group notices, and group invitations received. Both the Wiki and the Knowledge Base state this.
