Wolfflow commentedSorry Gabor, but can you give me some more feedback, I know the existence of this page but there is no unsubscribe button an no information on what are the standard procedure to unsubscribe from a mailing list there.
I'm used on other networks to send an empty email with the subject "Unsubscribe" and get a confirmation email-answer for my action.
This is not very clear on Drupal.org.
So please inform me if you know.
Thanks

gábor hojtsySorry.
1. Our lists are maintained by mailman. That page lists all the mailman page links. Go there and find unsubscription at the bottom (enter your email there and unsubscribe or edit options).
2. Also each email contains industry standard headers which help you unsubscribe. Most webmail tools and desktop email readers require extensions to display these details (such as https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/576) but they are there, so you can look at the email source as well.
I agree the mailing list page could use an unsubscribe button as well.

Wolfflow commentedIt's Ok. Thanks
Comment #5
add1sun commentedMoving to docs to flesh out explaining how to use the mail lists better, including unsubscribing and searching the archive.
Comment #6
gábor hojtsyI'd also like to contribute to improving the mailing lists page and make it a table instead like http://php.net/mailing-lists.php (with both subscribe and unsubscribe options). Also http://php.net/unsub.php might have useful details in explaining how to find out the email address used to originally subscribe. People often redirect their email and have no idea what real email address they used to subscribe.
Comment #7
Wolfflow commentedSorry to bother again but I cannot actually unsubscribe from documentation-issues-drupal.org
It's a different action to take in http://drupal.org/mailing-lists >> http://lists.drupal.org/listinfo/documentation ?
Comment #8
dman commentedat the bottom of that page.
Is it not working for you?
Comment #9
Wolfflow commentedThanks Dan -- Done
Comment #10
Wolfflow commentedStill receiving mail from : documentation-issues-drupal.org
Please could you tell me where I have to unsubscribe from this mailing list.
Mail is sent from noreply@drupal.org
Object: [documentation] [task] ...............
Thanks
Comment #11
gábor hojtsyThe top of the mailing list page says:
You might have noticed that these emails are project issue updates (eg. from the emails themselves, or from the source: "documentation-issues"). I'd suggest you try clicking on that "sign up for project issue updates" link.
Comment #12
add1sun commented@wolfflow, Gabor is correct and you can subscribe/unsubscribe to all of your issue queues at that link. You can also go to the documentation issue queue, click the Subscribe link at the top of the page and then change your subscription settings there for just the docs issue queue.
Comment #13
Wolfflow commentedDear @Gabor dear @Barry,
I'm sure you know exactly what you are speaking about, but with all respect I am not able to see where I can see as a registered member on Drupal.org a list of subscribed mailing list at the moment. I hope sincerely you will not again interpret my replay to you as a complain. I really hope you or who has the access right to check my account and to unsubscribe from all mailing list. I really have no time to spend on something that really should have clear information documentations for improving the usability on Drupal and Drupal.org.
Kind Regards
Comment #14
HansBKK commentedAt the top of the issues queue page: http://drupal.org/project/issues/documentation
There is a Subscribe link, which is where you originally signed up. Here is a direct link: http://drupal.org/project/issues/subscribe-mail/documentation
Personally I just do "own issues", and that to a special gmail account I have for subscriptions like this, with automatic filtering into tag/folders, so I choose when to go and look at them.
But of course you can just turn them all off right there.
And as an active member of the docs team if you find the docs lacking why wouldn't you fix the problem yourself? (or at least now that you know what the answer is. . . )
Comment #15
Wolfflow commentedHi @HansBKK , in a way you are right ("Why not doing yourself") but I decided to limit and postpone my Drupal.org support to better times. More info here and here. Really appreciate your info and I'm going to try. Will report on success. Thanks
Comment #16
Wolfflow commentedI found the link and did unsubscribe, Many thanks @HansBKK. BTW, there is a lot to remember about the normal user accounts, you cannot imagine how difficult is to orient themselves if you got some "Site Maintainers" access and action rights and there is no centralized information page, if had a look to the issue I listed in my comment #15 you may see that I'm trying to help on organising and collect as to build so called "TEAMS Documentations" section but there is no general agreement at the moment.
Thanks
Comment #17
HansBKK commented@Wolfflow sorry for your troubles, you shouldn't let the *!&"%£^€ get you down. Another useful English expression for you - better to beg forgiveness than ask permission :)
@addy "Moving to docs to flesh out explaining how to use the mail lists better, including unsubscribing and searching the archive."
Is this OK? http://drupal.org/node/22964
Comment #18
Wolfflow commented@HansBKK I got the metaphor ;-) But surely I'm not down. I can wait and I'm sure the guys of the teams like me, even if I am sometimes a bit grammatically and syntactically a PITA. Cheers
