    How to turn off e-mail notifications?

    I've unchecked every option in preferences that I can find that looks associated with e-mail notifications, but I still get them when people add posts to forums I'm "watching". How do I turn off all e-mail notifications?

    Making 3x3 challenging again?

    Forgive me if this has been proposed or discussed before, but I wasn't quite sure how to search for this idea, so I introduce it here. In a world where the 3x3 cube can be solved in mere seconds, we often look for ways to make it challenging again. That's how we get things like blindfolded...
