OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind.  In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships."  OPSEC is everyone's responsibility. 

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.  

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Hello N4M's,

We have been receiving many messages and issue reports regarding emails flooded with notifications from groups and mass forwards. We have contacted Ning and they have provided some insight on how to manage this.

You can control your email settings by signing in, clicking Settings on the right hand side, then clicking the email tab (left side). There you can choose the kind of notifications you want to receive.

If you want to stop receiving email from comments, groups, events you have already followed, you will need to click the "Stop Following All" link on that page as well.

Please let us know if you are still experiencing trouble.

Elizabeth and Colleen

To new members,
Read the following discussion for additional tips about notifications for emails, comments, etc and get in the habit of checking your personal page, your inbox and your groups' pages. Use the search function before posting a new blog to see if a similar discussion/blog has been posted already.:

Kathleen, I had that problem at the beginning. Describe which notifications you would like, later tonight I'll see if I could remember what I did. I had no intention of become a computer geek (even hate computers sometimes) but we are sort of cornered, aren't we? LOL.

I think about 3 mos ago, ning might have had a system upgrade, change servers - one of those things. On your status box (that's the little box on the upper right hand corner), click on Settings, then click on Email. Here is where you can set your email notifications. Next, go back to Profile. Check the email address indicated. Is this where you want your notifications sent. Lastly, if you have Norton or McAfee, have you upgraded recently. Sometimes, if you set your security too high, nothing gets through. I have N4M notifications going to a separate folder in my inbox. So, when someone post a message on one of my groups (that I have set to "Follow"), it'll go into this folder. Notifications of private messages don't go into this folder because the notification is from another individual and not a group message - so these stay in my inbox.
Try this and see if you starting getting the notifications. Talk to you later. Bee

How about signing up for free email address from gmail and change your notification email address to that and see what happens. There shouldn't be any reason.

Ever since the upgrade last night, I have been getting e-mail notifications from groups I don't and never have belonged to in the past... They seem to be random and are clogging my in box. I've tried going to these groups, but I'm not listed as a member there and can't seem to get this problem to stop. I just continue to get random notifications from different groups, changing with every down load of my e-mail.
