I am wandering if it's possible to choose email notification about questions regarding only some of my specializations - in particular I would like to be notified about questions regarding law - as I want to concentrate most of all on such translations.

Hi, Stanislaw, it's already implemented in your Kudoz settings.

Hi Yaotl Jul 1, 2009

Could you be more specific about this settings - I can find only option for receiving notifications about Kudoz questions in either all my specialities or none at all. And I need just some of them (all variations of law)

Hi Geopiet Aug 3, 2009

thank you for the link but I am not sure how to use it. Lets say that I have five specializations: A,B,C,D and E and I want to receive notifications for B and C only. How do I do it?

Best Regards
Stanislaw

I find I get a bit flooded when I receive notifications for all my specialisations in the French to English pair, and of course I miss seeing some that I would like to answer if I turn off notification altogether.

Seeing as we normally only have a few specialisations, I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to list them so that we can select only those for which we want to receive email notification.

I second your request and hope that it will be added to the list of 'things to do'

for Members only Aug 3, 2009

I tried to play with it after posting previous link but my options are "grayed out". I think it's an option available to Proz.com Members only. Hopefully we will get a qualified answer soon.

This link will get you couple of "screen shots" of relevant settings
