May 4, 2011 3:03am Sonny Razzano Script's Author	Was not aware of that. Thanks for the info as I will check into it. Edit: Check your settings under the notification tab on userscripts.org to ensure no check box is checked.

May 6, 2011 12:13am Chris Wood Scriptwright	But I want to be notified of updates... just not 5 times for the same version

May 6, 2011 6:20am Sonny Razzano Script's Author	The script has an alert notifier that will notify you of a new version.

Jul 5, 2011 12:03am Chris Wood Scriptwright	I've unfavourited the script, seems to be the only workaround.

I forget what it is called, but you can get messages from your beta testers there. Unfavourited is a big deal when we set up our new stuff, you would be forgotten. Some scriptwriters are reponsible and only bother us for major needed updates.

This is the only way to prevent USO from emailing unless you do all notifications in your settings notifications. Since it would appear that you use IE you probably will need to do update checks manually anyways. You could email filter this scripts notification into a special subfolder that only checks on a certain interval in an advanced email client though.

This part currently wouldn't make any difference... just the favorite deselection... this is one of the reasons why I asked you to correct your metadata block last month because I noticed you have a lot of installs and a lot of edits (more than myself hehe :). Greasemonkeys usage of the Moz updater is pretty much silent by default.
