At the top of the notification settings screen there is an option for 'send me news and information'.  Can anyone explain what this setting does and whether it can be disabled please?

Thanks

It's for bulk mail, you can send members bulk email, but only if they check that box will that individual receive it.

Ah of course thanks. Do you know if there is a way to remove it? We don't use the bulk email at all and by coincidence we have a Mailchimp list called News and Information, so this setting is likely to cause confusion with subscribing to that.

bump anyone please?

There isn't a way to remove this built in as a setting, you could use the language manager to change the text perhaps and make it clear it's in reference to the forums mail system if that would work for you.

Yes that will work thank you.
