Stop Unwanted Insight Thread Alerts

In summary, the individual is receiving unwanted alerts about new Insight threads and has tried to stop them by unchecking all options on their Alert Preferences page, but the alerts continue. They have been informed that there is currently no way to opt out and do not have a specific issue with the Insights, just find the alerts annoying. They are able to see the latest Insights on the main forum page and can determine their interest from there. They appreciate the response and now know there is no solution to stop the alerts.

I receive Alerts about new Insight threads. I do not wish to receive these alerts. I've unchecked all the options on my Alert Preferences page (at least a week ago), but the alerts keep coming. How do I stop them? Thanks.

At the moment there is no way to opt out. Is there a specific problem?

Is it that you aren't interested in the Insights?

I see the latest Insights on the main forum page and am able to judge from that what interests me. However, it's not a big deal, now that I know there's no way to opt out.
Appreciate your taking the time to reply.
