Why is the @Replies setting missing from Settings/Notices?
I'd like to turn off @ Replies. According to http://blog.twitter.com/2008/05/how-r..., all I need to do is go to Settings/Notices and change the option in the drop down box. However, this doesn't appear in my Settings/Notices. Mine only offers settings for Auto-Nudge, New Follower Emails, Direct Text Emails, and Email Newsletter.
Can anyone tell me how to turn off @ Replies please? Thank you.

Inappropriate?Hi. The blogpost you found was written in May 2008 when there was still an option. Twitter removed that option in May 2009 because very few (~3% of) users deviated from the default setting, and it was a technically expensive feature to support.
You'll find their official announcement (also on their blog) here:

Inappropriate?Thanks for that mdy.
The announcement suggests that I should only see @replies between two people I follow. That's not the case though. I see @replies from anyone I follow to anyone, i.e. reams and reams of one-sided dialogues.
Do you know if that's what should be happening? And, if not, if there's anyway to stop it?
Thank you. -
Inappropriate?That sounds a lot like a bug. I suggest you log a support ticket at http://twitter.zendesk.com/requests/p... so someone from Twitter Support can check your account.

Inappropriate?Thanks. I'll do that and post an update here as to how I get on.

Inappropriate?Here's the latest. I logged a support ticket and got an email back which just gave me a load of links to the standard help pages (which I'd already checked) and said that the query would be regarded as solved unless I mailed again.
I mailed again and have heard nothing in response.
However, the problem also seems to have been fixed, in that I am no longer seeing @replies to people I don't follow.
So, I think Twitter must have done something to fix it without letting me know: perhaps because they don't want to admit there was a fault their end - or is that just cynical? :-)
Thanks for your help mdy.
