<p>Hi Gang, I appreciate the feedback. I also posted this same thread at another photo community and someone recommended a store in the USA which claims to be the worlds largest online camera parts store. I had never heard of them, but they have a very large inventory of camera parts at their website. I found what appears to be the genuine Nikon part at their website. The part and shipping appears to be only $9.18 cents, but I sent them a question to confirm that is was the genuine Nikon part but did not get a reply, so I will have to wait until Monday, unless someone comes across a better price.<br /> I want to post the name of the company and see if any of you have ever dealt with them, but I'm concerned that I would be breaking a Pnet rule. The company has been in business for over 25 years and got good ratings at resellerratings.<br /><br /><br />Frank- Thanks for the tip. I tried putting another small item in my cart just to see shipping and sure enough it was also $9.50. Ridiculous!<br /><br />Craig- The 10 pin socket is my main concern, but I want both covered. I live on the gulf coast and deal with a lot of salt spray, plus occasional trips to the desert and dusty areas. I also do a lot of night pics, so I depend on the 10 pin socket a lot. The rubber caps broke off a couple of months ago, so I have been only using my other D300 when at the beach. I have had my share of electronic problems with my Nikons, so I prefer to keep them covered. <br /><br />Stephen- I was curious if those hard plastic screws easy to deal with, especially at night.. in the cold… on the beach? I'm figuring I would be dropping the screw and losing it. That is why I was gonna order two pair if I went that route, until I got another rubber part.<br /><br />Rodeo Joe- Thanks for the super glue tip, but the covers are gone. I don't know where they broke off or I would try your suggestion. I love to save money:)<br />What about the "bottom cover rubber" where the quick release plate attaches to bottom of camera? The rubber is starting to curl. I was gonna order one of those from the same company, since they are $6.32 for a genuine Nikon part. Some of those off brand bottom rubber covers come with a sticky side. I cannot tell if the Nikon part does, but kind of worried about using super glue to try and fix old bottom cover rubber and botching the repair. <br />I know what you mean about clearance for a screw-in cover. I finally got a wireless remote that I am very happy with, but it is tight squeeze when screwing into the 10 pin socket.</p>

<p>Original rubber part broke off my D300. Nikon says the D300S part is the same as D300. It sells for only $2.80 cents, but they have been out of stock for a few weeks and could not tell me when they will get them in again. http://parts.nikonusa.com/en/nikon-products/product/dslr-parts/d300s-sync%252f10-pin-rubber-cap.html<br /><br />Have searched until my neck hurts and the best deal I could find was $15.00 at an online site and that is too much of a markup.<br /><br />Until Nikon gets the part in, I was thinking of buying a pair (or two) of these inexpensive caps, but some get bad reviews due to poor fit, quality etc.. Has anyone ever tried the caps? If so, can you recommend a legitimate seller in the USA? I found a set for $5.00 but that I will go with if no better suggestions. <br /><br /><br />Thanks in advance!</p>

<p><a href="/photodb/user?user_id=3828976">John Kent Hill</a> thanks for your reply. I followed your directions and went to <a href="/pvt/alerts">edit</a> | <a href="/pvt/unsubscribe">unsubscribe</a>.<br /><br />I clicked unsubscribe and got this: You are current marked as being on vacation until March 22, 2016. If you'd like to start receiving email alerts again, just tell us that you're back.<a href="/pvt/set-on-vacation-to-null.tcl"><br /></a><br> <strong>It did nothing to stop the Spam Attack emails. Now over 500 spam messages. Currently, I just received a fresh batch of spam. Around 25 alerts in five minutes.<br /><br /></strong><br />A couple of legitimate emails are also getting through. Before I did the unsubscribe, I did not get an alert for your reply or my original post, even though I had clicked, Notify Me Of Responses.<br /><br /><br />Also, I originally posted on <strong>Casual Photo Conversations</strong> very early this morning, in hopes of getting more feedback, plus to share with others. Without any notification, my thread was moved to <strong>Site Help</strong>, a forum that not as many members probably check out. I think I visited <strong>Site Help</strong> for the first time during the last massive attack in March.<br /><br /><br /><strong>If Administration or Moderators know of another way to disable email alerts, please let us members know. I do not want any emails until these attacks are over. <em>I almost deleted a very important document that was hidden in the spam emails.</em></strong></p>

<p>Another wave of spam attack has begun. So far it is coming from <strong>Digital Darkroom</strong>. Is there a simple way to turn off ALL alerts until I feel like turning them back on again? There has to be a simple off and on type switch for members to click?<br /><br />Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I asked this at the beginning of March when we were flooded with hundreds of emails, but did not get a reply. That thread was at the <strong> Site Help</strong> Forum. http://www.photo.net/site-help-forum/00dmCf?start=10 <br> <br />Since I did not get an answer last time, I went and tried to disable "Your existing alerts" but I am confused as to how that works. I'm guessing that was just alerts that I already had and not the new ones? <br />At any rate, I want to stop the spam. I have never dealt with spam this bad. Very annoying and time consuming. <br />Thanks in advance, John</p>

<p>I didn't click on any of the links, but just spent over a half hour deleting hundreds of them. Very annoying. Much worse then the last time Pnet had this problem. Was worried that it was my computer, since I only saw 1 or 2 real messages mixed in all this garbage. <br /><br />For future reference…. is there a way to disable ALL my Photo.net alerts until the problem is fixed. I see a page where I can disable/enable forums and threads, but is there a One Click to turn off everything coming from Pnet?</p> <p>Edit- A new wave of them are coming in my inbox right now.</p>
