How to unsubscribe to a thread

rmpsrpms

I replied to a thread and was automatically subscribed, and now I'm being deluged with responses I don't care about. I can't find an unsubscribe function anywhere. How do you unsubscribe to a thread?

On the right hand side of the topic is a star

Click that

No seriously, how do you unsubscribe?

if you have one starred, it will be under "my bookmarks"

I don't want it bookmarked, I want it gone.

So I tried your suggestion, and bookmarked it, and then un-bookmarked it. I hope that works. If so, then thanks for the info.

Do you mean you get emails? That might be another setting.

If what has already been suggested does not 'work', you might want to try the following:

1) Left Click (LC) your 'username' in the upper right corner of the screen.

2) LC the 'edit profile' icon, and then LC the "Edit Profile" drop-down.

3) LC "Notification Preferences".

4) Deselect the "Email" and "Popup" buttons for "Notify me when people comment on discussions that I've participated in."

5) LC "Save General Preferences".

Well, it didn't work, I am still getting emails, but I don't want to turn off emails for ALL my subscribed threads either! I just don't want to get notification emails for that one thread.

rmpsrpms

So I guess once you reply to a thread, you must forever get email updates, unless you are willing to turn updates off on all the other threads you're subscribed to?

MsMorrisine

I’m outta advice on this one

I don’t like the trouble you are going through. Not a well thought out feature.

Perhaps you can turn off the update feature and switch to the star method?

rmpsrpms

Hmm, maybe. If I bookmark a thread, will I get notifications if there are replies? If not, then what does it mean to bookmark a thread, just that it will show up in my "bookmarked" page? I have probably 50 threads that I'm "subscribed" to and receive emails when there are replies. I don't mind bookmarking all of them as long as I am notified when there is a reply.

MsMorrisine

Yeah you get emails

JBK

I don't get emails on my bookmarked threads, so there are options for that, too.

I only get emails when I get a message.

rmpsrpms

I have never received emails on my bookmarked threads either, which is why I asked. What options are you referring to?

MetroD

The "notification preferences" page includes the following notification options:

I think that this one allows you to set e-mail and pop-up preferences for bookmarked discussions.

I think that this one allows you to set e-mail and pop-up preferences for any non-bookmarked discussion that you have participated in (e.g., posted a reply).

rmpsrpms

OK, I will try it.
