Pardon my naivite, but is there a way to UNFOLLOW a thread you started in this forum? Most forums have that option. A thread I started was useful, but is now getting way off-topic, and it's time for me to bow out.
Hi Tom. I struggle with this a bit myself. The default when writing a post is “notify me…” and I sometimes forget to uncheck. There might be a better way but I go back to the post sending me messages and “edit” to uncheck the “notify me” option.
The default is checked in settings - default is on. You can turn them off by default - but it needs to be turned on for each message - if I'm not mistaken. Enjoy!
Thanks. I guess that should have been obvious, in the notification e-mail. You click there and you don't get anymore e-mails. I guess if you want to be reinstated for notifications on that thread, you have to post a new message in that thread and there just ask to be notified.
I have accidentally clicked that no-follow link more than once. The remedy is to open the thread and either edit one of your comments or post a new one. That will reset your follow flag for the thread..

Also see Account/Options. There is a way to turn off notifications. I don’t know if that works or not… yet.
What I’ve never seen on this forum is thread locking for misbehaving or useless threads…
The email notifications have a link to unfollow, don't they? I don't know if it works if you were the originating poster, though.
Yeah, I think the unfollow link is in each email.
In every email there are links and one of them is to unsubscribe to the post and to stop receiving notifications.
