Stop auto-subscription to threads: How to turn it off?

  • Thread starter AKG
  • Start date
In summary, to stop auto-subscription to threads, go to your account settings and disable the email notification option. Auto-subscription is a default setting in most forums and can be controlled manually. Turning off auto-subscription will still allow you to see updates on threads you are following, but you will not receive email notifications unless you have manually subscribed. Some platforms may have an option to disable auto-subscription for all threads at once.

It seems I'm being automatically subscribed to any threads I post in. This just started happening today, but I believe it's happened before. It also seems to happen when I start threads. Is this a bug, or is it something I can turn off? If I can turn it off, how? Thanks.
