Whenever I reply to a thread, I find that I start getting email notifications for future posts in the thread. I have to manually change this by unwatching the thread, and again watch it without receiving emails notifications.

Is there a way I can change this default option, such that when I reply to any thread, then I automatically start watching it without email notifications?

With the mobile skin, My PF, then Preferences. The first option is

Automatically watch threads that you create or when you reply...​

which has a sub-option:

and receive email notifications of replies​

Uncheck the second one.

Yes. Just uncheck the box for getting email notifications on threads you have replied to in preferences.

Got it. Thanks.
