Is there any way to make the default when posting in a thread not to subscribe? My email inbox gets clogged with all these new post notifications because I always forget to uncheck the box for subscribing. I check back here every day, I don't need the thread subscriptions to find out whether there's new posts or not.

Thanks.

Try this:

User CP > Edit Options > Default Thread Subscription Mode (In Messaging & Notification).

Change mode to "Do not subscribe"

Or you can still subscribe but turn off the e-mail notification. Also in the edit options page.

I use this. It's much less annoying. This way, you can still keep track of interesting threads, but PF won't bug you with emails.
