Un subscribe to topics which I post in?

  • Thread starter rusty009
  • Start date
In summary, the conversation is about how to disable email notifications for new posts in subscribed threads on a forum website. The solution is to click on the "My PF" link and then "Edit Options" to change subscription settings. There is also an option to unsubscribe from individual threads. However, there is no way to sort the list of subscribed threads by date.

Hey guys, currently, when I post in a topic I get emails to notify me when someone else has posted in the same topic which is pretty annoying. How do I disable this? Thanks !

Click on the "My PF" link in the upper left of this page, and then click on the "Edit Options" at the left. Look down a bit for the settings for your subscriptions to threads.

You're welcome. Also, in the My PF link, it will show you a list of your currently subscribed threads that have had new posts since you last looked at the thread. Each listing offers you a link to click to "Unsubscribe" from a thread. That's the way I handle it -- if I don't want to be notified of updates to a particular thread, I Unsubscribe on a thread-by-thread basis.

Is there a way to rearrange the list of subscribed threads by the date on which I subscribe to them?

I don't think so. It looks like they are sorted by latest post date in the thread.

Ugh. I wish something like this were implemented. That way I could easily find recently subscribed threads regardless of how old its last post was dated.
