AI Thread Summary
To unsubscribe from a forum subscription, users should contact a moderator if they want to discontinue their forum membership. For email notifications from thread replies, navigate to "User CP," select "Edit Options," and adjust the "Default Thread Subscription Mode." After changing the default setting, users must also unsubscribe from all current threads to stop receiving notifications. Many users find this process cumbersome due to recent forum software updates that reset default settings. It's important to address these settings to prevent overwhelming email notifications.

subscription to what? do you mean disable your username? just don't come back i'd reckon..
 
Subscription to the forum, or to a thread? for the forum, you would need to pm/mail a moderator. And why would you unsubscribe?
 
If you are talking about e-mails you are getting because of replying to a thread, then do the following:

Go to "User CP" (it is a link near the top of the page)
Click "Edit Options" (a link on the left side)
Scroll down and find: "Default Thread Subscription Mode"
Then change the option to whatever you want.
 
Once you change the default subscription mode, you'll also need to find the box to unsubscribe from all current threads...the subscription mode affects all future subscriptions, the unsubscribe thing affects everything you've already gotten subscribed to.

We all know it's a royal pain in the butt to have to find that...it's some default setting in the forum software that got reset during a recent upgrade, so we ALL had to fix that. Why the default is to subscribe via email, I have no idea. I just hope it doesn't scare new members off.
