So I keep getting notifications from this thread that I haven't posted in in a year now and I really don't want it in my new replies anymore. I've turned off the option to automatically subscribe to threads I post in, it says I'm not subscribed to any, but I'm still getting them. I can't find a button on the actually thread to click that will unsubscribe me. I don't know if this is a bug or I'm just not doing the right thingy, but does anyone know how I can? It's pretty annoying.

in the thread that you are getting notifications for
To the right of the "Reply" button do you see "Notify" or "Unnotify" because if you have Unnotify click that and that should fix it

I don't see that button on any thread I go to. I only have "add poll", "mark unread", "send this topic", and "print".

I second that~

The button to notify/unnotify was removed for normal users. That's why you can see it, Sleuth, but they cannot.
As for your issue, NightWish, I don't see any notifications set for your account. Is this for another account? If so, which thread?

No, it's this one. And it's the "What Kind of Brony Are You?". It says I don't have any notifications on my end, either.

This is very odd, then. When was the last email and can you give me a screenshot of it (cover or don't include personal information, of course.)

I'm not getting emails, that part's fine. I meant like, in the "Show new replies to your posts" thingy.

I'm sorry, but I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about. Can you screenshot it or give me exact details on how you get to what you're talking about. I'm guessing you're talking about in your Profile Settings > Notifications?

Show new replies to your posts.

This thingie in your top right corner. When ya go there, it shows all new replies to any thread you ever replied to. For example, What Kind of Brony Are You? thread. You tell people once, but every new person will make this thread appear in new replies again. After some time, your New Replies turn into a wall of text with 70% of threads not important to you anymore. And none can make these threads stop being "followed".

Post Merge

You can "Mark All Threads Read", but it will also remove threads you care for. And even so, all threads will reappear after any new replies anyway.

Oh that. I've honestly never used that button, so I forgot about it lol

That subscription option and the "show new replies" are two completely unrelated systems. There is no way to stop getting notifications from threads you've posted in without deleting all of your posts. That's just the way the system is designed.
