Subscribed threads?

I have a related question. How can only subscribe/watch threads that I choose instead of every thread I have visited? I'm getting too many useless alerts and don't want to disable that option.

Are you really "watching" every thread you've merely visited, or every thread you've posted in? I haven't seen any new "subscriptions" for the threads I've just opened and read... And if you don't want to "watch" a thread you have posted in, choose "more options" instead of "post reply" and then un-select the "watch thread" option. There might also be some sort of preference in one's profile setting to change the default to "not watch" threads you post in, but I haven't quite gotten that far myself...

I think you are right about it being topics I've posted in. So far I haven't seen an option to not watch threads by default. There should definitely be an option and it should be set off by default. It doesn't make sense for us needing to un-select watch thread every time we post.

Ok, I see this option in account - preferences - options.

  • Automatically watch threads that you create or when you reply...
    • and receive email notifications of replies

I don't mind watching threads I created by default but I don't want to follow every thread that I reply in unless someone quotes me which I have enabled. The above should be two separate options instead of one.
