Unable to Modify pre-upgrade Subscriptions

Problem Description:
I am unable to unsubscribe from threads that I used to be subscribed to.

Details:
I was subscribed to about 12 threads prior to the upgrade. Post upgrade, (and some fixes), I do get ForumNotifier PMs, with links to the thread.
I can create new subscriptions, and manage them through either "My Forums" or the "subscribe" button in the thread.

But, I still can't manage my old subscriptions.
From the "My Forums" page, none of my old subscriptions display.
Form the "subscribe" button in a SUBSCRIBED thread, I get a popup window with the following:
============================
Once you subscribe to the topic if its replied to you will be notified by e-mail.

Click on the Subscribe button to subscribe or unsubscribe:

Status: Subscribed




Topics you are subscribed to:
PM Bug: Can't move messages to a folder
=============================

Note: There is no SUBSCRIBE button, just the Unsubscribe and Select All buttons below the list of subscribed threads.

Can anyone else confirm this?
 
OK, well it's consistent. When I click the subscribe button on this thread, I get almost the same window as documented above (add in this thread in the subscribed list), and still no Subscribe button.

If I go to a thread where the status is Not Subscribed, then I see the Subscribe button in the white space below the status line.

Windows XP, SP1
IE 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp1.020828-1920
128 bit, multiple Q articles
JVM: Microsoft (although Sun is also installed)

What other info can I provide? What scripting generates the button? I tend to have very restricted code/scripting rules.

Again, no acknowledgement of the bug. (Yes, I see that Jason posted, but that's just a comment about one part of the code.)

I have the same problem. If it's a new thread that was created after the upgrade, I can subscribe no problem. However, if it's a thread I was subscribed to before the upgrade, I can't. Link below is a screenshot to hopefully explain it better.

*clicks on the subscribe button below on the reply window, and it works! But old threads don't....*
 
I thought it was just me since no-one said anything before. I was getting pm's about posts and no subscriptions were showing up in my profile! Glad that's fixed now.

I thought it was just me too 😛
I never made the connection between old subscriptions vs. new subscriptions though. I just noticed it was working on some, but not others. The distinction between the two never clicked in my head. Good job techfuzz 😉
 
It was really weird too that the subscribe/unsubscribe buttons weren't showing up either when you navigated to the particular thread you were supposed subscribed too.
