Title: Stop seeing new replies.
Post by: vRS Carl on April 19, 2012, 10:30:42 pm
Is there any way i can stop certain threads from telling me when there is a new reply? For example the Forum Facebook thread. I don't need to know when someone requests access all the time.

This isn't notifications as i haven't got any topics i have asked to be notified on. It is just when i click the "Show replies to your posts" link i want to be able to select what appears in that.

Probably me being dumb but i can't find it in the settings anywhere. :smiley:

I can't find anything about this so I've just let it be. What I tend to do first is "mark as read" various sections of the forum eg sales, random chat and then hit "show unread posts".

I think that we would all possibly benefit from an option to 'unsubscribe' to a thread. I don't know if the forum software has this option. SteveP?

He's not taking about that. He's talking about the links in the top right - show unread posts and new replies. These just show the threads that have had new replies since the last visit. The problem is to "get rid" of a thread, you have to click on it. OP is not interested in knowing about new replies to certain threads.

Is it not because you have replied to the post? Then if anyone else replies it will show up again because you posted in the thread.

Click notify at the top of the thread  :happy2:

I don't want to be notified of anything that's the point  :laugh:

Or are you meaning if i click notify and then turn it off it will remove it from the "Show new replies to your posts" link
Title: Re: Stop seeing new replies.
Post by: damoegan on April 21, 2012, 01:22:27 pm
If your already recieving notifications from a thread then when you click notify at the top is will remove them from the list (I think)  :laugh:

I'm wanting the same as Carl, particularly because for reasons unknown the forum software doesn't notify me by private email anyway of new replies in threads I have posted. So I have to rely on using the forum header link "Show new replies to your posts", which is great except when I want to unsubscribe from a thread (especially when that geezer called RedRobin has taken the thread so far off-topic with pics of hot babes etc etc).

On other forums, the software has a user option: "Unsubscribe" from a thread you have previously posted in < That's all that's needed.

Click on "Profile" at the top then on the left "Notifications and Email", this will show a list of all topics and boards you have notifications enabled for and allow you to unsubscribe from them.

Steve

This isn't for Notifications as i haven't ever selected notify in any topic. When i go into that section it says i don't have any.

This is just threads i have replied in. :smiley:

So as you can see nothing.

However if i click "Show new replies to your posts" i get this

OK, I see what your getting at now, and there is no way to change this as this "Show new replies to your post" option is a generic function that display any thread you have posted in regardless of notification settings.

But, unlike Carl, when I go into Profile > Notifications & Email, I do see a list of those threads I have subscribed to and I'm then able to tick boxes to cease notification. So it works for me as you suggested, Steve.

I haven't subscribed to any threads RR thats why. I just use the new replies button.

So even if you unsubscribe any topic you have posted in will show up by clicking that link :happy2:
