Title: Re: Is there a way to unsubscribe to a thread ? Post by: Matthew N. Wright on March 15, 2012, 12:43:06 PM Frankly, in the "Show new replies to your posts." which, like almost everyone else here I use as a "list of threads I'm actually interested in", there are some old threads that I've entirely stopped to care about, but refuse to die. How do I get rid of them ? You can't. SMF is gay and only allowed for that as an "upgrade", which Theymos refuses to upgrade to. The best way to ignore a thread is to troll it so that no one will talk there. Title: Re: Is there a way to unsubscribe to a thread ? Post by: BadBear on March 15, 2012, 12:44:02 PM I just open all the ones I actually wanna read in a new tab, then hit mark all as read which clears the rest of them.

Title: Re: Is there a way to unsubscribe to a thread ? Post by: marked on March 16, 2012, 11:24:23 AM BAM. EDIT: I'll see if I can't hack a way. Wouldn't something like "always ignore thread" or "always mark read" be a similar action to that of emailing a topic update, but moving the read pointer to a date always newer than the last post? "always ignore thread" would hide it forever more in the topic list "always mark read" would just mark read and still be visible in the topic list marked Title: Re: Is there a way to unsubscribe to a thread ? Post by: Meni Rosenfeld on March 16, 2012, 11:33:12 AM The only way is to delete your posts from that thread (and I heard even that doesn't always work).
In the planned forum software overhaul there should be better options for this. I am now... leet. I think I will avoid posting for a while. (Note to visitors from the future: Post count of 1337 is displayed as "leet"). Title: Re: Is there a way to unsubscribe to a thread ? Post by: mila on March 16, 2012, 12:21:43 PM The only way is to delete your posts from that thread (and I heard even that doesn't always work). confirm that. I'm deleting own old posts in threads I want to 'unsubscribe' failry often and it mostly works. but some times it does not. I suspect some kind of indexing being performed if thread is too big and after that magic moment deleting all posts from thread will not cause unsubscribe.
