Wiping threads from 'my new replies to your posts' section

[gentlemand]

Is there any way of doing this?

I've contributed to threads in the past that I'm no longer interested in and seem to drone on for all eternity.

I've deleted my posts from them but the threads still keep on popping up time after time. Removing them from my watchlist does nothing either.

Am I missing something obvious or is this not possible?

Top right of the threads you don't want to see, click "unwatch". Apparently not.

[gentlemand]

Already done that. It makes no difference. They still keep popping up.

I never use the watchlist feature, just the new replies to your posts. There doesn't seem to be a way to get rid of any of them.

There isn't, I asked this a while back and Theymos confirmed it.
Next time you feel the urge to comment in a long running off topic thread, resist it.

Oh i thought it was my problem or something, i tried to click the unwatch thing aswell and they kept popping and i didnt know what the hell was happening, so when you click unwatch what exactly are you doing? Nothing? Shouldnt theymos fix this since he is aware of it

how can I drop a post that I am no longer interested in from the "show new replies to your posts" area?

You can't, and there's no reason to do so. By default, the watchlist page is exactly the same as "show new replies to your posts" except that you can unwatch topics that you don't want to see.

You're using it wrong. Watchlist was created as a replacement for show replies, largely because of this, and because you couldn't follow a thread without posting in it.

Watchlist has all the same features as show new replies, and more that are missing like this. Use it instead.

So......we untick the top box, click Do It on the parentheses pop up, and tick the fourth box....amirite?
And from then on just go to "Watchlist" and don't bother with "Show new replies...etc" ?
And then, if we are no longer interested in a thread, just remove it from our watchlist?

Yes but IMHO it is better not to untick first checkbox. If you do this, it will be a big worload for you clicking "watch" everytime.

OK, thanks MZ and BB.
