Automatic Thread Subscription

I've just gotten used to unchecking the box for "Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic."

We've all been dealing with it for a while. It finally just annoyed me enough to ask.
And, yes, that would be a stopgap measure, if I had the brain capacity to remember to uncheck that box...

When looking at Forum Index, I still see a red jewel marker for a new, unread topic, but when I goto that forum section, I see I have read all threads/topics under that heading. Anyone else getting this?

Paul, it may be either a sub-forum that has an unread topic, your browser may have cached it, or you may need to do a "mark all read" at some point to force it to sync up.

I've been looking into the subscription thing, and have a lead - the Profile Builder we're using (which also allows the IG groups system) hides a user's Forum Settings for some reason. I'm looking for the way to make them show up on your personal profile when you edit it, so that you can uncheck the auto-subscribe option.

This should be fixed now. If you go to "My Actions => Edit My Profile," there are new options to set subscriptions, and also display or hide your online status.

(Edit: Not email, online status.)

You may need to check the option, save your settings and then uncheck it for the setting to save.
