Unfollowing a post?

Here's one thing I've never figured out on these boards...

Is there any way to "unfollow" a post? I commented in a thread, and now I get notifications for it all. the. time. I don't have the yellow start ticked off, so I think I just keep getting notifications for this thread because of one post I made months ago. Is there any way to remove notifications for specific threads?

    omg is it the "Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT)) thread?" I wish I never posted in that one. I can't get out of it. It's never ending confessions.

    My issue with this is then I don't get notifications for the discussions I WANT to follow.

    I feel the same way.

    Me too!! And people post to it every other second. It's super annoying.

    I tried the instructions the mod gave above, but I only see ways to turn off all notifications. Nothing about opting out of a single thread. :/

    Nope! It's one about bento boxes. And another one about what you ate for dinner (just found that one). Was a fun ride the first few days; now that the threads are thousands of replies long, I just want it to stoppppppppp.

    Won't I not get notifications at all then?
    I requested my reply be deleted in one thread; will that remove the notifications if a mod wipes it from the thread?

    LMAO! I'm glad I didn't post in that one, although I was tempted and creeped the pics for the first 10 pages or so.

    Threads used to roll over after 500 posts. We need that back!

    I wish I did what you did. As much as I like seeing dinner posts/recipes, notifications for months on end gets tiring, haha. I wish the rollover feature was still here too! Made threads a lot easier to navigate.

    This is what I do- IDK if it will help you or not.

    Change your notification settings with the bell. I star the threads I want to track and then when there is a new post it will show up under the star drop box next to the bell.

    That sounds like a good idea! ^^

    I have it set so that I don't get notifications on posts I post in, only in bookmarked posts. It seems to work well for me. I also primarily use the star and from there click on All Bookmarks, then just read the ones I am currently interested in, that have a NEW flag beside them.

    I think I'm going to have to try that out (even though I love how my notifications are set up right now...)

    So many notifications today. I don't want to see any more bento ideas or what people ate for dinner. Send help.
