Hi.

I think I commented in one of those never dying threads (even though for the life of me I don't remember doing so) and I lost the interest I never had in it in the first place, lol... and it really kind of spams up my notifications. Big time.

Is there a way to "leave" the thread I haven't figured out?

It's not starred.

If anyone's figured out how to do this, please share = )

Thanks!

P.S. I tried to post this in the tech support forums, but it didn't let me, so I'm going to take this as a chance to post in the popular forum :mrgreen: It'll get buried (hopefully with a solution) in no time ;)

    Weird, unless you started it or starred it, it shouldn't blow up your notifications...

    Go to the "bell" near the top of your page, click on it, then go to NOTIFICATION PREFERENCES. Uncheck the boxes you don't want to have running.

    It does, 'cause I get one everytime there's a new post. I just got 2 since I created this thread, ha. And no, I didn't start it or star it. Nor comment on it (that I remember).

    It's not the biggest of deals, but it'd make my life a bit better to turn it off.

    Somewhere in the settings you can turn off notifications for new posts to threads you have responded to. I made the mistake of posting in one of those neverending threads myself and that was how I solved it. Now if I post to a thread and want to watch for future posts, I have to star it.

    Yeah, I have the same problem. I commented on it when it was a tiny three page thread and now it has like 9,000 comments or something ridiculous like that and I get a notification for every single comment. I would also like to know if i can stop those notifications somehow.

    Haha, I'll take this!! This would work and I don't mind the small workaround. Thanks, problem solved ")

    Cheers! :flowerforyou:
