Unsubscribe from Topic
-
Hi,
Is it possible to unsubscribe from a topic when viewing the topic.
I find it a mission to got to my control panel and have to go through all the topics to unsubscribe that way.
It would be nice if we could do this from the topic options of each topic .
thanks
Chris

Two ways, topic options in the upper right here (blue bar)
Post again, change the default to "no subscription" in the drop down.

He he he he thanks Steve,
If only I had taken the chance clicked the subscribe button under options I would have seen what you are saying...
thanks so much sorry for the waste of time

Steve I'm having a similar issue, and your instructions to "Post Again" and change the default just isn't sinking into my thick skull.
In the screen shots below, I'm subscribed to a topic....I can see the Topic Options you mentioned.
If I go to "Subscribe To Topic", I don't see anything about changing default...i can either subscribe, or subscribe with instant notification, I don't see any other option.
Please rub my nose in it.... I can't seem to unsubscribe except by going thru the lsit of all topics I've subscribed to, like Christopher said at the top of the thread....yet he caught on to the other method, but I'm not as sharp i guess.

Hi Lowell
I'm not sure if it works, but try:
"My Account" -> "Forums Control Panel" -> "Topic Subscriptions" (bottom left corner) -> Select the topic, select "Unsubscribe" on bottom and click "Update Selected"
Best wishes

Thanks Florian, but it's the "select the topic" that is killing me
that navigation provides the paged navigation list of all 2500 + subscriptions I've subscribed to...in the case of, say "Are the Posted Questions Getting Worse" , I have to sift thru 50 plus pages to find that thread...or your thread on "Performance issue with tally table", it took e two attempts on the first 6 pages of the search....
I wanted to go directly to the thread and unsubscribe...
there's gotta be an easier way.

Lowell,
There isn't a better way right now. I periodically spend 10-20 minute killing off threads from my subscriptions.
I'm not clear, are you trying to find a thread or subscribe to a thread, or unsubscribe from one?

UN-subscribe is what I'm trying to do; adding a subscription is no problem; it's just un-subscribing from a thread that is the problem...it's not easy to find an older thread sometimes. Also, after page #50 the search simply repeats, so if you subscribe to over 500 threads, you cannot find anything "older" than 500 threads in the past to unsubscribe.

I agree. It would be real handy to click on Topic Options and be able to select "Unsubscribe from this topic only".
Of course, it would also be nice if the code windows worked correctly for IE, as well (hint, hint, hint). 😛

Hint taken, it's on the list.Thanks, Steve. Just an FYI... I've upgraded to the other "sin"... IE8. No changes to report. Everything previously stated still holds.

Hi Steve,
Another suggestion is that when you actually viewing your full list that you can select all. rather than having to tick every single topic you want to unsubscrbe from.
The other thing I notice and not sure if it was mentioned but if I am currently recieving emails for a topic and then when viewing the topic go
Topic options--> subscribe --> change it to no email notifications, I'm still getting emails...
Thanks in advance 🙂
