Yo mods/admin....

I have a habit of clicking the "Subscribe to this thread" button when I'm posting, or if something catches my attention. But now I have a bout 13,000,000,000 subscribed topics:eek:. We're going on holiday and I don't really want emails coming in for threads that I'm no longer bothered about being subscribed to. So is there any quick way for you to cancel all my subscriptions at once? Or do I need to do them individually?

A.:I:D

Go into your profile, look at the last entry on the right hand side, mentions about checking the signature, make sure it says yes in the drop down menu, see if that's ok

Eh? I think we're on different frequencies Allan.:eek::(

Wasn't saying anything about signatures. It's the subscriptions I'm on about. I often click the "subscribe" button and as such I now have thousands of subscriptions. I'm just looking for a lazy/quick way of deleting all those subscriptions.:clown::I

Erm...:I <shuffles feet>:I.... did look. Tried very hard to see what your describing. I see two drop down boxes; One is "View signatures in posts", my choice is "No". The other is "Signature checkbox ticked by default", my choice is "yes". But this is just to automatically add your own signature to each post. Nothing to do with subscriptions......... Isn't it?:I

And it's not future subscriptions I'm bothered about. It's getting rid of the old ones.;)

WTF?!?!?!?!?!?:eek::eek::eek:

I detect foul play here!:eek::eek:

All my subscriptions have gone.:approve:

I don't fekking believe this. I mean, I'm real glad they've gone, but WTF? I don't see how unsubscribing from one thread has unsubscribed from all of them.:eek::eek::eek:

Just told Lenore I'm gonna have to eat my left shoe. Her reply: "Serves you right for being a smug bas***d":eek::D

A.:D

Well. What do you know.:eek:

Unsubscribe from ONE topic and it unsubscribes you from ALL your previously subscribed topics.

Just tried it again and it worked.

No foul play.

Well. I guess I'll be doing some of this on your run Allan.:eek::eek:
