Always Unsubscribing

College Confidential Community

I’m willing to admit that I’m probably technologically incompetent. But I hate clogging up my email with subscribed thread updates. On my control panel, I assume that the default is to automatically add all threads that I have posted in to my subscription list. I would like to change that so that I don’t have to remember to unsubscribe every time I post. Is there such a setting? Where is it?

If it is possible, I would like to be able to still add threads to that subscription list that I am particularly interested in or started, while still not having all the other threads listed automatically.

Go to the Control Panel > Edit Options > Default Thread Subscription Mode: Choose: “Do not subscribe”

In your control panel, go to “Edit Options” > “Default Thread Subscription Mode” > “Do not subscribe”

For a thread you do want to receive updates, just click on “Thread Tools” > “Subscribe to this thread” > “Instant Email Notification”

Wow h88. How did we manage to post at the exact same time?!

5

Cause you posted at the exact same minute :stuck_out_tongue:

It happens not infrequently, don’t worry.

I like the Subscribed threads…it makes them easy to spot the ones where I’ve posted when I come onto the board. However, I turned off the e-mail notification. That combo seems to work.

Yeah I can’t stop using it - I also subscribed to a couple of forums. . you know - the ones where I frequently hang out on. .

I hate the subscribed threads. But then again i’m on cc so much, I automatically check up on what’s being posted on every single forum every time I log on, which is usually 1-2 times a day. Subscribed threads just clog up my email

Subscribed threads does NOT = email. Just change the email setting, but the subscribed threads will still show up in your control panel.

10

subscribed threads show a red star by the thread you posted, right? And what does the yellow light mean?

11

yellow lights show that there are new posts or threads

12

the red star means you’ve posted in it before (which in term become temporarily/automatically subscribed, so yes)

Right, got it now. I never saw that setting. It is now set to subscribe but not email.

Thanks!
