    Notifications?

    I usually visit the control panel page to check threads I'm subscribed to but starting just a bit ago I'm now getting a green notification flag when there are new posts in threads I'm subscribed to. Did someone tinker with something? I haven't touched my settings at all.

    It's really obnoxious. There's one thread I'm not checking (GoT) until I've watched the episode because I don't want to be spoiled. Is there a way to turn this off? I looked through settings and I updated all of my notification stuff but it's still there.

    this happened to me also as of yesterday. Now every post I make auto-subscribes that thread. I don't think I did anything to create this change, but its very annoying since w/in minutes I have like 30+ notifications unless i manually delete every subscription after I make any post in a thread.

    Makes me not want to make any posts... oh wait now this thread is subscription since i posted in it lol

    See, I'm the opposite. I want my threads to auto-subscribe. In the other thread, Ragns said something about people bitching because they wanted an easy way to check for new posts. If you go to the "Settings" link in the top, it takes you to the User Control Panel, which lists all of your subscribed threads that have new posts so you can check them easily. So instead what happened was Ragns (I'm assuming) force unsubscribed me from every thread I've ever posted in on this website (which pissed me off), rather than realizing that there already was an easy way for people to keep up with new posts. It's not my fault no one knows how to work this goddamn website properly.

    And I spent about 5 hours today going through and looking for threads I've posted in, and I'm not even close to done yet. I'm still really pissed about that, since I did specifically say that I like the subscribed threads feature.

    And if you don't, there is away to turn it off. But people bitching about not being able to find threads are fucking dumb. That option already exists, without a goddamn green notification flag.

    Hit me yesterday, too. Wound up deleting some 1000+ subs I never made and made sure the not-sub option was checked.

    Emptying current folder deletes all your subs or you can individually get rid of them

    Sono, is there some way that whoever unsubscribed me from everything can un-do it? Because it's actually fucking driving me up the wall that I'm no longer subscribed to everything even if threads have long been dead. It's an obsessive thing.

    I'm really annoyed that someone did that for me, when I could have done that on my own if I had wanted to. Which I didn't, and I know that I said it at least three different times that I like being subscribed to threads and it was summarily ignored.

    Maybe it's possible to make a program or browser extension that will crawl through the forum checking every thread for if you've posted to it, then subscribing you if you haven't.
    But it'd be an involved project to do, most of the people capable of doing it would probably aintnobodygottimeforthat.gif the proposal.
