Automatic Thread Subscription was created by Annora (Karen)

So it seems that with a somewhat recent forums update, I am now subscribed to every thread I post in. I've poked around the options, and see no way to turn this off, short of manually clicking the unsubscribe button after every post I make.
Is there a way to stop this automatic subscription 'feature'?
Considering I check these boards as often as I check my email (if not more), it's quite useless, and just leads to more clutter in my email inbox.
(Translation: It's driving me nuts!!)

If devices will help, I get this on my Android 5 tablet in Chrome/Firefox, my Android 4 phone in Chrome, my Macbook Pro running Yosemite in Firefox, and my Windows 7 desktop in Firefox.
So I highly doubt it's device relevant?

I've been dealing with this for like 6 months

I've just gotten used to unchecking the box for "Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic."

We've all been dealing with it for a while. It finally just annoyed me enough to ask.
And, yes, that would be a stopgap measure, if I had the brain capacity to remember to uncheck that box...

Unrelated...

When looking at Forum Index, I still see a red jewel marker for a new, unread topic, but when I goto that forum section, I see I have read all threads/topics under that heading. Anyone else getting this?

Paul, it may be either a sub-forum that has an unread topic, your browser may have cached it, or you may need to do a "mark all read" at some point to force it to sync up.

I've been looking into the subscription thing, and have a lead - the Profile Builder we're using (which also allows the IG groups system) hides a user's Forum Settings for some reason. I'm looking for the way to make them show up on your personal profile when you edit it, so that you can uncheck the auto-subscribe option.

This should be fixed now. If you go to "My Actions => Edit My Profile," there are new options to set subscriptions, and also display or hide your online status.

You may need to check the option, save your settings and then uncheck it for the setting to save.
