Every once in a while I go to a page here I have a bookmark for, and find I've been "subscribed" to countless topics which I participated in. I have disabled email notification, so this serves no purpose. Every few months I click them all and unsubscribe, but: why am I subscribing? Can I defeat this at the start?



Thanks

I found if you use "FastReply" instead of "AddReply" button then email notification is turned on by default. But, I don't know if that has anything to do with your problem.

you can go into the "subscriptions" section of "my controls" and uncheck the ones you don't want - that will stop the ones that already slipped through

I think I made it clear that I'm doing that, every few months. My point is that I have no desire to subscribe to anything in the first place. I've already opted out of email notification, so the only thing that this automatic-subscription thing does is to make have to do what you've described.

that's odd - i didn't see that the first time i read it



and yes, it's a royal pain to have to uncheck every single time - eric told me there was no way to set "unchecked" as a default though

Like Eric K said, just hit ADD REPLY, instead of FAST REPLY. That will honor your email settings in your profile.

ok - what i should have said was, eric told me there was no way, within this software, to set a default that did not require you to "click" anything, allowing you to reply without having to either hit the reply button, or uncheck the email notification button - one of those steps is necessary to prevent unwanted email - it's very much like junk marketing these days - you have to opt out in order to not get the crap - it should be the other way around
