How do you disable this for threads I don't want to read anymore?
-
The Notify button turns into an "unnotify" button. Just click it and confirm that you do not want to receive notifications.
Or edit your profile, find your wan to Modify Profile -> Notifications. There you can check each of your current notifications you don't want, and click the Unnotify button at the bottom of the page.
-
I tried doing that but I got emails instead. I think that button is to enable email notification.
-
CLicking UNNOTIFY should cause you to stop receiving emails. If you look at Modify Profile -> Notifications, then unnotify a thread you are watching, then refresh the Modigy Profile -> Notifications page, that thread should disappear from the list.
If not, try PMing one of the mods.
-
What I meant was, I know how the notification button works but I want to do something different. You know the list of threads in "show new replies to your posts"? I wanted to not have some threads show up in there again.... I vaguely remember an "unfollow" button. Maybe that was for another forum... maybe the feature doesn't exist here... but I'm just asking because I like it to be clean and empty :P darn ocd :P.
-
The query that generates that list is a function of the threads you have replied to, not what you have subscribed to.
-
rknize, so is there a way to ignore those threads? I also have some threads that I no longer wish to read updates from, and they clutter my "New" page. It's not a big problem, and I am sure I could live with it. Just wondering if there is any way of blacklisting some threads.
Especially when some people necro the hell out of some threads xD.
-
Yeah, I know what you mean. I'll add it to the list of features that will require a DB schema change.
-
Awesome :D
-
This has been annoying me too! Glad to hear I'm not alone. :)
-
There was a good few days I searched around for the option to remove some threads from my "new" list. Glad to hear the option will be implemented.
-
just keep in mind that our todo-list is a hulking monstrosity at this point, and the highest priority right now are some end-user-invisible back-end changes, so you won't start seeing big changes to the UI etc. for a bit.
-
i'd like this change too, just to jump in, but i can also say that it's not really a hassle to work around.
unless you habitually respond to threads so you can have an improperly inflated post count!!!!!!!!!!1111oneoneoneone

I would also like to see this implemented... When I visit GH, I click on "New" but then I have to sort through a bunch of threads I'm not interested in, to find the threads that I want to follow. TIA
-
I like the idea of this feature ;) I wonder... could it be implemented as a toggle, so you could have threads that you haven't replied to appear in your 'new' posts list?
-
You guys want to add more things? We have the Spy and Unread since last visit and All Unread Topics. I literally go through every unread topic, even if there are 6-32 (my most) pages of them.
-
Damn sight more useful than 184 pixel avatars :rolleyes:
More than 3 or 4 pages of 'unread' and I just can't be bothered to even scan it. This forum has got a lot busier and noisier than it was, and tools like this can really help to accomodate everyone.
-
The "New" button on the toolbar is a shortcut to a list of topics to which you have previously posted that have received new posts since the last time you visited them. I use this query the most by far, since I usually only have a few moments to check up on the board. It's nice to keep up with conversations that I am currently engaged in.
One nuisance of this feature is if you post to a thread that you aren't interested in anymore. If it is a very active thread, like "What did you get in the mail today?" or an active group buy that you didn't partake in, it would be nice if you could ignore them. That is what I plan on adding.
I think Soarer is suggesting something like "Favorites". SMF already implements this via Notifications.

^This.
I log in sometimes to see pages of posts, and all I can think is; "why in the heck did I ever post in that thread?"
-
No no no! Not notifications, they're too intrusive to use on more than a couple of threads at a time.
I can't picture what the code or UI will look like for removing threads from "New" posts, but ultimately I presume it's effectively a flag per thread somewhere that you are proposing to allow us to turn off... all I'm suggesting is: why not let us toggle it instead? I know I'd use it, and maybe it doesn't add to the implementation effort significantly.
-
A checkbox by each thread (like in notifications), and a remove button to remove the threads that have been checked.
