Hi Guys,
Quick question: how do I unsubscribe to a message / thread please? My inbox is getting a little overwhelmed.
Thank you,

I don’t know for sure but do you press the little star next to the thread title to toggle your subscription to a thread?
If you are subscribed it would be purple, if not it’s a gold outline. -
Hi @csno01
No problem, it can quickly become overwhelming! To manage your notifications:
1) Click on the cog under your username, in the top right-hand side of your screen.
2) Select edit profile from the drop down list.
3) Select notification preferences from the menu on the right hand side.
4) Select and deselect what you want to receive.
5) Save your preferences at the bottom of the screen.
I hope that helps.Online Community Co-ordinator

Sorry to hear your inbox is becoming a bit jammed! As mentioned above, you simply just navigate to your notification preferences to edit what you receive.Online Community CoordinatorConcerned about another member's safety or wellbeing? Flag your concerns with us.

Hi all
I know how to change what I see but I think this person and myself as well just want to stop seeing posts on a particular thread eg one you have commented on in the past but you dont want to keep constantly getting emails as each person comments
Can you just stop the emails for a single thread -
@janer1967 that’s the way I read the question as well. My response is based on that although I don’t know if it’s the correct answer.

You can also go into your settings and turn off notifications for everything you don't want. This is what i've done, otherwise my inbox would be spammed with emails.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
@66Mustang all mine are gold if I press the star it goes purple is this how to stop getting notifications for that thread
@poppy123456 I know how yo change notifications but we are trying to work out how yo stop getting them just for one thread eg you may have commented on one of the games but no longer want to see all the other comments? -
I am having this problem. I am receiving emails from two threads that are filling up my inbox. I would like to unsubscribe from these two threads, but not for threads I am interested in.

Hi @Steve_in_The_City,
Hopefully one of the moderators might be able to help you on this one .haven’t the steps above worked? -
@Steve_in_The_City Unfortunately, the option to unsubscribe from particular threads isn't available on the community at this time. I appreciate how frustrating that is, apologies.
A possible work around would be to 'bookmark' the threads you want to get notifications for and change your notification preferences to get updates for only these, de-selecting any ticks in other columns as relevant.
To bookmark a thread, click on the small tab icon that sits at the top, right hand side of the thread.
Please let me know if any of the above doesn't make senseOnline Community Co-ordinator

@Cher_Scope @csno01 Thank you for your quick response. As usual, I wasn't quite grasping everything! I have changed my preferences to "notify me when people comment on my discussions." I take it these are discussions I have started and not just participated in?
"Notify me when people comment on bookmarked discussions". I understand that, and will in future bookmark discussions I am interested in.
"Notify me when people mention me" & "notify me of private messages." I understand.
Thank you for your advice. I expect to find a less cluttered in-box!
-
I believe so @Steve_in_The_City, as there's a separate option for 'Notify me when people comment on discussions I've participated in.'
-
Thank you all for your help. I've got it sorted now and have a delightfully uncluttered in-box! Thanks again.
-
Great @Steve_in_The_City No problem!
-
Yes I agree its one particular thread which drives me mad everyday. I need to stop this or I will have to unsubscribe to this forum which is such a shame!
-
Is it someone else's thread, and you're getting notifications for each new comment because you've commented on it before @littleacorn?
-
@Tori_Scope its a thread that gets updates/comments made about 15 times a day!
