Is there a way to stop following a specific thread that you posted in, under the "new replies to your posts" tool?
I like this tool, to follow threads that i have had input in, but some of them get off topic and never end, then seem to be there everytime i it
A different way to follow a thread is to select "Notify" from the buttons at the top or bottom of the page, and then you'll get a reminder e-mail. (Of course you end up getting more e-mail, which not every reader wants.) I use "Notify" to follow some military or personal-finance threads which may lie dormant for weeks before generating a new insightful comment. True, there's a lot of thread drift, but some of my best insights have come from those unexpected derailments.
You can turn off "Notify". Since I use that to follow threads, I hardly ever click on "new replies to your post" unless I'm trying to find a thread.
No. You can only do so by going back and deleting all posts in that thread. Please don't do that - it makes the thread incoherent and deprives everyone else of your opinion.
It absolutely destroys a forum history, too. I've had posters try to commit online suicide or to regain their anonymity, and after a couple cases of that the moderators have limited or even turned off the "Modify" button.
