Can't unsubscribe from a topic

Post by DaveT1 » 27 Jan 2021, 09:15

Hi,

I've reccently subscribed to more forums with the aim of becoming more 'AHK aware'. As expected I get more email notifcations of new topics (good), but I can't seem to unsubscribe from those I'm less interested in (bad). I've tried unsubscribing 2 ways:

1. From the topic settings

I must confess that I find the 'Subscribe topic' check box a little hard to follow. I would read what's shown in the pic as already being subscribed to the topic. But when I click to uncheck the box I get a pop-up thus:

So now it seems that the un-checked box means that I'm subscribed to the topic. So I click again to return to being checked, and I get a pop-up telling me that I have unsubscribed. But I still get notifications on the topic.......Ah, just now wondering if the messages in the popups are the wrong way round? Perhaps I need to uncheck the box and ignore the subsequent popup?

2. From the "Unsubscribe topic" link in the notification emails

This takes me to a forum page asking me to confirm that I wish to unsubscribe from the topic in question. I frequently, though not always, get the following message:

--o0o--

So, I'm figuring that I'm not doing the unsubscribe thing correctly - can anyone give some guidance?

Cheers.

I'm not sure I've experienced this, but try the Manage Subscriptions page here.

Hope this helps

Many thanks for getting back @joedf, esp. when there seem to be other more important forum issues.

I'm not sure what is going on, but after having gone through the Manage Subscriptions page (and thanks for pointing that out), the topic settings drop down menu now seems to behave differently and more like I would expect. I'll keep an eye on it and see if I can get the hang of it :?

Thanks again for the input.
