How do you unsubscribe from a topic that you've posted in? I'd rather not get updates about the "Chess Story" thread, but I can't see any obvious way of unsubscribing from it.

Did you check the box "Track this forum topic" by your eply? If so you should have a chance at that spot to check the box to quit tracking

No, that box is unchecked. It's just a thread I made one post in ages ago, and now it keeps resurfacing in the Topics I have Posted In section.

Delete your main Post (The first post)

Then it shouldnt be your topic anymore.

No, I didn't create the topic, I just made a couple of posts in it way back. It's got something like 4,000 posts so I'd rather not trawl through them all looking for the posts I made so I can delete them.

Oh you didnt create the post?

But uncheck the box is all i can say.. sorry,

or report a bug

you can't change "topics i have posted in". that is just a record of where you have posted. you can't unpost...

Edit

D'oh.

Erik answers very fast.  :) 

Oh i get it now..

why does it matter though/

Let it be on the top of the I posted in Section, it wont bug ya.. but the other thing where it updates and tells you that new comments are posted are more annoying.

gah...this will teach me to post in threads that are obviously going to keep running for evermore.

I don't get the big deal?  If you go to the list of topics you posted in that thread appears in the list, it may be a long list or short. You don't have to open up the thread, it's just one line on a list.  It's not like it's giving you "alert" messages every time you log on is it?

Just move it to FORUMS -> Topics I Have Posted In (But I Now Wish I Hadn't).
