I generally like the "show new replies to your posts" link but ...no offense....if I see the "Caption the avatar above you" one more time, Im gonna scream, pull my hair out and then hack into a stoplight computer terminal.
I made the mistake of posting in there and now I am seeing the thread alllll the time :(
And it's not different people posting...its like the same 3 or 4 people posting every 13 minutes for the last 30 days lol.
Is there a way I can "ignore" this somehow, or am I forced to live with it because I posted in their before?
That would be AWESOME!!!!!
First Method
Click on your profile button (Where you can change your account settings)
Click on Modify Profile and go down and select ignore Board options
Then select what you want, then save
Second Method
Click on your profile button (Where you can change your account settings)
Click on Modify Profile and go down and select notifications
Then select what you want then save.
You could use a combination of both methods. I believe in 'Notifications' you can select which current thread you are being notified on to delete it while still receiving notifications for the ones that you want to be notified on.
I hope this helps you.

Ignoring a "Board" would cause it to ignore all threads within that board, not just the offending thread. Unless that is the only thread included in that Board.

yeah that's what im afraid of.
So if I delete my post in that thread, it will disappear from my list?

Don't respond to it... When it shows on your email, delete the email
She means, is there a way to stop a thread from showing up under the link "Show new replies to your posts?" I find that I do not want to be notified of 80% of the replies that occur anyway. It seems that those methods described above only stop you from being notified via e-mail or PM.
There is an unnotify button right next to the .... Wait for it... Reply button :laugh: Surprise!!! :laugh:

That doesn't work with my dilemma. Trust me, I tried it.
I am taking the other ideas about deleting my post from that thread. :)
Oh darn, Oh well, there's a suggestion for the suggestion box :)
I've wondered this as well, there are select boxes down the right hand side but no option to click "unsubscribe". That would be such an awesome improvement to the site!!!! Would also really help to remove the temptation of going back into threads that just irk you and make you post facepalm pics etc. lols.

Why not post to Admin or Mods and ask them
Cindy
reply #4 was by a mod so I think they know, just need to pass it on to someone who could make the change if they deem it worthy! WHICH IT IS!! xP
Most of the mods are newbies try Admin
Mmm
I meant and thought it as honest advice. The Admin staff are a lot more experienced than most of the Mods. They, at least senior Admin, also have access to the program people who do the background stuff.
Didn't mean it any more than that.
They are in ToS as the people to contact if there is a problem.

Yeah, we unbroken coltish mods are only good for pulling wagons... ;D
Sometimes I have wanted to completely ignore a thread but I am glad that we can't exercise that degree of control here at Susan's. Most people like to live within their own little safe and cosy comfort zone, where little that is disagreeable ever enters. I feel that you can learn a lot about yourself by noticing what things and what types of people annoy you. For example people who are big on surgery and who post saying ' I just had a BA and now I am going for FFS just after that I am going to get my Orchiectomy a few months before my SRS. I am taking pills A, B, and C, do you think that I should also take pills D and E? Well I've got to run because I am off to see my psychiatrist, my gender therapist, and my endocrinologist. Phew I almost forgot! I am thinking of getting gynaecologist(just in case tee-hee) can anyone recommend one in the ...area?' :laugh: I learned a lot about myself from reading those sorts of posts, had I magical 'ignore thread' button I wouldn't have deepened my knowledge of the gender community or gained a greater understanding of myself.

So you click on quotes text and up this pops. You view the reply or unsubscribe as indicated
Cindy
Just to be clear, this is from an email notification? So the user has to have email notifications turned on in order to see this unsubscribe link?
My turn to be dumb. How do you get replies from S's without an email link? If you are a full member, you have to have email. That was my understanding? Otherwise you cannot communicate :-\
Cindy
It also suggests that there is a team of people at Susan's who know what they are doing, as they send notifications.
Mmmm :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
But whatever you do, don't reply to them :laugh: :laugh:

They are talking about the links that are next to your avatar at the top of the page were it says:
Hello Member
Show unread posts since last visit
Show new replies to your posts
Date, Time
Yes, i just use the 'unread posts/new replies' links (saved as bookmarks) to see what's been happening since I last visited. I don't like tidal waves of notifications in my email inbox :).
Hi Sis,
I'll call in a minute.
I get email notifications to my gmail account. They have titles, like Susan's : 'How do I get rid of this pesky account' I click on it and it has a link saying: see quoted topic. I click on that and the info that I pasted from Zoe's reply comes up. If I don't want to see that thread again I click on unsubscribe and it gives me choice of yes or no.
Done.
Obviously there a machinations in place. I haven't done anything special (or maybe I have >:-)) it was like this since I joined. I would hate to keep getting crap from some of the threads I have been in.
I think we need FA or someone to clear this because possibly some of the abuse stuff is coming from people who keep getting "Is a TG, a TS, ACD or a FW" I just turn them off even if I have replied previously, if I don't like the discussion I'm out., so I'm not involved in the argument that I'm not interested in.
Cindy
So we now know how to unsubsrcibe from a 'I was a teenage pain in the ass and want to tell you all about it' thread.?
Cindy
Padma,
I will drop you in as the Mod :-* :laugh:
List the instructions.
Cindy (there is fun in retirement)
Okay, the settings for this are in the User Profile section, here:
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yoxi.net%2Fanitya%2Fnotify.jpg&hash=d2b0f9f11aad6f1e37e781d06917144a4a402780)
where you can choose to have notifications of replies to threads you've posted in - or not :).
As for saving a few clicks, I just click on (for example) the Show new replies to your posts. link, and then bookmark the resulting page (which knows which user you are, since you're already logged in, naturally ;)). Then I can just hit that bookmark in my browser to go straight to that page any time afterwards.

I do accept worship at my feet, toe sucking is OK,
But I'm also ok with just 'Cindy you are the Goddess of the Universe' .
I'm a humble perfection.
Hugs
Cindy
Cindy, your modesty is legendary... ;D
I'll have that in writing, but I didn't believe it so I had a Mass written to sing it, Will and Kate are going to lick my shoes as Elton sings.
Damn I do not have time for all of this, I have to save the world.
Cindy girds her loins.
Where have all the girders gone she laments.

That's exactly the one I was talking about... and there's no way to unsubscribe from a post so that it doesn't show up in "Show new replies to your posts" unless you delete everything you did in that thread. :)
From what I understand all that would do is Stop Email notifications. We had already told them how to do that.
You will still see the thread when you click on "Show unread posts.." or "Show new replies to.."
I turned off the Email notification when I first started, that would be way to many emails for me to handle.
Unless I am totally misunderstanding the whole issue.
yeah this has nothing to do with email notifications...
it's to do with unsubscribing from threads that appear in the "show new replies to your posts" (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php?action=unreadreplies) list, posts that you've responded to at some point but no longer want to receive updates about.
There are check boxes to the right for each individual thread it's just a case of implementing an "unsubscribe" option. There are already options for "mark all messages as read", "mark selected read" but that only removes them once, if a new reply is posted in that particular thread then it pops up again. Adding an "unsubscribe" button next to these other two options would be the best solution.
You have lost me?
I do not get indications or information from posts that I have may have posted in, an no longer want to see..
Which is what the poster wanted to know, I think?
So if I no longer want to get capture the avatar do what I said and you will loose it, until you post again in that thread.

At the top of the page, under the "Hello [Your Name]", there are two links:
Show unread posts since last visit and
Show new replies to your posts. The question being asked in this thread is how to get posts to stop showing up in the bottom link, not about stopping email notifications. Email notifications can be turned off in your profile, but the the "Show new replies..." link has no mechanism for turning certain threads on and off.
Here's the issue: say you make a thoughtful contribution to a thoughtful thread, then go make a frivolous post in a trivia thread. What the OP wanted was to make it so the trivial post stopped showing up under the "Show new replies..." link because they don't care to see new replies in that thread, but they want to keep the thoughtful post under the "Show new replies..." link so they can easily return to the thread.

exactly :D
I think that the answer is to not make a post in a so-called trivia thread if you aren't prepared to keep seeing it resurface.
I think the easiest solution is to just read what you want, then click the box after the thread (or at the top if there are several) and hit Mark Selected Read.
And they are gone.

when you are new here you would not think that someone would post in the same thread every few minutes for 30 straight days

Sorry Annah my post comes across as rather cheeky which was not my intention. I have posted in one very popular thread and I did start to get annoyed as these types of posts really do seem to attract a lot of daily attention. I guess that you just have to try and live with these types of post. I am not a fan of censorship so I tend to think of these threads as a test of my acceptance of divergent/or irritating opinions. I find that this works. :)
