Workaround to "Questions You're Following" and/or "Notify me of new responses" bug

If you click on the "Notify me of new responses" link at the top of

the page, you'll receive emails whenever anyone adds to the

thread (in theory - some have said otherwise...) Links to threads

you're watching show up in your "My Workspace" page, but

there's no way to un-subscribe from watching those threads

other than clicking on a link in the email that gets sent following

an update to the thread. So what do you do when the thread dies

and you're no longer interested, but you can't remove it from your

workspace?

 

Go to the message you're no longer interested in and respond to

it- that should send you an email that will provide you with a link

to unsubscribe from watching that message, and remove it from

the "Questions You're Following" section of your "My

Workspace".

This is a very unattractive workaround because it clutters the threads. Imagine what the archives would look like if every added such person responded to undesirable threads.

I agree completely. It would be much more attractive if Photo.net

gave users an interface to remove unwanted "watched" threads.

Just have patience: someone responded last night to a thread I'd been watching but hadn't been added to for months. So I pounced in and unsubscribed.

 

Half the time I hit 'Notify me of new responses' by accident.
