Over done threads.

[Paulabass]

Is there a way on TB to stop following a particular thread. I'm a little sick of 59 alerts about playing with a pick. If the thread won't fizzle by itself, can I put it out of it's mercy on my computer?

Your Account, Alert Preferences. Tons of alerts you can toggle on or off.

Also if you’ve clicked on Watch Thread in a particular thread, toggle it to Unwatch Thread.

First post in the thread, maybe first post on every page, should have a watch/unwatch button above it and to the right.

Above the first post is that blue line with the post number on the right, above that it says, "Watch Thread" if already are it will say, "Unwatch Thread" click on it.

Enjoy the silence.

There’s also a submenu tab under the main menu for “Watched Threads”. Edit that as desired.

Some of this stuff might appear differently, depending on what forum view you’ve selected. But it’s there.

Thanks y'all. I guess I should have looked closer.

Now that this has been answered by three at the same time, you can now use this information to "Unwatch" this now unnecessary Thread.

Precisely my reaction. What went wrong there??

I thought this would be about lame thread topics that never go away. I can think of a few that people can stop revisiting.

I have robot software that autoscans all TalkBass threads in their entirety for many keywords and phrases.. such as "sensible", 'good choice', "wise", 'sane", 'great idea ', "excellent post"....

so far....nothing..

 

[Aberdumbie]

Darn... Was hoping for a thread on pick technique...

 

[Pilgrim]

The whole idea of eyebrow threading seems to me like the answer to a question that NO ONE ever asked. It ranks very high on the list of things that never needed to happen.

This is over done too....

I know I’m tired of threads about ‘treating a band like a business’ and etc... yep. God forbid someone start another one of those...

 

[T_Bone_TL]

The recent run of flatulence and toilet themed threads makes me want an ignore thread setting so I never have to see that not only did someone start a thread primarily of interest to Jr. High School boys, but other people keep responding to the stupid things, and many (perhaps even all) of them are not in Jr High.

I believe (though I'm not sure) is that you only continue to get new alerts to a thread if you re-visit that thread. There are several ongoing threads that I never get notifications for anymore because I never went back to the thread.
