Okay, so I'm not a new member/user, but I have run into a bit of a glitch here.
When I click on the "my topics" entry on the very top(in between "my blog" and "my controls", I am presented with a full page of topics!

I read thru your instructions regarding subscriptions(found on the left panel after clicking on "my controls". It would appear that there is a huge difference in the number of "subscribed topics" vs just clicking on the "my topics".

Can you help me tidy this up,please?

Thank you

The my topics listing will show all topics that you've posted to back about 30 - 60 days.
There is no user modification for this listing.

Topics that one subscribes to will generate a PM notification when a new post is added to the thread.

So will these eventually drop off after a few months? I'd hate to have to search thru numerous pages to find my topics.

Thanks for the input!

The 'my topics listing' does have an end date. Mine appears to be about 60 +\- days.

Topics subscribed to continue on unless one unsubscribes.

/And you're welcome.

How do I unsubscribe my account?

Contact an Admin

I do have one question; How I can unsunscribe from a single topic, but remain subscribed to all the other topics that I post it, or have posted in?

The first post applies to that.

I have read all postings in this topic. It has been very informative, except for one thing.

When I go to my controls, and attempt to look for the title explained in post 1 I do not have that link. I also do not have a manage anywhere on the page.
I went to my controls and went looking...nada.

All I want to do is unsub from the misplaced HJT logs forum.

Any and all help would be appreciated.

Thank you
