forum “Unfollow” settings conflicting with auto-subscribe

Hi andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer),

I’ve subscribed to certain boards on the forum because I’m interested in the topics, and so I get notifications for new threads and posts (all good), but it seems I am unable to permanently unfollow any of those threads. For example, I got notifications for “friends on the Forums” since I’m subscribed to the Site Support board. I have clicked “Stop Following” on that thread at least five times, but every time someone posts a new reply, I get subscribed to it again and notified of the reply. Is this supposed to happen?

I would like to remain subscribed to the boards I’ve chosen, with the ability to unfollow certain threads in those boards, no matter how frequently they’re posted to, if possible. :)

Hmm, that doesn't sound like it's working how it should. I'll double check with the forum devs and see if that's intended. I think it makes sense to subscribe to boards but be able to unfollow threads too. :)
