Question about "watched threads"

[Rosie1]

It looks like it is automatically watching threads after I reply to them.
Is there a way to change from the default? I definitely don't remember to uncheck anything before replying.

Yep, select 'preferences' page from the drop-down off of your username at the top of the screen and the uncheck "Automatically watch threads that you create or when you reply..."

Thanks! I overlooked it when I was on that page yesterday. haha

Thanks, bean stew, that helped me too.

Ok. I did what beanstew suggested and unclicked the "automatically watch..." and the "receive emails" one. I just got an email, though, saying there was a new reply to a watched thread. So I had to manually go through the "all watched threads" part and uncheck it. Maybe it'll be okay now since that's the only one I've gotten since making the changes.

Yeah, I think the preference setting only applies to new threads you post in after you change the setting.
