Deleting AW Thread Subscriptions En Masse

Maryn · Dec 15, 2009

When I was new here, I apparently subscribed by default to all threads I posted in. A long time passed before I figured out how to change that.

But I still have nearly 2000 threads to which I'm subscribed. Yes, I know how to delete a subscription, checking the box for each one--but c'mon, I've got 75 pages worth. There's got to be a better way.

How can I delete all subscriptions on a page in one step, or all subscriptions, period? I can resubscribe to the dozen or so I want pretty easily.

There's a box at the top of each page of twenty for 'check all', so you can at least do twenty at a time.

Oh, and I meant to add - you can then go to another page without unchecking them all, so while you need to go to each page and click the 'check all' box, you can, at the end, delete them all at once.

Maryn, make sure you change your Default Thread Subscripton Mode on your profile's Edit Options here; scroll down to where it says Default Thread Subscription.

Woo-hoo, it hadn't occurred to me that the Notification box would check all. I deleted nearly half my subscriptions today, although after a while your eyes get googly and you start making mistakes.

Thanks, everybody!

Maryn, under a thousand
