Why do I keep coming back here

Mbum-removing subscriptions is a royal pain in the bum. I love that there’s the “clean out old subscriptions” option, but if there are more than a few old threads I want to stay subscribed to it’s not really a good option. So:

1) Is there any way CZ can add “check here to unsubscribe” functionality? This would be amazingly awesome, and considering how many other sites have this sort of thing I can’t imagine the coding would be that problematic.

2) Does someone have a GreaseMonkey script that could do this already?

And yes, I know, my own damn fault for subscribing to a lot of forums, but I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s done this.

open the threads you want to keep in a new tab, clean up all subscription, then go through each tab clicking the subscribe bumon

is this feasible?

I have 67 pages of useless subscriptions myself

I just never unsubscribe from anything.

If a thread’s dead, why bother unsubscribing? It’ll never come back up anyway, and if it does it can probably be safely ignored.

Considered it, but either way it’s going to be a hell of a lot of work. I have 22 pages of subscriptions, which is nowhere near as bad as yours but still feels like a hell of a lot to me.

I’m a little OCD about things like that. No real functional reason, just my hangup.

Trying to create drama to drum up the ratings by any means necessary!

In the meantime, right click and “open in new tab” on the unsubscribe bumons you want, and it’ll unsubscribe you in a new tab. When you’re done with one page, close all tabs but the one you’re one. Wash, rinse, repeat.

That’s why I’m down to 22 pages from 26. It’s still seriously slow going, though.

(Mostly because I keep stopping to re-read threads, honestly.)
