Accidentally, I was posting a new thread to MPSIMS (I changed my mind and did it in the Pit a fraction of a second later), and clicked the “Subscribe to this thread” link.

After a few seconds, I realized what I think I have just done. I also realize the sheer volume of business the MPSIMS Forum does.

:eek:

:eek: :eek: :smack:

So, I’m zippin’ around, but I can’t find any “unsubscribe” link?

So how do I? I don’t want to spam my own e-mail address. That would be just the most ironic thing I could think of. ☹

Help a poor fellah out, would you?

**Tripler** , go to User CP and you’ll see all the threads and forums to which you’re subscribed (including, I think, ones you’ve posted to but didn’t actually click the Subscribe button). Below each thread or forum is an Unsubscribe link.
