It’s not a big deal, but I have like 3 pages of subscribed threads. I was hoping to pare that down a bit, as it’s a chore to troll through the ones I don’t care about anymore.

Is there a quick and easy way to do this? I havent’ been able to find one.

You go to your User Control Panel, and where your current subscribed threads are listed, there’s a link to View All Subscribed Threads. Click it. Check the boxes that say None, for the threads you want to delete. If you want to delete all the ones on a page, click the Notification box. Scroll down to the blue bar that says Selected Threads and has a context menu. Select Delete Subscription and Go. Done!
