Okay, so this is a weird one. Every time @toctheyounger posts/updates his Bruna primer over on the EDH subforum, I get a notification saying toc replied to something I wrote. I'm not sure why this happened, but he's definitely not replying to anything I said over there, especially in generic posts without @'s or quotes. I mean, I enjoy toc's work and his Bruna list is sweet, but I'm not hanging on its every post like the website seems to think.

Is there a fix? It's really not a big problem, but it does screw up the dopamine feedback loop that notifications are designed to provide and I do like me some dopamine. In the mean time, I guess I'll go see what midnight hunt is adding to monowhite moat control.

You know you love it. Perhaos you've clicked a button to subscribe to the thread somewhere along the line.

Honestly at least the thread isn't that active. If it were Varina you'd be tearing your hair out. Not bragging, its actually quite a bit of work keeping up with that primer.

See that's what I thought, but I can't find how to unsubscribe (sorry). But you're right, maybe I should be counting lucky stars instead lol

Nah I get it. I've contributed to many a thread I don't need to be involved in anymore.

hmm.
Lets make sure you're not subscribed first:

Thanks, Feyd. I must have accidentally pressed the subscribe option months ago. Glad it wasn't an actual bug.

Cool.
To be safe, go to your posting defaults:
ucp.php?i=ucp_prefs&mode=post

And make sure you're not auto-subscribing to topics you post to.

If this is on, you'll always subscribe to topics when you post to them. This is off by default, but I could have messed that up when you first joined (I know it was accidentally on by default at one time)
