    The screenshot intimates that you're attempting to unsubscribe from an entire forum, as opposed to unsubscribing from a thread itself.

    Do you get the error when attempting to unsubscribe from an actual thread itself?

    And secondly, you're attempting then I take it to stop all subscriptions to threads located within the For Sale / Wanted forum?

    Looks like a bug to me! In the URL you'll notice a f= but not a t=.
    /wonders if it'll be fixed in the next release

    edit: confirmed bug (just had a look at the code).

    Cheers for the replys guys. Yeah i'm subscribed to the entire forum (no idea how i did it) and every day i get an email saying what updates have been made to the for sale forum. The URL i get when i click unsubscribe is

    http://forums.bit-tech.net/subscription.php?do=removesubscription&f=5

    instead of this right

    http://forums.bit-tech.net/subscription.php?do=removesubscription&return=ucp&t=57538

    I assume the "f" is the problem?? I have no idea about the coding side of it but i wasn't sure if i was being a n00b or there was a general bug

    It's f for forum, t for thread. Weird bug, I've never managed to set up a subscription to a forum myself yet!

    As a quick fix, I could wipe all your thread subscriptions fairly easily without having to go rummaging around. That'll mean you'll loose all subscriptions mind.

    Yeah go on then just wipe the lot. Its starting to bug the hell outta me. :wallbash:
    Tbh i have absolutly no idea how i managed to sign up to the entire forum but you know things happen. I'll just subscribe back up to the threads that i need to. :D

    Cheers for taking notice and trying to sort it out. I appreciate it. :thumb:

    EDIT: Can you send me a quick mail please when they have been deleted so that i know to go and subscribe back again. Cheers :)

    I'm currently subscribed to 4 forums (not that I mind, I don't get any mail from them) I remember why though

    the old forum software had the "mark all read" and "subscribe to forum" links right next to each other, and @ 1600x1200 it's kinda hard to tell the difference, so I ended up getting subscribe to them :hehe:

    anyway, hope the subscription clearing takes care of it :)
