How to disengage from a thread?

[ainslie]

Sorry, I cannot find the answer in FAQs or elsewhere.
If I have contributed a reply to a thread and later do not wish to be notified of new additions to that thread, how can I sever that link, please?

When you receive a notification that someone has replied - there are 2 options in it:

View the reply at: 

Or

Unsubscribe to this topic by clicking here: 

Either click on the unsubscribe link or paste it into your browser

Alternatively click on the "notify" button to disable notifications

You can certainly turn off notifications for a thread but it will still appear in Show new replies to your posts. at the top of the page.

Thanks.  I'll try these ideas and see what happens.

If you ignore the notification and don't open the thread you won't get any more notifications for that thread.

But it will still appear in Show new replies to your posts. at the top of the page, as Aghadowey says

In your profile information, Edit the Notifications and email and Uncheck the bottom choice.  You never need to receive email notification again, just check your "Show new replies to your posts" instead.
