What's the oddest name you've found?

FREAK ….. and variants. They get into County Durham in 1841.

I don't know how I can say it any more clearly.  There is NO unnotify button at the top or at the bottom of the page.  Do I have to send screen shots as Proof?

The obvious thing to do now is to take it up with the site owner(s), as the responses you (and others) have had are clearly unsatisfactory.

I had a look and was quite unable to see 'unnotify' on any threads to which I'd contributed, in common with Erato.

I went into my profile, and in 'email notifications' I checked  Turn email notification on when you post or reply to a topic. which had previously been turned off (I don't like email notifications).

Then I posted a new thread and now I can see 'unnotify' on that thread, but not on any I posted before I altered the preference in my profile. I can now also see it on this thread.

So I suggest that is why Erato doesn't see 'unnotify', because she has email notifications turned off.

"because she has email notifications turned off."

Yes, that seems to be the case.  If you don't enable email notification, then you can't 'unnotify.'  I don't see why that should be so, but there it is.  Since I don't want email notification, I guess I have to live with all the no-longer interesting topics appearing in my 'New Replies' list.

No, use the 'ignore' facility and then they won't appear in 'new replies' either.

Peruse this thread in which Gadget explains all.

Thank you.  I have now made the suggested change to my profile.  An unlabeled check box has now appeared and I trust that checking it will produce the desired effect.  I must say that the description of that layout option on the help page could not possibly be more useless.  Here's what it says but what it is intended to mean eludes me:

Well, hopefully you will now no longer have see this in your ‘unreads’.

Sometimes I've had an "Un-notify" button there, and followed through the procedure .... and it works. sometimes it doesn't... as on this thread. And sometimes, there simply isn't a button there, between "notify" and "mark unread"....

When replies that you don't want to see appear in the New Reply or Unread Lists, you have to click in the Ignore checkbox before you read them. I often make this mistake and have to wait until the next reply comes up or do a 'previous page' and click that way.
