RND, uncheck "Subscribe to this post" under the quick reply box? Post, then check on another thread to see if it's reapplied? (dunno... just throwing out thoughts.)
EDIT:
Doh... better one for you.
At the top, where it says "Welcome Redneckdude (Sign out | Options)"
Click Options -> View All Options
Uncheck "Auto subscribe to new posts and replies you create" and save.
See if that does it?

Unsubscribe is broken.
It lets you unsubscribe and takes it from the subscribe list. It doesn't however clear the notification (i.e. the number of posts that have new updates)
Once you go back into the post, you see that you are still subscribed, even though it is no longer listed in your "subscribed threads" list.
edit: Did check to make sure auto-subscribe is still off and it is.

I.D did everything...didn't need doc.
^ does need some love, though.

Well, it looks like the site still subscribes you to all replied on threads.
That's a feature. 
Never used to be auto checked. I used to have to put that check mark there manually. This way, you're forced to uncheck it every time you reply to a thread.....not fun.

I have "Auto subscribe to new posts and replies you create" unchecked in options, yet I am subscribed every time I reply anyway. Even on this thread, each and every time I have replied, the site has added this thread back to my subscriptions, and each and every time, I have unchecked the box. Pita......

If it's a feature, it's either malfunctioning, or it's a terrible feature.

Well, my Subscribe is still checked no matter what I do. I have to uncheck it manually every time I post.

Well, it was worth the thought. Ok, it's borked.

Jafo, really, it has always been blank, and you mark it if you want to subscribe. Now, it automatically subscribes you if you reply. You unsubscribe, reply again, you're subscribed again. It has never worked that way before.

Nope...for me it has always been ticked.
I'm sure Bastards Inc. simply had it in for me from Day One ....

I have NEVER seen it work any other way.
If its function was to not....then it works....
I was like that when the "feature" was first introduced. Then enough people complained and they changed it to un checked by default. I COULD try to find the thread.......

2 thirds ..... if you managed to get it fixed it lasted around 5 minutes or so....and happily went back to 'normal'...
I'm checked everywhere also. It doesn't bother me. I don't even bother unchecking... 
Reply #39 Thursday, August 21, 2014 2:45 PM
Well, I must be a curmudgeon. I hope they fix it. Having to manually uncheck things, or settle for having a shitload of unwanted subscriptions is a royal pain in the ass.
Please fix it......please.....lol...waaaaa....

Subscribing to a post should be a decision made by the user, not the site coding. Is anybody going to take user complaints seriously on this? It's been brought up before, so please just take care of it, it is not a joking matter.
