I keep getting emails every time someone posts on a particular thread that I don't remember clicking to watch, and in my profile I don't have it checked to send me email notifications for anything. So how can I make the emails stop, short of hunting down and wacking everyone that is posting in that thread?
Rehit the little heart icon
Go to your watch list, find the thread, click remove next to the thread title.

-whistles innocently- Which thread would that be?

Where do I find my watch list? I've never used it before and can't find it anywhere.
In the "Jump To..." dropdown menu its at the bottom

No, that doesn't work.
it did for me … found the thread, and clicked on remove … refreshed … and poof it was gone
In reply to wbjones:
Not that it matters, but there is no "remove", at least on my computer. I clicked on the "watch topic" heart, and it told me I was already watching it.
For that matter, how do I watch a topic? I don't see any hearts, and when I go to my watchlist I says I'm not following any threads?
In reply to petegossett:
When you are in the thread you want to watch, you click on the little red heart at the bottom left of the page.
I don't see a little red heart?
It's at the very bottom of the page, right above the dark grey footer on the left side.
In reply to stanger_missle:
nope
Yes, and if I knew how to take a screen shot I would show you.
It's there on the mobile version of the page, not the desktop version.

Yes, I grabbed my phone and there it is. Thank you.

when you click on the "jump to" and scroll down to "your watch list" you get a list of threads you're following … that's where the "remove" was

I'm on the desktop version and its there.
In reply to wbjones:
I see it now. I was looking for it in the same area as the heart. IMO, it would make sense to put the button you click to watch a thread in the same place as the one you click to stop watching a thread, but what do I know.
Not on my Win7, Firefox 37.0.2 Laptop.
Its there on my iPhone though.
Sounds like a bug for the developers to look into.
