Is there a way to delete/remove threads?

Ronald Reagan once said nothing comes as close to eternal life as a government program.

Well, I suggest a second option…a thread that won't go away because people can't leave it to die.

So, is there a way to remove threads in this forum under the bell (because I unfortunately commented on them) which we no longer wish to see?

    It sounds like it would be helpful for you to edit your notification settings.

    @Aaron Hamilton first, one needs a master's degree to understand all the jargon there. But after weeding through it, I see where I can turn off notifications for replies to posts on which I've commented, but only ALL of them. I can't turn off notifications for the old ones and leave it on for the new ones. (Some of these threads go back fifteen years and are actually annoying when someone brings them back to the top.)

    I'd like to see comments for a week or three, but not for ten years. Make sense?

    (They need to add a check box to turn off notifications for posts more than x years old.)

    I understand how having more personalization options in the notifications settings could be helpful. For the time being, however, if you want direct control over your notifications, you can turn notifications on for bookmarked threads. Then, you can pick and choose which threads will send notifications your way. You can also manage bookmarked threads under quick links or in the dropdown menu under the profile pic.

    Glad I don't use notifications. Lost my masters degree.
