can subscription be turned off?

Actually, now that I look, it's not doing anything special, it does that on ALL threads. So I guess the only functionality I get from subscriptions is the ability to go to User CP, click on List Subscriptions, and see a list of all the threads I've subscribed to, ie all the ones I've posted on. And now that I think about it, I don't think I ever TOLD it to subscribe me to them, it just does it. Does it do that for you guys too?

Whenever there is a new reply to a thread on my PC. The topic is in a little more darker color and has also been put on top of all the others unless a new reply has been made to yet another Thread after that one. This automatically lets me know there are new posts to different threads. Once I read the post I click back on the KY Discussion board link and the color changes back to normal after the new screen pops back up. This might be the same for everyone else, but won't change in color if you just click on the go back button each time.

Hope this helps.....
