Unfollowing a Forum

Larianne · 2011-06-01 14:12:22

Hello, I want to get rid of two private forums I have listed on the 'My Forums' drop down menu. I don't post in these forums any more or have access but they still appear on the list. I can't find anywhere on my CP to unfollow these forums. Any help? Thanks.

You should have an "Unfollow this forum" button just under the forum name in your CP. I've just tested this and it shows for me.

But the two forums I want to unfollow are not showing up for me on that list. I guess because I don't have access any more.

If the "unfollow this forum" button doesn't work, the this trick Gordon showed me last year should do it:

Thanks IO but how to I find/change the ID to the unwanted forum ID? :o

Quick answer as I'm in a rush - copy the url of any "unsubscribe from this forum" in your User CP and paste that into a browser and change the ID to the old subbed forum ID.

Click on the forums and when you see the "You do not have permission to access this page....", copy the number in your address bar after the "f=" and paste it at the end of this URL

If you're still having trouble with the forum IDs after trying the above, PM me the forum names and I'll get you their ID numbers.
