Suggestion: 1-click thread subscription

No idea if vBulletin supports this or if it can be developed, but could the thread subscription process be streamlined into a one-click subscribe/unsubscribe?

I'd like to keep up with threads that interest me but I don't want to reply to, and it's currently 3 clicks: 1 to drop-down the thread tools button, a second to subscribe, a third to confirm your subscription.

A toggle button on each thread which would turn a subscription on/off instantly would be much nicer.

It may not sounds much but try using the forum on a mobile browser where each click has to re-request the page!

    I know this is an old thread but I found it while trying to find an easier way to unsubscribe from threads. Is there any quicker way than going on to each subscribed thread please? I was suprised to find how many I had and some are no longer relevant. A tick/untick list would be very handy if there's one available? Thanks:)

    If you click "Subscribed Threads" on the "Quick Links" drop down list, then you will get a list of your current subscriptions.

    You can select the ones you want to unsubscribe from or change the subscription type via a tick box.

    And then choose what action you want to take with the selected at the bottom.

    Does that help?

    There isn't a one click subscribe at the moment though.

    Thanks so much I was opening each thread individually, deleting, confirming then going back to quick links. Your way is much easier! Thanks a lot :)
