Stopping notifications for threads commented on

Hi, 
i have looked on both the web and mobile version of the forum and I can’t seem to find a way to stop being notified about new comments on a thread. I can do a global setting but not a single one.

For example, I’ve commented on something and I no longer want to know when there are new comments on that thread - how do I stop them?

im sure its really obvious 🤦‍♀️

    I think the answer, sadly, is that it's not possible.
    The MSE team can tinker with the innards of this 'new improved' vanilla system, but ..... ;)
  • Hi,
    click the notification icon, like a little bell, top right, then the three lines and edit choices.

    But, like the OP said ...
     I can do a global setting but not a single one.

    I use Bookmarked threads to track those I want to follow and then only have notifications turned on for my own threads.

    Seems to work.
    How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - rolling 12 month spends to date = 2.85% of current retirement "pot" (as at end October 2026)

    Ahh that’s a good workaround - thanks ☺️
