Allow unsubscribe option to threads in "My posts" that one has contributed to but not subscribed to.
There are many posts which show up in "My posts" which are no longer of interest to me.
However, I cannot unsubscribe from them. An option to do so would be very useful.

Is this what you mean? I have tried this for years.

Some years ago I pointed this out but it seemed low priority.
If one RESPONDS to a post, one is subscribed with no option that I can find.

It shows Subscribe for threads you're not subscribed and Unsubscribe for those you are subscribed.
Responding in a thread is one way to subscribe, the common way

I understand that,
The point is, even though I am unsubscribed, it keeps showing up in my posts, and there is now way to turn it off.

So you're not looking for a way to unsubscribe from a post in that list, but rather looking for a filter option to only show the topics you're (still) subscribed to?

Which ever. At present, the system is set up to permanently notify persons who responded to the thread of a new post.
I have been a user of this software pretty much from its beginnings - I have tried to be helpful and have answered many queries.
This now causes a jam of no-longer-useful posts in my feed. There are numerous new posts in many of these threads that already contain the answers. I have no intention of continuing to respond and would like to block them from "My posts".
My initial proposal is to expand the unsubscribe option to any thread that the user no longer wishes to follow.

I think we're stuck on semantics here.
A notification from a subscription means receiving an e-mail when someone responds to the thread. This is in itself not related to the listing of all topics you've participated in (which is what "My Posts" shows).
So yes, you're asking for a new feature; namely filtering "My Posts" narrower into "My Subscribed Posts"; which I believe to be a useful option indeed. So let's see if the web team can add it to their list of things.

Thank you.
I think I get it now.
I was not referring to emails, rather to notifications appearing in "My posts".

So you could unsubscribe. But still it is in the list of your posts and rightfully so, as you did post there. You now just don't get notified about new replies to that post.

You are unsubscribed to that thread, so you won't get notified about new posts to it.
Unsubscribing doesn't remove it from your posts though and indeed shouldn't, as once you did post to it.

I wish this was true. This is what I am requesting.
At the moment those "new replies to that post" still come to the top of my list every time there is a new post to the thread.

But no emails, right?

At the moment. as far as I know. I receive no emails. I would like to keep it that way.
It seems to me that there is still some confusion, at least in me. :)

My understanding: subscribing = receiving emails. If you're subscribed, you receive emails about updates. if you are not subscribed, you don't receive emails. That's the only thing subscribing controls: email. It has nothing to do with whether the thread shows up in the list of your posts. I'd rather unsubscribing didn't lie about that, but maybe there could be an additional option to "hide from list of posts" or something.

If email notifications stopped, unsubscribe did its job.
