Turn off Notifications or have control over what notifications I get.

Question

I have 1447 notifications currently solely because I have joined the sub forum just so I can ask questions! 
 I can imagine that some others have an exponential amount more for each sub forum. 
 I just want control over the notifications for the replies on posts I've made/interacted with, new posts etc. But I get a notification for Every. Single. Action. on the forums i've joined. 
 I can't even tell if my posts have been interacted with unless I laboriously trawl through to find them!

Hi Emile, 
 You can manage these settings if you click your profile picture in the top right corner and select "settings." 
 On the settings page, click 'notifications' to adjust what you are notified for.

In the above example I have chosen to only get notifications for posts I am subscribed to, which should prevent me from getting notifications for every new thread that is created in forums I am subscribed too. 
 Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions

We have now improved the notifications so that everyone will receive less. We have removed the historical subscriptions and now if you interact with the thread (start a thread, or post a message, or select to be notified about updates to that particular one) then you do get subscribed.
