Canceling Alerts?

FUCK IT!
I'm not interested in getting an alert every time someone comments in a thread I started.
Is there any way to cancel alerts?

Change your email address in your profile to a nonexistent address you’ll still get alerts but you won’t see them, you can also turn off notifications in your own email settings

You guys must have had the alerts on before the last site update. I always had mine turned off, and I still don't get them. The ability to turn them off is probably a feature that will come back at some point.

25, i'm not getting email alerts, the alerts are on site. Just now when I arrived here I have 14 new alerts since last night. Now I will have to delete each of them 1 at a time.

Orange, since i never cared about them i'm pretty sure that i also had them turned off prior to this new version but i can't 100% verify that now.

Founder, we need the option to turn them off!

@OSU - There is an option to delete them all at once. It says something like "clear all alerts". Hit it and you get a confirmation "Okay to delete all?" Hit yes and that's it. I can't verify the exact wording or locations because I don't have any alerts at the moment, but I've used it before.

I looked all over last night before I started this thread. Didn't find anything. I think that option is gone but I will look again right now.

(a) alerts via email, which can be worked-around by the email-change methodmentioned

(b) alerts on Alerts web page at TUSCL, which only show up for topics which you STARTED, not necessarily merely replied to, and which can be batch deleted on that web page

I think :P ?
