My Subs stays lit. I unsubscribe from everything and get re-subscribed behind my back.

Tried logging out and back in.

Odd. I'll try more computer voodoo, because it never happened before, And the are no other reports here.

Clearing all cookies, rebooting and so on coming soon.

1. You can unsubscribe any time you like

but you can never leave

2. Mine does too. Just ignore it

3. Hmm

From what I can see in DU’s backend, you are still subscribed to one person and one forum. If you go ahead and try unsubscribing from them again, I can check to see if it worked, or if there is a bug. Let me know.

4. I unchecked everything and got re-subscribed.

Never happened before. I will take a minute and clear all cookies and restart the phone.

Have not tried with the computer. I'll try both in a minute.

5. I think I see the problem

The checkboxes on the Subscriptions page are just to filter that page, they don't unsubscribe you. To unsubscribe:

1) From a forum -- instead of unchecking the box, click the forum name. This will take you to the forum. Click the red "Unsubscribe" button at the top of the page.

2) From a person -- instead of unchecking the box, click the member's name. This will take you to their Profile page. Click the red "Unsubscribe" button at the top of the page.

That should do it...

6. OK, looks good.

1. I can't figure, even in a frenzy of posting how they got subscribed, but fat fingers and small phone might have done it.

2. That's a bit obscure. But now I see the explanation that I obviously ignored. Sorry about that, Chief.

I post a lot, sometimes in a hurry, late at night, or like the two latest Indivisible and Cory Doctorow, very long. (not to mention grapohics fun).

I guess I'm so used to terrible or nonexistent help that I ignore the quality help on that page!!!

Thanks for that and the speedy reply.

I'll try to use the computer more, versus the phone, but the monitor doesn't sit on my lap on the easy chair, and I'm not a laptop person.

Desktop models give you more for the money, with all the miniaturization laptops need, and oh, the real estate!!!
