Unsubscribe suggestion

[welo]

At the risk of suggesting more stuff before VB3 is stable :), I was just thinking it would be nice to unsubscribe from threads by clicking that subscribed icon. Clicking would take you to a screen confirming usubscription, e.g.:

Unsubscribe from {blah} thread? [Yes][Cancel]

I haven't had a chance to look into how hard this would be yet. The icon is there anyway, so theoretically it's only a matter of setting up the right queries. The subscription manager in the ACP is nice, but this could elminate a step or two when just browsing a board.

Actually there is already an option that can be enabled that switches the subscribe link to an unsubscribe link already. It is disabled by default because it can increase resources since it requires an extra query per page.

Admin Control Panel -> vBulletin Options -> Forum Display Options (showthread) -> Check Thread Subscription

You could take the HTML from that to create an easy to click link on the subscribed thread icon in your template.

That's not quite what I meant. Every thread you subscribe to has that little subscribed.gif icon displayed in the thread list. I'm talking about clicking that icon to unsubscribe; unsubscribe from the dropdown is a neat feature though. Not exactly imperative - would just be a cool little thing to have :).

Yes, but you could take that link and transfer that capability to the subscribe.gif icon... I guess the last sentence of my original post must have been confusing.

Ah. Forgive me; I'm a little slow today ;).

FWIW, it doesn't add a query, just a join.
