Auto-subscription bug fixed

[Kyng]

Following our recent upgrade to MyBB 1.8.18, some of our users will have noticed that they're getting notifications from subscribed threads - even though they haven't set up any subscriptions. 

I did a bit of investigation of this, and it turned out to be a bug introduced in 1.8.18, where using the Quick Reply would auto-subscribe you to a thread, even if you've set the auto-subscription method in your profile to "Do not subscribe". I've temporarily reverted to the old code, which seems to fix this problem - although, I'm hoping it'll be fixed for good in the next official release. 

If you have picked up any unwanted thread subscriptions via this method, it's very easy to get rid of them. Go to your Subscribed Threads page, and click "Delete all subscriptions". Or, if you have any that you do want to keep, then just tick the ones you don't want and remove those. 

Thanks to Catlady45 for informing me of this issue - and, I hope it's resolved now !

I found subscribed to a few threads myself, which I don't even doing that in the first instance. Thanks for this

You're welcome!

I reported the issue to the MyBB staff, and they said they've put it on the list of issues to fix in 1.8.19. So, hopefully, this won't happen again .

I thought this was just a bug on my end. Confusing, for sure.

I was wondering why it had said I had subscribed to a thread I know I didn't subscribe to lol.
