I'm keep getting auto-subscribed to a comment even though I have auto-subscribed turned off

I'm now sure of it. My profile has auto-subscribed turned off, but yet since yesterday four new subscriptions showed up that I didn't have yesterday. It seemed to happen overnight though. Note though I do have daily digest checked in my profile. I don't know if that is causing it or not. But having a daily digest (which actually I have not yet seen anything sent to me so I don't what it shows) shouldn't be causing an auto-subscribe.

Thanks,
Rich

So none of these are checked in your profile settings?

  • Questions I view
  • All questions matching my favorite tags
  • All questions

Correct, none of those are checked:

This is what it looks like: (I just noticed that "A new question matching my favorite tags is posted" is turned on, which I need to turn off (even though I don't have any favorite tags). But that shouldn't cause auto-subscribe)

Notify me when:
A new member joins
  • <label for="id_member_joins_0"><input id="id_member_joins_0" value="i" name="member_joins" type="radio"> Instantly</label>
  • <label for="id_member_joins_1"><input checked="checked" id="id_member_joins_1" value="n" name="member_joins" type="radio"> No notifications</label>
A new question is posted
  • <label for="id_new_question_0"><input id="id_new_question_0" value="i" name="new_question" type="radio"> Instantly</label>
  • <label for="id_new_question_1"><input checked="checked" id="id_new_question_1" value="n" name="new_question" type="radio"> No notifications</label>
A new question matching my favorite tags is posted
  • <label for="id_new_question_watched_tags_0"><input checked="checked" id="id_new_question_watched_tags_0" value="i" name="new_question_watched_tags" type="radio"> Instantly</label>
  • <label for="id_new_question_watched_tags_1"><input id="id_new_question_watched_tags_1" value="n" name="new_question_watched_tags" type="radio"> No notifications</label>
There's an update on one of my subscriptions
  • <label for="id_subscribed_questions_0"><input checked="checked" id="id_subscribed_questions_0" value="i" name="subscribed_questions" type="radio"> Instantly</label>
  • <label for="id_subscribed_questions_1"><input id="id_subscribed_questions_1" value="n" name="subscribed_questions" type="radio"> No notifications</label>


Auto subscribe me to:
<input name="questions_viewed" id="id_questions_viewed" type="checkbox"> <label for="id_questions_viewed">Questions I view</label> <input name="all_questions_watched_tags" id="id_all_questions_watched_tags" type="checkbox"> <label for="id_all_questions_watched_tags">All questions matching my favorite tags</label> <input name="all_questions" id="id_all_questions" type="checkbox"> <label for="id_all_questions">All questions</label>


On my subscriptions, notify me when:
<input checked="checked" name="notify_answers" id="id_notify_answers" type="checkbox"> <label for="id_notify_answers">An answer is posted</label> <input checked="checked" name="notify_comments_own_post" id="id_notify_comments_own_post" type="checkbox"> <label for="id_notify_comments_own_post">A comment on one of my posts is posted</label>

Daily Digest:
<input checked="checked" name="send_digest" id="id_send_digest" type="checkbox"> <label for="id_send_digest">Send me the daily digest with information about the site activity</label>


    <table class="form-as-table check-table"><tbody><tr>
        <td>
            <strong>Notify When I'm Discussed:</strong>
        </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>
            <input checked="checked" name="notify_reply_to_comments" id="id_notify_reply_to_comments" type="checkbox"> <label for="id_notify_reply_to_comments">Notify me when someone replies to one of my comments on any post using the <pre>@username</pre> notation</label></td></tr></tbody></table><br>

It seems like there is an implicit subscription option of "Subscribe on first reply to a question". Because it is still happening. I answer a question and I get subscribed. If I then unsubscribe to that question and put out another answer to it I am at least not subscribed again.

This is very annoying. Once a week I have to go through and clean out my subscriptions because it keeps subscribing on what appears to be the first update from me to a question.

@griffisp can you check to see if there are any bugs with auto-subscribe?

Did this ever get resolved?
