How to see which threads I am following

Choose 'Profile Page' under your username/avatar.

There are four options to look at under there including likes. I have no idea whether this includes follows. 

Actually, 'Activity' looks a better bet. You can then filter this as Actions which might work.

Nope, just tried following this thread and nothing comes up. Ignore me!

If you choose “Personal Activity Stream” option from the menu and then “Content” you should see the topics you are following. 

Thanks for trying [@mention:1566878603953050].

Thanks [@mention:7057894837946584]. I’ll try this.

How does one get oneself excused from the thread 'What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XIV)' - it is jolly interesting to see what others are listening to at first, but in the end it boils down to 'music'. And it is majorly spamming up my inbox.

Go to the thread, scroll up to the top, in the grey box at the top unclick on Follow This Topic. If you reply to a post on the thread, after you've typed your reply scroll down below the reply box and untick the follow box.

This I can answer, in two parts.

First, uncheck the tick box at the very top of the thread.

Second, you need to go to your profile page. In the "Personal Settings" tab, scroll down to "Default Notification Preferences" and uncheck the box "Follow Content, When You Comment/Reply". This stops you automatically following any thread which you happen to post in...

[@mention:7057894837946584] - many thanks. This got me almost what I wanted. It let me see the threads I started and in fact most of them are now closed. So I think I can opportunistically unfollow and old threads which I happen to be notified about in future and selectively follow the ones I want to follow. Thanks again.

You’re welcome – glad that it worked for you.

You can also change notifications so you don't get an email with every alert. (Alerts will still show up in your profile, just not with an accompanying email.)

thanks Eoink- that's how to do it

(I should have been able to work that one out for myself...)
