Maybe I do mean "Unwatch".

The bell icon shows a count of new alerts. I open this list to see what topics I am being alerted to, and I can open any that I want; but there is one particular topic I am not interested in any longer, and I wish to turn off just this one topic.

Now I believe I see; open the topic, scroll UPward, and there is a button for "Unwatch", so I will try this button.

You can also just click "mark read" in the alert dropdown without going to the thread. You won't get more alerts for that thread until you do visit it.

Fine, I guess. What I seem to have wanted was to "Unwatch" the topic. I needed some help to be reminded how. I may also be confused between "topic" and "thread".
