I'm still having this problem where I will randomly get subscribed to threads. I haven't figured out a pattern to it, except that I've been getting a lot of them in the past couple days.

In summary, the conversation revolved around the issue of randomly getting subscribed to threads without a clear pattern. The participants also discussed the possibility of the "Do not subscribe" option being selected in the User CP and the AdminCP possibly having a setting to auto-subscribe to certain forums. The conversation also mentioned the potential of it being a bug from vBulletin and the issue of not receiving email notifications.

Have you checked to see if the option Do not subscribe in your User CP is selected?

Maybe the option is set for certain forums to auto subscribe via AdminCP?

I haven't gotten any email notifications in a week. I checked the user options about four days ago and found that something had turned off my notifications, but it is set now.
