Unfollow Threads?

I can't seem to figure out how to unfollow or unsubscribe from a thread. When I go to what seems like that part of my account profile, it doesn't show any threads at all.

Go to the thread you have followed, below the 'Post Reply' button is 'Stop Following this Topic' - Gauss
I can see that option here in this thread, but not in any of the threads in the PAG forum section. I'm using Chrome if that makes a difference somehow.

Headfirst, do you mean a thread in the Campaign Details page or the PAG thread in the LFG forum?  - Gauss
The various threads on the PAG campaign page.

I think the only way to unsubscribe from those is to leave the campaign.  - Gauss
Ahh, awesome! Didn't know that feature was in yet. Thank you so much, Gauss!

Oh wow, I just posted something similar about not being notified from campaigns. Is there any attempt at implementing a way to not get notifications from a campaign details page?
Here's the problem I'm running into on this. By default, if we use the follow system that we use on the rest of the boards, you have to "opt-in" to follow a thread (the default is not followed). I could probably hook something up so that when a new topic is posted, all current members of a campaign follow it by default, but that would not catch folks who join the campaign later on. And I think it makes the most sense that people want to follow topics in campaigns that they are playing in. In addition, right now the default notification setting for accounts is to just receive one email per day with a summary of all the activity on Roll20. So even if there is a campaign you are in that is generating quite a bit of "chatter", you're still only receiving one email a day. Of course you can also turn the email notifications off for your account completely, if you prefer to just get notifications on-site. So...yeah. It's not that I don't want to add the "Follow" functionality, it's more that there's not a really good way to do it that fits into the current follow system. I'll think about it further and see what I can do in the next update. In the mean time, I would be interested to know the details in terms of the actual situation...as in -- you don't want to receive notifications for a campaign because _____?
In the meantime, how about changing the "leave campaign" button to say "leave campaign and unfollow threads" or something. The issue I had above was partially my fault because I didn't know the functionality to leave campaigns had been implemented yet, and even then, I would have assumed that I'd still be following all those threads after leaving the campaign. At least with a bigger button that lets me know I'll be leaving and unfollowing, I'd be aware of the combined functionality.
Well you're only following a campaign once you're a part of it. So logically if you were no longer a part of it you would also no longer be following it. Riley, the e-mail notification is not the issue. The issue is the on-site notification. (Getting 50+ pink notifications in the top right corner is reallyyy annoying. Mostly because it's hard for me to find any PM notifications or other thread notifications in the flood of a campaigns constant chatter) Howcome you can't implement the follow button for the entire campaign rather than just campaign threads? so on the campaign screen under "Join Campaign" or "Launch Campaign" you can also have "Follow campaign." Because I would like to be a part of campaigns but would not like any notifications from them. I prefer to just go on the campaign page and look at any threads that say "New" on them because I know I haven't seen new messages within that thread. But the notifications just clutter up the notification tray at the top way too much. It would be nice to have the option...
