The text colors of my posts or posts I read keep changing, what is this? Can it be disabled?(top)

If you would like to disable this for any reason, though we don't recommend it, head over to your preferences and ensure Text Color Converter is set to Disable

I keep receiving alerts notifying me of unread replies to threads. How do I disable this?(top)

You're receiving these alerts because you are currently watching threads. When you create or reply to a thread, it is automatically added to your watched threads list, which can be viewed here: Unread Watched Threads or All Watched Threads

If you would like to keep this behavior but you don't want to receive alerts about replies to watched threads, you can disable the feature in your Alert Preferences - uncheck the checkbox next to "Replies to a watched thread" (seen below):



If you would like to disable automatic watching of threads you create or reply to (some users may want to manually select what threads they watch instead), you can disable this behavior in your Preferences - uncheck the checkbox next to "Automatically watch threads that you create or when you reply..."
