Because the subjects went off topic I am now getting too many messages downloaded...so I figured if I could "unwatch" then the problem would be solved but I can't find a button to do this.

Thanks.

Right above your post here you will see "My Stuff" - click on that and you will see "My Watch Lists". From there you can edit your watched forums, topics, and users.

I finally found it...I didn't realize these topics and forums were shown as TABS. Thanks...
