This is my favourite topic
Posted June 20, 2013
So, I like to tag topics I like keeping up to date on. I wanted to delete a few of the stale topics I have in my favorites, but you have to uncheck that favorite and the page refreshes automatically. Is there anyway to uncheck multiple favorite topics and then have the page refresh?

It would be nice if I could uncheck all the boxes and then hit a submit button or something.

Probably no.

Agreed. It's a clunky PITA.

Just do it one at a time... What's the big deal ? Unless you have 1000s of favorited thread ? :P

Just finished manually deleting the 20+ topics I wanted to delete. It could have been much quicker if there was this option.

As an alternative, you could open the threads you wish to unsticky in new tabs, and remove the checkbox there. Click, ctrl-tab, click, ctrl-tab and repeat until all are unchecked.

This always bothered me too but it's on the lower bottom of my wish list to change this forum.

I agree there are a lot more important forum changes needed. I just have let my favorites get a little too long, and only had about 15 new topics underneath my favorites. I deleted them the slow way, but it sure was a PITA.

Try this userscript. It's just a quick hack, but it should do the job.

You can check/uncheck multiple boxes while the page begins the refresh process and all the changes will take effect, so you can do a large amount with only a few refreshes.

I currently have so many favorite topics that I only can see 20 new topics in every page. I wonder if there is a limit to the number of topics you can mark as favorite.
BTW, Is there a script for toggling between hiding/showing the favorites?

Very nice. Thanks for the script. Works like a charm. If anyone else wants this, you need greasemonkey installed in firefox.
