h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Does anyone know if there is an easy way to unsubscribe from lots of (automatically subscribed) posts at the same time? I have a HUGE backlog and would like to get rid of it but if I can only remove one at a time I'll never have the time to post anything!

Traveller in Time on his head
"Open a long small window with the MP listing in brunel < <./>MP236822?skin=brunel</.> >.

Place it on the edge of your screen, click the little x left to the title for some twenty threads at the time.
Close the unsubscribe confirmation windows and refresh the MP list.

And main important of all < <./>FSB19585?cmd=unsubscribeforum</.> > to stop beeing informed of aks h2g2, as you leave for another extended period "

works a treat. many thanks

it was working but now i find that every time i click it goes to an "you are now unsubscribed" screen so i am back to unlisting one at a time. what am i doing wrong?

Ttraveller in Time forgot part of the instruction
" Should have been:
Right click on the little x (open in new window)
"

Thanks but I still find it quicker to click on the little x rather than opening the new window. its just that sometimes I can zip down and get them all before the window shuts and other times i only get one at a time. It does helps a lot to do it this way but is still going to take a long time to clear the backlog of a year or so. I will def remember to unsubscribe next time I'm away for any time.
