Where do I go to get tech help on this site?

This may not be the right place to do this.

My Subscription tab is permanently highlighted in yellow.

Don’t know why or what that means.

I want to turn it off. Anybody know how?

3. I believe it's notification that you have unread posts

Similarly the My Posts tab turns yellow when one of your posts gets a reply that you have yet to read.

4. You probably already know, it turns yellow to let you know you have new post from a subscription.

You click on it, read new posts, etc. It is not supposed to be yellow constantly. Check with EarlG.

5. If you're subscribed to any forums, it will turn yellow

anytime any of those forums has any new post. So it will pretty much always be yellow unless you unsubscribe from everything, or nearly everything.

Mine is always yellow. I don't even notice it anymore.

6. Since nobody has mentioned it, it's yellow as there are unread posts

I’ve since figured this out. What I can’t figure out is that I’ve had a subscription to general discussion forever. Only in the last couple of weeks has my subscription tab been lighting up. Regardless, I now know if I go in to look at these things the tab will un highlight.

Didn't realize I had subscribed to general discussion. Went in and unsubscribed. Been bugging me for months.

And I don't remember subscribing. I have unsubscibed twice but it keeps popping up. So am just going to live with it.

10. The yellow-lighted subscription tab used to bug me. Now, I am cool with it.

In the past, I tried to get the yellow light to shut off, but I was not successful. I have unsubscribed to everything, as far as I can tell. Maybe the "Latest Discussions" default subscription keeps it lighted.
