    Description

      NOTE: This bug report is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding bug report.

      NOTE: You can now un-subscribe yourself from Atlassian Answers notifications.

      Simply click the "Un-subscribe from all notifications" link that appears in the email footer of all emails that are now sent from Answers.
      Some users may find that clicking the link results in a system error message - even though this happens, the unsubscribe request should still have been processed successfully.

      ============================
      As of 9:11PM PDT (16:11 UTC) I have started receiving a flood of e-mail about confluence. Logging into the site it appears you have recently migrated confluence into Atlassian Answers. This has a broken e-mail notification system.

      1. I never signed up to watch Confluence in Topics.
      2. I have it set to not send me e-mail for new questions in Topics I do watch.

      Please stop it immediately.

      Workaround from Norman Abramovitz:
      ===============================
      Look at one of the questions and see what topics are associated with it. Unfortunately you cannot search for them since the watch link is not displayed. Manually scan the unordered list to find those topics and see if they display the unwatched link.

      Also, topics that you are watching have a small Eye icon beside it when displayed under a Question.
