Dunno if anyone has family or knows anyone but there was an active shooter incident at OSU this morning.

 

Hey @ChrisTurk - how do I turn off (make it default) not watching a thread? When I post something, I don't want it automatically make me "watch" the thread.

 

Under preferences, (https://turkerhub.com/account/preferences), first checkbox on that page.

Wonderful. Thanks so much!

 

Cardinals, Royals, whichever Missouri team happens to be doing good at the time.
Sadly, neither one was this year.
