So, this is acceptable? I'll be honest, I was afraid to make the change because it's the kind of change that users freak out about. I've been sweating ever since I made it.

Thanks, this helps a bit (if a confirmation page is not doable).

I wouldn't know why anyone would possibly complain about this.

I freaked out for a second:D, but now that I know why you did it, ^.

Yes--SO much better-looking on the iPhone! MUCH harder to accidentally hit the Unsubscribe link. :)

Awesome work!

The only thing I can possibly see anyone complaining about is that on a regular (non-iPhone) browser, the spacing between the thread listings is a bit more so there's a touch more scrolling needed, but it's just a minor cosmetic change that is really not a valid complaint, especially in light of the problem it solves. :)

(Of course, the vBulletin development team needs to have their heads examined for not including a confirmation page for unsubscribing from a thread, especially when there's a confirmation page for subscribing... ;))

just moved the unsubscribe link to the right side for threads you're subscribed to and I've change the "Unsubscribe from this Forum" text to "Unsubscribe", which should be a smaller target. Is this acceptable?

FYI, we're not going to remove the button completely and creating a confirmation page isn't really do-able.

I don't remember the exact layout before but the way it is now looks like it's going to be less likely to unsubscribe by mistake. ^

I trust that you can't create a confirm page because of limits imposed by the BBS that you're using. ;)

It's still as annoying as ever...
