Alert icon in thread list for threads not subscribed to

I saw the alert icon on some threads that I don't think I subscribed (I don't really go to the SQL forums):
And when I open the threads, I see I don't have a subscription:

how many of these are there for you?
Can you go into one, subscribe and unsubscribe, does this remove the subscribed state?

I don't really know... I found this when I was viewing another user's thread list.
Subscribe and unsubscribe does not seem to have any effect.

So when you go into those threads, does it have "Alert me" checked? Does it say "Remove Alert" on the upper left of the threads?

When I checked that list again I saw several threads again in italic, but I'm positive I read all these threads and didn't miss the message in them.
So, perhaps when we see someone's else threads the list looks like you're that user.
BTW, I also see a icon on some of the threads and I am pretty sure I didn't subscribe. So, when we're looking at this list it looks from Celko's point of the view.

22/جمادى الثانية/1433 04:55 صالمجيب على الأسئلةAlso, note that most of the threads in this list are in italic - which means you read them before. Did you read Transact-SQL threads? I am positive that the list looks from the point of the view by Celko when you're looking at his threads.

No, I don't subscribe the forum so I am positive that I haven't read any of them except those showing the alert icon, which I opened to check the subscription status.
If it were from Celko's POV then all threads should be in the read status as this is his thread list.

02/رجب/1433 08:58 مDon't know if the thread list is supposed to display the user's alert subscription or the viewer's. If the alert icon is intend for the viewer, then yes this is a bug.

Just to confirm that when looking at someone's threads we indeed look from that person's point of view

My blogAh, so this is how it is built. It's not an isolated bug. This is likely "by design" and more of a feature request. I agree that it's confusing, though. I'll ask the product team.
Thanks Sheng and Naomi!

04/رجب/1433 09:18 مالمجيب على الأسئلةI think most likely it's a bug (or functionality that was not anticipated). It is probably relatively easy to fix (I am guessing). Say, I can now view your threads and know all the threads you've been participating and to which you subscribed or not.

The way to get to other person's threads - hover the mouse over the name in the thread and notice a small link at the bottom called 'That person threads'.

Awesome. Thanks! It looks like you can do it both ways. The other way is to click Browse Forum Users on the right and then click the link on the right for their # of threads.

No. It's because I always click on 'My Threads' link and I don't have unread messages there. When I start my day, I start from clicking on that link and answer to the new messages made in my threads. Then I also check what happened at night by looking at My Activity (had to click twice to go to Activities page). Then after that's done I start reading Transact-SQL forum threads from top to bottom. I don't have unread threads in this forum either (my first unread message in that forum is in June 2010). In between I also check other forums from My Forums.
I don't want to flood my gmail account.
