phpBB • Free and Open Source Forum Software

Have you tried manually deleting records from the forums_watch and topics_watch tables for those users?

Actually, for (2.) there is a Date format attached to the Guest user's profile too. You can adjust that by going into Manage Users in the ACP, and checkmark "Select anonymous user" to edit the Guest profile. Select "Preferences" from the Select Form dropdown in the upper-right.

updated thread notices, I assume you mean a Topic Reply notice. The way notifications were designed to work is, If the user does not visit the topic, they do not receive any more notifications for it.

As I understand it, the idea is to index each page of a topic only once. Each individual post should not be indexed, because a post's URL leads to its topic page, and would result in duplicate content for each post on the page. The concern of this topic is that the canonical link does not contain th...
