My subs is highlighting yellow for unknown reason. How turn off?

6. Folks, there is NO WAY to keep the "My Subs" tab from lighting up except to unsubscribe from ALL forums and

ALL people.

This has been the subject of *many* threads here over the last 2 years, and there is no other way. It's just one of those life-sucks-and-then-you-die kind of thing.

I hate the "My Subs" lighting up too -- I quickly tap on "My Subs" to turn it off, and then the back button to get back to where I was. I wish I didn't have to do that innumerable times a day, but again it's just one of those life-sucks-and-then-you-die situations. It's a consequence of subscribing to any forums or any people.

I do subscribe to a few forums of high interest and low traffic -- and I see those in my left column in the "Subscribed Forums" section following the main forums. Their folders turn yellow when a new OP is made to the forum, and that's all the notification I want. The "My Subs" tab at the top of the page is totally redundant and unnecessary, and is like shining a 200 watt yellow light in my face that I am never in the mood for.

ETA - when one clicks on the "My Subs" tab, there is a "Filter by forum" section and "Filter by Person" section and a "CHECK ALL/NONE" checkbox and a "FILTER" button, all on the right hand side of the page. I've tried every possible combination of checkbox unchecking and button pressing, but none of what I did sticks. When I go to another page and then back to the "My Subs" page, they are all checked again.
