The last of the unsubscription pages is the Forum unsubscribe page. In the Forums section, users have the possibility to subscribe to receiving notification e-mails about new posts in a particular forum thread. The notification e-mails contain unsubscription links leading to this page. The URL of these links contains a query string parameter that identifies the given subscription. The most important component of this page is the Forum unsubscription web part. When a user clicks the unsubscription link, they are redirected to this page and the web part handles the unsubscription request.
