Hi Claude,

As you know, I know nothing of AOL, but as far as I know nothing has changed recently with Nabble that will affect subscribing.

I have never used the facility that allows you to subscribe to an individual topic. The screen shot you show indicates that you have just subscribed to the topic "Free download W10". It is possible you have uncovered some bug in that part of the system. I will do some tests and see if I can duplicate what you describe because, as far as I know, the only way to subscribe to an individual topic is while composing a message. You need to check the box "Alert me by email when someone posts to the thread". Is it possible that you have set a default in your new browser that would leave that check box always ticked?

Some further background...
If you subscribe at the top level of a forum you will receive posts made anywhere in the forum by email.
It is also possible to subscribe to a number of individual sub-forums.
You can also subscribe to individual topics.
It is also possible to take out multiple subscriptions, for example for both a sub-forum and a topic.

As you report getting mail from a number of topics, that suggests you have subscribed to the top level forum. You need to check and report on exactly what you are subscribed to. For the entire forum and individual sub-forums, you can select "Options" and the first option on the menu will tell you.  Either it will show "Subscribe via email" if you are not subscribed or it will show "Your subscription: xxxx (edit)" (where xxxx is the name of the forum or sub-forum concerned). The "edit" link will take you to a screen where you can unsubscribe.
