I can't unwatch topic
True story: unwatching a topi is a serious stuff: really difficult, and not consistent over multiple devices .
The only solution, a symptomatic one, is to mark all the messages as read and then hope that they don't populate again.
I don't think this has anything to do with multiple browsers, as is suggested in that thread. I'll quote myself here:True story: unwatching a topi is a serious stuff: really difficult, and not consistent over multiple devices .

You're using the forum the wrong way 
Clicking "unwatch" doesn't change what shows up under Show new replies to your posts. For me, that's a long list of topics I've ever responded to in the past 10 years.
But you can edit your Watchlist. That's the list that changes when you click "watch" or "unwatch".

I don't understand why anyone would not use the watchlist. You can configure the watchlist to be exactly the same as "show new replies to your posts" by configuring your posts to be auto-watched and adding your posted-in topics to your watchlist. After this is done, you can unwatch topics that you don't want to see.
Follow those directions, then just stop clicking "Show new replies to your posts." and instead click "Watchlist" from now on. I know from experience changing this habit is going to take a few miss clicks.
