I'm using the current extensions, none of which affect notifications:

Note: This is after converting my forum from MyBB 1.8 to phpBB 3.1 a few months ago, although the conversion was a big success with very few flaws (Avatars needed to be re-submitted by the users - that's about it).I'm using the current extensions, none of which affect notifications: ! http://i.imgur.com/EV0y2Z8.png!

Description
With the following option checked:
...users are notified of ALL new topics AND ALL replies to ALL topics in that forum, regardless of whether or not the topic itself has been subscribed to:
In other words, it is currently impossible to only subscribe to new forum topics and nothing else.
Upon further investigation, it seems as though this has been an issue for at least 5 years: https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=2111838 and https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=2001865
Due to the longevity of this issue and its relation to forums with a lot of foot traffic (we can either get spammed by emails with all the new topics and replies, or not get any emails), I've marked this "major".
I'm also happy with having a file or database tweak that fixes this issue if anyone has one.
