Subscriptions (Features)
Hi Magma,
Auge implemented it in v1.8 β. Looks like this (the link exists only in the top-level post).
Example:
Once a thread is subscribed, the icon and link changes to: Cancel thread subscription
There’s also a special section in the user’s profile:
which opens:
I clicked Subscribe thread in the top-level post #8985 (first row) and opted for ‘E-mail notification on reply of this posting’ in post #7022 (second row). To cancel a subscription I could select no ⦿. I can change the notification level of the second subscription from Posting ⦿ to Thread ⦿ in order to be not only notified about replies to my own post, but about all new replies within the entire thread. Note that for the first subscription it is not possible to decrease the level (the button is greyed out).
Be warned: I recommend this option to my users only as a last resort (i.e., if one cannot access the RSS-feed). May cause a lot of e-mail traffic in active forums and – in the worst case – result in being classified as a spammer.
I have no idea how complicated is might be to implement similar stuff in v2.x… Have to wait until Auge passes by.
