E-mail notification of new posts (Features)

by Alfie ⌂, Vienna, Austria, Thursday, November 01, 2007, 12:29 (6031 days ago)

Hi Alex,

I just got a request from one of my users whether it would be posible to include an option in the personal profile to be notified by e-mail of all new posts - not only replies to own posts.
Reason: not everybody is familiar - or even willing - to deal with the RSS-feed.

Hi Alfie,

Do you mean the same option that moderators and admins have (to receive a notification on every posting)? Or do you mean an option, to receive a notification on every reply in a thread (this is already possible if you start a new thread)?

Exactly!

Since this was already an option in the 1.7x branch it should be kept anyway. ;-)

Hm, it wasn't really intended for that... what's wrong with the RSS Feed? Isn't every E-mail client able to read RSS Feeds by now? (What about Outlook?)

Or do you mean an option, to receive a notification on every reply in a thread (this is already possible if you start a new thread)?

Was it? AFAIK in 1.7 you only receive notifications on direct replies.

Nothing is wrong with the RSS-feed; it's a wonderful thing. The e-mail notification was just a request from my users.

Not every E-mail client... for example Seamonkey needs the NewsFox extension; no idea about the M$-stuff ;-)

Come on, you wrote this wonderful piece of software. :-P
Admin area > advanced settings > email_notification: 1
By this the admin gets an e-mail notification of every new post (Subject line: New entry in the forum: title of the post)
