Notifications

I have been thinking that lately since there have been a bunch of good threads on here, it would be a nice idea if we could enable some sort of notifications when a thread we have posted on gets another comment on it. I know we can subscribe to threads, but since we get like notifications it would be nice to see when we get replys to our threads.

You mean like when you hit the "new posts" button, and it shows you all the threads with recent posts?

It sounds to me like you mean when some replies to your post using the "Reply" or "Reply with Quote" buttons, then you'd get notified even if you didn't start the thread. Is that what you mean, cause that would be a cool feature. I'm not aware of anything that specific, but will see if I can find something like that. It should be different in that you wouldn't get notified of all the thread activity, just if someone replies to your post. I like it!

Have you tried subscribing to threads using a RSS reader??? RSS is the only way to go IMHO.

Huh? Configure the subscribed thread options and subscribe by default.

Exactly! I've wondered if this was possible myself.

I believe that you can configure your settings to automatically subscribe you to a thread in which you have posted. (I know there ought to be a comma in there somewhere, but I don't know where :blink: )

Yes, in your options or in "thread tools" you can subscribe to a thread and receive instant updates, daily updates, weekly updates etc. OR no, updates. There is also the receive notification of PM via email option. I was not getting emails notifying me of new PMs until I went in and reset the option to receive them. The same may apply for subscriptions.

I just started a thread on this.....I am not getting notifications via email any longer & can't figure out why.

For whatever reason you need to go in and re-set your settings, I disabled my notifications, saved etc. and then went in and reset them and now I'm getting PM and subscription notifications.
