A way to email notify for every post/reply of a thread

Hi all,

Is there a way to notify via email for every post/reply of a thread you are subscribed to?

Thanks!

Yes there is.

Instead of Quick Reply, use the Post Reply button at the bottom of each thread. Under “Additional Options”, you can see “Thread Subscription” and from there you can just choose how you want to be notified.

Hope this helps.

Nica,

Thankyou for your help. I looked at that, you are right that there are the Thread Subscription options. One of them is “Instant Email Notification” which I have already selected for the thread that I want the post notification from.

However, what I discovered was that once someone posts/replies you get 1 email sent and then you have to login and view the thread before another email is sent. This means that many more posts/replies could have been made but you won’t get an email for them until you login. What I would like is a seperate email sent for each and every post/reply that gets made to the thread regardless if I have viewed the thread online.

The reason for this is that sometimes I can’t be next to my computer and I can just have my email text message my phone then see when things are interesting and run home.

Another way I could accomplish this would be if RSS feeds were enabled from the forum, but they don’t appear to be.

Thanks for your help, hopefully this feature could be implemented, either the RSS feed or email for every post. Or I could also be missing something else, I tried this a few times. Let me know what you think,

Thanks a lot!

Hello Eric,

I have forwarded this issue to our Technical Support Team.

We’ll try to get these features (either the RSS Feeds or the continuous email notifications - or even both!) up and running soonest. For now, I’m afraid we’ll have to stick with having one email notification every time you log-in. Please bear with us as we work on improving overall forum experience.

Thank you for letting us know. We really appreciate it and we hope that you’ll continue to assist us in keeping the forums in tiptop shape. :slight_smile:
