Mail notifications

exaltedwombat · 04-15-2013, 10:05 AM

I might want to follow a thread - immediate mail notification of new posts is great!

Or I might not want to follow it at all.

But I can't see any reason why I'd want to catch up with a thread, all at once, once a week. This seems to be the default "follow" setting. Do I have to change it every time?

Try:

User CP > Edit Options
Scroll down to find Messaging & Notification section
Change Default Thread Subscription Mode to Instant Email Notification

Hope that helps.

Then you may need to deal with older subscribed threads.
There's some help in this thread.

Thank you all. The settings are deep down, but they ARE there! That's good enough for me :-)

You could consider another option. If you happen to find yourself subscribing to threads where the post count goes up fast, you might not want to receive an email every time that there is a new post (like the "New Kobo Aura HD eInk eReader 1440x1080" thread in the News section that received almost 600 posts in 10 days).

So the option is this: look at the User CP > New Subscribed Threads

The list contains the threads that you are subscribed to that have new posts. If you click on the box with the arrow pointing down that is just before the title of the thread it will take you to the first unread post.
