Hi ladies-
I notice that when I reply to a thread and choose "Subscribe to Thread with instant email notification" it does not work. Sometimes I will get one email with the next person's reply, but after that it stops sending me emails. When I go to my profile and check Thread Subscriptions, I am still subscribed, with email notification ... am I missing something?
Thx-
i believe the system is set up not to send a new notification until you visit the forums again.
So you are thinking that every time someone replies, I have to click to visit the forum to keep me "linked in?" Oh bother.
Unfortunately, that's the way it works. It notifies by email you about the first reply, but there might be more after that, too.
I like to come into the forum on my subscriptions page. Actually, I have my forum subscriptions bookmarked, so that's what I see very first, but then I go to thread subscriptions from there.
I've been wondering about this--is there any way to get around this quirk? I would *love* to have all follow-up posts on a thread emailed to me so that I don't have to keep checking back/logging back in to see if there are new replies (which kind of defeats the purpose of subscribing via email!
). Is this a preference of this particular host, or this particular board...just wondering it it's an option in the future.
Thanks for all you do, by the way, Phyllis!
That's just the way MyBB works. Thanks for bringing it up again, though. I should put in a request to change it for their next version.
Thanks for getting back to me, Phyllis! That's what I figured. Thanks again for your help.
