Email Alert

EntitY · 26. Sep 2009, 11:05 PM

I would like to be emailed by this website when my thread gets a hit or comment. I don't like the idea of having to continually come back here to check this myself. I have seen this email alert used on a couple of Q/A websites and I like it...

On the thread you want to be notified of, go to "Thread Tools" (just above the first post of the thread) and under that select "Subscribe to this thread".

On the next screen you can choose how to be notified: instantly, daily or weekly.

Thanks Keroffs! I need to take more time and look around...

I guess at other forums the subscribe feature is more out in the open as it took me a while to find it here.

I also forgot that you can set it at your user CP so you always are subscribed to a thread you start or post to, without having to do the above.

User CP>Edit Options (on left)>Messaging & Notification>Default Thread Subscription Mode. Same options as above.
