I have a small community, slowly groing to a maximum of 30 members. I want email notification sent to all members when there is a new post in the forum. This is what I've done so far:

in the admin control panel in the Forums & Moderators Section, i select forum manager. I then select the edit option for each forum. Then, i type in everybody's email in 'Email Addresses to Notify When there is a New Post ' selection and save.

This works great for a few users, but the field length restricts me from in including everybody's email.

There must be a work around to this, or better yet, is there another way to keep my small community informed about new posts on the forum?

Perhaps, is there a way to email the usergroup in the 'Email Addresses to Notify When there is a New Post'?

You would need to change the newpostemail column in the forum table. Run the following query:


ALTER TABLE forum CHANGE COLUMN `newpostemail` `newpostemail` mediumtext NOT NULL;

But let your users use forum/thread subscription would be a better solution.
