3.7 Email Alerts Help

[pcremedy]

I have searched and cannot find how to setup where every post that a users makes will send out an email to ALL forum users to let them know there is a new post.

Can someone help me with this?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

This is an option each member who wants to be informed need to turn on by subscribing to the forum.

[pcremedy]

I have changed this to auto subscribe. it is still not working. I don't think it auto subscribes everyone automatically.

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Where did you change this?

[pcremedy]

vbulliten options, user registration options, Automatic Thread Subscription Mode, instant email notifications.

Then I went to maintenance, execute sql query, instant email notification.

[Marco van Herwaarden]

The first will only set it as default for new regstrations, the second will set it for all current users.

A user should not get a notification when a new post is made in a thread they started or have posted in themself.

[pcremedy]

how do i set for all users to get notification of any additional post.
I only have 90 members and need them to all be notified of new posts

[pcremedy]

Can anyone please assist me?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

What more do you need assistence with?

[pcremedy]

Is there any reason why it would not be sending out emails to every everyone alerting of a new post?
I will retest and let you know what I find.

thanks,

Kevin

Did everyone post in that thread?

I think I am in a similar position to pcremedy in that one of my members has sent me the following email:

What I was really after was to have the messages drop into my (home email) Inbox without having to click through to a website. I would like to see all the messages in all the threads all the time (keen eh?). I have spent loads of time (trying to avoid taking up your time) trying to work out how to do this. Do I have to click on every thread in every Forum and subscribe to them all individually? How will I know when somebody starts a new one? If that is what it takes I will do it, but if there is a button you can click to ‘receive everything from all the forums all the time’ could you tell me where it is please, as it will save a lot of time?

The difference for my situation is that I want to be able to let individual members choose with a single click to see ALL posts that arrive in ANY thread and forum. Personally I prefer the 'subscribe' system - still, if a member is so keen that they want to see everything all the time, is there a way I can satisfy that want?

TIA

Did everyone post in that thread?
no,

Does a member have to post before this takes effect?

[Dismounted]

A user is only subscribed to the thread if they post in it, and they have subscribing automatically set in the User CP.

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Or if they subscribe to the forum.

still wondering how to provide instant email of every new post in the forum to one of my forum members. can anyone help?
