Email notification when a new thread is posted

[rochen]

Basically a vB3 conversion of this hack from vB2: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=18718

I had a search through the forums and it doesn't look like this hack has been converted over to vB3 yet.

Thanks! :)

Isn't this a standard feature for vb3?? :confused:

Nope, I don't believe the thread notification function in vBulletin 3 allows for instant email notification.

Anyone? :)

Anyone? :)
I would like to see the same if anyone can do it. :)

I, too, would like to see this converted to vB3

I just set this up for my mods in 3.0.3 and it does indeed instantly notify them when a new thread/post occurs. Are you meaning something different?

As I understand it, 3.0 does NOT support install email notification of new *threads* in a forum, just new posts in a thread to which a user has manually subscribed.

Do you know differently?

you can subscribe to a forum;) and yes you can set it for instant notification:D

I don't think we're talking about notification for moderators - but rather for users who:
1) Click on a forum
2) Click on 'Forum tools'
3) Click on 'Subscribe'

Currently, we have vb 2.x hacked to allow for users to subscribe to an announcement forum so that they can get emailed instantly. If the info comes out in a day, week, month or whatever after the post has been made, it's useless information. FWIW, we're a webhost, and we post notifications of maintainence in there, etc. What good is a notification that 'server xyz is undergoing maintainence on wednesday' when that notice is recieved friday?

3.0.3 from what I see has 3 options for forum subscriptions:
No Notification
Daily Notification
Weekly Notification

There does not appear to be an 'instant' option.

hello all.
I hope all is well.

I was looking for the same instant notification mod so that any user can choose to be instantly emailed when a new post is placed inside a forum , seems that its a real shame this is not an option that admin can choose to allow or deny ..

has anyone had any luck with getting this done ?

Kind Regards

Thanks!

I agree, my company is asking for this feature, and I don't like telling them its not possible.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
