came across your hack (good plan putting them in your sig!)

The new features for version 2.0 look brillaint but little emphasis seems so far to have been placed on linking the forum with email (probably because of the perhaps future plan for web based email).

Anyway, now that we have a control panel in the works (myVB) i hope you will go back to your original plan and encorporate subscription to threads of this sort and better options (like mass unsubscribe with checkboxes etc) into the next version. Would be very very cool!

Just installed this at SitePoint and gotten positive comments from one user so far. It has only been installed for about an hour so far.

Nice simple addition, so simple it should be in 1.1.4.

Only enhancement that I would like is that it skips over quoted replies. Going to look into seeing if that can be accomplished.

it skips quoted replies ?

I don't understand exactly what you mean by skip over quotes....Do you mean to not have the quoted part sent in the user's notify email, just the new post?

You see I have so many ideas and bounce around to different hacks that I am lucky to actually finish any single hack..

Yes, Rangersfan is correct. I would like it to ignore the quoted part of the message and just pull the snippet from the new message.

Right now if a member hits quote and replies to a message, the email states something like:
Now Rangersfan:

It was a suggestion. I know everyone has a site to run of their own and I know your busy. This is something that is not critical. I just thought I would mention it.

I would have to look for the [ quote ] tags and disallow the text in between. I could easily use a stack to do it but it is not something I have time to do right now. Have to work on that calendar hack!

Like I said, no hurry. If I get the time to look into it, I will.

I have one other problem which was reported to me last night and I am not sure how to resolve it. I think it might be a setting in the user's email program. I know it isn't a code problem because only one user has reported this problem and I get the same emails fine.

On the post reply I get:
Which is exactly how it should be. The user having the problems gets the same email as:
Now I understand this is a very weird problem and I am just looking for a little input from others and would like to know if anyone else had this problem.

it's simple......but it works great
actually probaly one of the easiest hacks to install
practically no problems

After about a month without problem, today I got this error:

" Database error in vBulletin: Invalid SQL: SELECT title from thread where threadid =
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near '' at line 1
mysql error number: 1064

Anyway my forum had no apparently problem and still works.
I've Vb 1.1.4 installed.

Can anybody explein me why this error and only once?

Thanks
