3.7 Email Alerts Help
 

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?

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

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

Where did you change this?

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

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

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.

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

Can anyone please assist me?

What more do you need assistence with?

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:

[QUOTE]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?[/QUOTE]

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

Phil

no,

Does a member have to post before this takes effect?

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

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?
