Hi,

I would like to know if its possible to set a forum up so that people can subscribe to it and receive instant email notifications. Currently the only options available are daily or weekly, which is no good for the announcements forum I have where I would like users notified immediately.

Anyone come across this before or know how it can be achieved?

many thanks

Im guessing if its being done daily or weekly, then it is a cron job. If it IS a cron job (which I suspect it is), then you can reduce the time to anything you like..

Thanks for the reply Karthick.

I would like to have all 3 options available to the client... and I am sure I have seen this hack in operation on someone elses VB, but I cant for the life of me think where now.

Anyone else come across this or know how it can be achieved?

Thanks

Instant e-mail notification is one of three options in the userCP.

I think you must be thinking of instant mail notification for subscriptions to topics... I am on about subscription to a forum.

I also would like an instant email notification when subscribing to a FORUM (as opposed to a thread). Did anyone figure out how to do it yet?

Hi Brandy,

Sorry for the delay in responding.

No, I never did get to find a way around this problem. Its a real shame as it would be a big plus for me to find a method of subscribing to forums.

Can anyone else shed any light on how to do this?

Looks like it's being addressed in the next version of vbulletin official to me - so we're waiting on that to be released before going to the 3.x series:

Thanks for that thedavid... awaiting with real anticipation.

does anyone know if a hack will allow this feature today? I need to be able to allow users to get emails with each new post to a forum. This is a must have thing for us right now!

Thanks,
Chris

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
