Please let me know if you get it from him, I would like it as well but I am having a hard time getting it sent to me.

Hi

he never came back to me...

I'd still like a mod like this.

My goal would be to able to set user group(s) to receive e-mail notifications of every new thread posted in a specific forum (staff for instance). I would also like the default to alert them of every new post made as well. I want the options to allow the user to disable the new POST alert and the new thread alert (ONLY IF ADMIN ALLOWS CHANGES), and an admin option to select the total # of characters of a post / thread to include in the e-mail. (I don't want users getting used to only reading in e-mails.) The admin of coarse also needs the option to assign user groups to forums for alerts and decide if a user can disable post notification or thread notification (separately).

If anyone has this or is willing to make this modification for me let me know, willing to pay $250 or so for this w/few other minor options.

Possible Additional Options:
- Secondary E-Mail Notification (allow users to enter in a secondary e-mail to send alerts too, and the alert system would then send to BOTH e-mails..)
- Admin option - check box to send original thread/post with follow-up post in e-mail.

I'm with Toddw.. We need this option.

I would love this option! Asked for it years ago for the first time. And yeah, I'd be willing to pay a little too. It's crazy this thread has been going on for two years now! And still no one has it!

That is not at all what I want. :down:

[jcerious]

Yeah, not really what I'm looking for either. It's kind of close. But I definitely don't want users to be able to reply via email! That kind of defeats the purpose of having a site! If it could just put a link in the email to the new post that would be awesome.

Ideally, I would like to set things up, so that every thread & every post made in that forum, is instantly emailed to all users in that usergroup.

Can this be done?

I have been muching around for weeks now, trying to install different mods, and they all add some functionality, but still require users to subscribe to the forum, and then they only get the first email of a new thread etc.

I want to make it simpler for members of this usergroup, they signup, and they automaticlaly get all posts emailed to them.

I am happy to pay for this solution.

Thanks

Hi everyone, I'm facing the exact same problem and am searching for a possible solution. Has there been some progress or a hack made for this yet? Thanks for your reply.
