= New Thread Notification =
Description
Very simple, it adds instant email notification for forums. If you are subscribed to a forum using instant email notification, whenever a new thread is posted you will be sent an email containing the details and the thread text.
Options: (AdminCP > vBulletin Options > New Thread Notification)
Enable new thread notifications?
Choose Yes to enable instant email notification for new threads.
Allow new thread notification for Usergroups:
Enter the IDs of the usergroups you want to allow to subscribe to instant new thread email notifications, separated by commas. (i.e. 1,2,3)
If you only want to exclude usergroups instead of including them, leave this blank to allow everyone to subscribe to instant new thread notifications except those listed below.
Do NOT allow new thread notification for Usergroups:
Enter the IDs of the usergroups you want to exclude from subscribing to instant new thread email notifications, separated by commas. (i.e. 1,2,3) Leave blank to not exclude usergroups.
Allow new thread notification for Forums:
Enter the IDs of the forums you want to allow subscribing to instant new thread email notifications, separated by commas. (i.e. 1,2,3)
If you only want to exclude forums instead of including them, leave this blank to allow instant new thread notifications in every forum except those listed below.
Do NOT allow new thread notification for Forums:
Enter the IDs of the forums you want to exclude from subscribing to instant new thread email notifications, separated by commas. (i.e. 1,2,3) Leave blank to not exclude forums.
Use mailqueue?
Choose Yes for new thread notifications to use mailqueueing as per your settings (Recommended for all except very low traffic forums). Choosing No will bypass mailqueueing and send all emails instantly.
Installation Instructions:
1. Go to AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Manage Products > Add/Import Product.
2. Upload the new_thread_subscription_xxx.xml file.
Done!
To subscribe to new thread notifications just subscribe to a forum as normal. The new option has been added to the list.
Donations
If you have a pressing wish to donate money to me (and of course, you do) to say thank you and to possibly encourage more future work then you can do via the link below. Also, you will go to heaven.
Don't panic! The donations link is only hosted on my website so it can be encrypted and not open my email address to spammers.
Changelog v1.00 Initial release v1.01 Fixed bug where Instant Email Subscription would appear twice. v1.02 Fixed bug where a database error would occur when nobody is subscribed to the forum the thread is being posted in.

- Removed my existing notifications.
- Enabled Instant for forums
- Posted new thread as different user
- No notification has come and it's been over 5 minutes.
This mod was working great for a while. Today, however, I noticed that Forums no longer are offering the "Instant notification by email" option when Subscribing. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the NTN mod. Nothing changes.
How can I verify the plug-in code is actually loading into the base code?
It's beyond me why they don't just incorporate virtually every mod that has more than 10 installs. Clearly people need them. And in most cases all the work has already been done for them.
Anyway, if payment is required to bring this up to vb4, I'm in. It looks like the original author hasn't been around in ages so if you want to offer $20 or so over in paid requests I'll cover half (in other words, I'm good for $10 USD).
