You should just need to install this and choose "Overwrite" when installing.

Just to be clear (for everyone else), if you do not have this mod installed: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=248617 and you choose "Instant Email Notification", the users won't get any notification of new threads.

Hi @Kh99 please is possible to do something more powerful like this?
The mod now send a notification only for one forum id mentioned for each email.
So adding some forums the mod will send too much mails to the users and this is not good because the user don't like this.

Better also to make the titles of the threads in bold if is possible.

Apologies if I've missed the little post within this thread that answers this question but: I would like to set up a situation where every member is auto-subscribed to the Announcements Forum; not necessarily to receive emails (not too sure that's working in any case!), but to see the subscription within their UserCp.

After hours of research how to solve this problem of combining autosubscribe and instant email notification you really made my day!!!

One last question, is there a way to notify users about replies without them having to subscribe manually to the thread?

Hi,

where did you see "update script for existing users"?

So it woulb be good if the plugin let you add more different forum on more different usergroup.

For example:

(1° instance)
New users must be automaticaly subscribed to forum x and y

(2° instance)
Moderators must be autmaticaly subscribed to all the threads in a private moderator section

(3° instance)........

ecc.

In this way would be great.

Do you think is it possible?

I know this is an old thread but just want to let you know that it's working with vbulletin 3.6.8. I mean new user automatically registered to new forum but the only problem is the user does not automatically add to all threads already exist in the forum nor new thread in that forum
