That works for new threads, but what about for reply posts in that thread. I am also trying to port a Yahoo! group into my community, and the instant email notification of EVERY post is what is stalling the process.

I just figured out that there's a manual way of doing this, but for large boards it might be a bit of a pain...

In the Forum Manager, edit your top level categories (or whatever forums you want people to get instant notifications on). There is the option "Email Addresses to Notify When there is a New Post " and you can add them manually.

I tried that as well, but it only holds a certain number of characters. The functionality is there, we just need a way to expand it to all users as a profile option.
