New Post/Thread Notification Emails?

[john24]

Does anybody know how I can change this so that when a new thread is created I receive the title on the email saying "New Thread Notification: " and if there is a reply to a thread then the email will be titled "New Post Notification: ".

It will make my live a lot easier and will cut down on modification. Something that should take minutes to do when checking for new threads takes hours due to me not knowing which ones are the new threads and which ones are just the reply's to previously created threads.

This is important to me as I really need this for my forum.

Thanks!

Currently, one has the word 'reply' in the subject line, and one has the words "new thread" in the subject line. What more do you need to filter them properly?

I didn't notice that. Thanks.

I will now look further into it as because that's done in the body of the message where it changes on the reply and new thread, I think I can now code the title of the email by myself to do the same.

Thanks!

Videx, I just made a new thread on my forum and then replied to it and I had the exact same email come through, nothing changed at all. Not sure what you are seeing, but what ever you get I'm not getting.

Personally I think you are getting mixed up here or my thread is a bit misleading.

I'm a moderator and I mean the emails that I get for moderating the forum.

Now if I were a normal member of the forum, I would get the emails that you say where someone has replied to a thread that I started, etc.

But I mean from the moderators point of view. When a member starts a new thread on my forum I receive an email and when members post to that thread, I get another email which has the exact same homestyle. The only difference in each email is what was written in the posts.

Now on my forum, people can't mention or link to their own websites when starting a new thread, but if someone asks for something and a member believes they are helping them out by replying to their thread with their website mentioned or a link to their website, then that's alright.

So trying to filter through each email finding out which ones are the new thread starter emails and which one are the tread replies is impossible to do and I have to actually go to the forum on each email reply where a website is mentioned in the post which is very time consuming and does use up a good bit of bandwidth also.

So, if anyone can help I would be very greateful in this.

You are correct, in your original post you didn't say anything about moderation notices. Sorry, I can't help as I've never moderated posts.

But it seems to me if you have a forum slow enough to allow manual moderation, it shouldn't be too much trouble to manually look through the notifications.

Personally, even on my relatively slow boards moderating would take way too much effort. We have rules, and if people break them they get infracted (or at least a PM). They generally don't break the rule a second time.

The problem is that you have to moderate the threads and posts to find the rules that are broken. Now seeing an email title that says "New reply to Thread" and then another saying "New thread", it would make it much easier than having to actually click on the link from each email so that you go to each post/new thread. Afterall someone that may not break a rule with a few posts may start breaking them later.

I also use an infraction system, but prefer to moderate through the emails and if one breaks a rule, then I will click the link and then infract the person which can be done straight from the threads page.
