I can't imagine how. There's no choice for subs in the Control dropdown. If I choose "Edit Forum" I see nothing there about subscriptions or usergroups.

Or are you speaking in a philosophical sense? I agree it would be nice if we could do that. But in the meantime a query would make me happy.

These 2 options under Moderation Options:

Email Addresses to Notify When there is a New Post
(Separate each address with a SPACE)

Email Addresses to Notify When there is a New Thread
(Separate each address with a SPACE)

I didn't say it was ideal, but it could be worked to handle what you are wanting.

Ha. Yes, I guess I could manually find all 32 email addys and add them there. Then maintain the list as people come and go and email addys change.

Kill me now.

Thanks. Installed in 4.1.5 but still waiting for notification. Is there a way you can choose notification based on keywords in title of new thread? That would be super awesome.

Edit : Does anyone know how long does the 'instant ' notification takes? How do I make sure that my email settings are correct?

There's another mod somewhere that in a roundabout fashion allows keyword subscriptions. I forget which - something about auto-tagging as I recall.

Instant is pretty much right away - i.e., ideally you shouldn't see your Tweet/RSS much before you get the email noti. But you won't get notices of your own posts.

duh@me.... Thanks so much for telling me that I won't get notification of my own post. Wish it was written somewhere. I looked all over the settings to see if I missed something.

If you can find that other mod for that would be super!!

Many thanks for this mod has been working great for me! Is there any way we can add an option of notification of new threads only if a mod or admin started it?

Vitaly - Thank you very much for making this code available.

For some reason the bbcodes are coming through with the email text. Is there any way to stop that from happening. We are currently on 4.1.5

Hi there,

REally great mod but I was wondering if it's possible to have an option to disable the notification on usercp?

Thanks!

5 stars

I don't see why not. But don't look for this author to add that feature as he's apparently moved on.
