Default How is this for a mod request! <check this out>

Most of my users are coming from MSN and YAHOO group. the functionality they miss the most is the daily digest email that is send whenever someone created a new thread or replies to an existing one.

The subscription to threads is a good feature but users have to either enable auto subsription for all threads in their profile or mannually subscribe to all threads that are created on the forum.

Is there a mod OR can someone come up with a MOD where, users are automatically mailed out latest threads or replies if users check an option in their profile...irrespective of the fact that they have subscribed to the thread or not.

I know this will be server intensive process but will be helpful for a small forum like me.

Thanks

vik

Subscribing is an option but only when the user logs on to the website and keeps subscribing to new threads.

But I am looking for a MOD where the user gets notified of all new threads and any new updates added to any thread.

if you subscribe to a forum, all new threads and or posts are gathered together for that specific forum and sent to the user on a preset cycle with vb there is forum subscription and thread subscription

Yes, I do understand you.
But you don't need a hack for this - just subscribe the forum

Okay I'm new to vBulletin, but I cannot find where a member can subscribe to a forum or all forums. All I see are the options for Threads. Any help is appreciated. My other site which uses phpbb (I like this much better!) has a digests hack that seems to work pretty well. It would be great to have that option here.
Thanks!

Enter the forum you're interested in. Don't go into a particular thread, just the forum.

Look up top for 'Forum Tools'. Pull down menu reveals an option to subdcribe to that forum. Once you click on that option, you'll see another page asking you what kind of sub you're wanting.
