Email notifications on any topics you have posted on

Post by Northern Lass »

Just to remind anyone or let newbies know how to ensure they are notified of replies to any of their posts or posts they have contributed to


EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS

A few people have mentioned not receiving email notifications to PMs, or having to repeatedly check a box when posting to receive email notifications when a follow-up is posted. Both of these options can be controlled within the individual user's board preferences.

PMs: Go to "User Control Panel" (top left of page), select the "Board Preferences" tab. In Global Settings, there's an option marked "Notify me on new private messages". Set this to yes to get notification by email when you receive a new PM.

Posts: To set email notifications for new post follow-ups by default, go to "User Control Panel" (top left of page), select the "Board Preferences" tab. Click "Edit posting defaults" in the left hand menu and you'll see an option marked "Notify me upon replies by default". If this is set to yes, the posting checkbox will be checked whenever you post a follow-up.
