E-mail when a post is replied to?
I could have sworn I used to get an e-mail every time a thread to which I had posted got a new post. But it's definitely not happening now (been away from the board for some months), and I don't see any settings on my User Control Panel that would affect it one way or the other. Was I dreaming?

You are right it was definately there. Been gone a little while though. I don't know why.

Subscription email settings are located in User Control Panel --> Board Preferences --> Edit post notification options - you must be subscribed to a thread to receive those emails. Also check User Control Panel --> Board Preferences --> Edit Posting Defaults --> Notify me upon replies by default. Settings may have been reset during a server migration (has happened in the past) so if they look good and you still don't receive emails let us know.
Notifications discussed in that thread are independent of email subscription settings.rlown wrote:see viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12945 for the reasoning.

Re: E-mail when a post is replied to?
I have a quick question. Where is the "subscribe" button on either thread or topic? I know there was a button at the bottom in the past, but it's not there anymore. My email settings are per your instructions.
I do get PM notifications; nothing else.

Re: E-mail when a post is replied to?
During the server migration the board watch option somehow got stuck wide open and all members began getting notified of every new post to every forum. I had to turn everything off to reset it. Think the problem is fixed now, so the feature is again enabled. You can subscribe to threads or entire forums by clicking on the link near the bottom left of each page (newly registered members are somewhat restricted until they post a couple of times and full feature options are enabled).

Something's still messed up, unwanted notifications still going out. Had to disable the feature again. Sorry.

Sorry if I opened a Pandora's Box here, Eric! I'll sit tight until you say it's working again...

Re: E-mail when a post is replied to?
No sir, you didn't! Something I needed to fix but fell off my radar. I went under the database hood early this afternoon and think (again?) that I have the problem solved. I've re-activated the subscribe feature and am closely monitoring to see if anyone is still getting unwanted emails. Please let me know if you do.
