Questions about board
« on: December 08, 2009, 10:53:00 PM »
Hi folks, just wondering if there is an option to receive email when someone replies to a topic youv posted in, or to your thread.  Also I was going to post this in off-topic but there is no 'new topic' option available, just 'mark as read' (edit. nevermind noticed that forum is closed).

Thanks.

Go to your profile, to "notifications and email", tick the boxes you want applied.

There is some limitation on forum options available - a spam control measure - until a user has 20 posts. (Spammers don't last to 20 posts! ;))
I'm not sure if the limitations affect this setting or not..don't think so, though.
I know it affects PM's. You'll only be able to send PM's after 20 posts. 2 2 go.

That is the default forum setting I believe, for all topics that you create or contribute to, you will get an email notification to the email you used when you registered on the forums.

You have actually posted on what is the correct forums for this question as it is about the forums.

In that case you can go to your topic, and near the top of the thread, there is a notify option. (it is also there as part of the Additional Options...)

You are almost there though, so it wont really matter...
