Forum Update - February 2009 - Notifications

Very briefly...

Notifications

You can now easily request notifications, sent to you by e-mail, whenever an interesting Topic is replied to, or created.


There are numerous ways to set these up to your own requirements, including :-

When you write a Reply
- to get notified whenever the conversation continues, just tick the checkbox that says "E-mail me when a reply is posted".

Watches on Topics
- to be notified of any change to an existing Topic... click the "E-mail New Replies" link on the new blue bar just below your username (above and to the right of this).

Watches on Forums
- to get a notification whenever a new topic is created, go to the Forum Page and click "E-mail New Topics" in the blue bar.


Notification Content

You can opt to have the text of the new reply or topic included in your notification e-mail.

Edit your Profile (link on the blue bar), scroll down to Preferences and set the option "Include the message contents within the notification email" to Yes.


All the notification e-mails will include links to visit the post concerned, adjust or cancel the notifications.
