Forum Emails

[chysn]

The dsiforum would send an email if somebody wrote a new post on a topic on which you've commented.

When I set up this forum, I disabled emails. But does anybody miss this feature and want to get email from a forum?

I find the email option useful. I vote to enable it. You always have the option to unsubscribe to a thread.

OK, I've enabled email notification. You can subscribe to a topic by clicking "Subscribe topic" near the bottom of each topic screen.

If you want to automatically subscribe to topics that you've replied to, you can set this in your preferences. Click "User Control Panel" near the top of the screen; then, click the Board Preferences tab; select the "Edit posting defaults" option; then, set the "Notify me upon replies by default" checkbox.

The dsiforum had this enabled by default for everyone, I think. My general philosophy is that people should be able to opt into emails instead of having to opt out of them, so I'll just keep the defaults as they are.
