Email notification

I am pretty sure this request have been done before. But I would like to have a checkbox so I am notified of reply from a topic I created or I replyed to.

If someone complain about spam, he can simply not click on the checkbox.

I think this is a standard feature on all forums I use and I would be happy to see it here.

Thank you!

While there isn't such an option at present, there is a list of all threads that you have posted or replied to available through the My Posts/My Replies links at the top of the forum.

Yep, it's nice but not as nice to receive an email.

I am pretty sure you guys won't add this option.. but I thought that if I add a post about it perhaps it would help.. lol

I am so used to this option and find it really useful. I don't remind any forum I used (and I use a lot) not having this... but this one.

I will be adding a subscription or "watched posts" system later on.  This will provide an option for email notifications.

If I may suggest something I prefer, when I receive the email, to have the content of the last reply written in the email, including a link to open the topic in my browser.

Ditto, ponies taste better with ice cream.

Is there another kind?

Yeah, those antique land kinds.. don't know where you'd get one these days, though.

The last reply that you haven't read.

Most ofthe times this kind of email say:

=========

You can read the last reply by clicking on this link: http://.....

Here is the last reply you haven't read: "......"

There may be other replies, but you will need to read the topic before we send you another notification.

To unsubscribe to this topic 'click here'

You can install a PHPbb forum to see how it works. It's free. However this one doesn't include the content of the last reply...

If it can send a free Ice Cream coupon it would be nice. With a cherry.

Thanks!

(Note: if you can add hot chocolat also please)

Unfortunately, adding such a feature looks to be quite a lot of work.  I took a look at the code and database, and the complexities behind it are just astronomical.  I'd have to work with the database guy to first modify our existing tables to be able to work with the new additions.  Then I'll have to create a few new tables to hold the data.  Next I'll have to create an admin tool to manage the data, disregarding the security and performance issues that may arise by it.  And that's without the hundreds (if not thousands) of lines of coding I'd have to do.  Sorry, but it just isn't feasible to add a free ice cream with hot chocolate coupon to the email.  That goes double for ice cream space ponies.

As for the "last post read" bit, I'll see what I can do :)

You had me going there...at first I thought, you've got to be kidding me, it can't be that difficult if every other forum has the feature! Then I realized the joke at the end. Good one Bara, good one. LOL
