    Default Email notification on Thread replies/new Threads

    First let me thank Patrice & all moderators & Tech staff for having to deal with all the complaints coming your way.
    Great job everyone in helping us all get over this learning hump.
    Question is, will we still get automatic e-mail notifications on posts we have answered too, e.g. Christmas Ornament Swap, if not can we & how do we do it.
    Thanks Smiles

    Default Email notification on Thread replies/new Threads

    This includes Threads you have started and Threads you have replied to.

    In order to receive Email notifications you have two choices:
    1. to receive notifications for all Threads you start or post a reply to, specify Email notifications in General Settings/Messaging and Notification/Default Thread Subscription Mode. Use the drop down menu to specify how to be notified
    2. to receive notifications on only a few choice ones, you must Subscribe to the Thread by using Thread Tools at the top/beginning of the thread and then specify what type of notification you want from the menu that pops up there.

    The problem that I've encountered is that you have two choices for email notifications - never get notified if a thread is updated or get notified every single time it is updated. It would be nice to have the option we used to have, where we got notified only the first time it was updated after our viewing. The new notification does tell you who commented on the thread (nice to know) and gives a little bit of their comment. But I think the old way was far superior. Maybe that's a possibility for later enhancement?

    Thumbs down Not getting notifications

    Why am I not getting any notifications in my email from threads that I have been following?

    Default Question

    This might have been posted already - but - do we still get email notifications when there is a new post? I don't think I've been getting them.

    Yes we used to get them automatically unless we clicked 'do not watch' but now we have to subscribe. It will take me some time to remember it.
