Is forum e-mail notification working?

ant · 02-28-2009, 04:08 PM

Hi!

I subscribed to https://www.feldoncentral.com/forums...ead.php?t=4385 for e-mail notification, but never got one. But my own subscribed threads in this forum work. Is anyone else having that problem?

Thank you in advance.

I have not tested this myself but what happens is Jim will typically post somewhere like the READ ME thread and then I copy his post over to the Announcement thread. Then I will reply saying "new Update" and then delete my post. I am not sure if it is the new post that triggers the outgoing e-mail or if there is another post in the thread than the last time that was checked.

So I may have to rethink how I am doing that. I may be able to find an add-on that will allow Jim to post in that thread too.

Ahh, which one is the one you're replying to? The one I linked?

Yes. I've made a change that might solve things.
