Subscribe to a Thread?

[rob_6]

Is there a way to subscribe to a thread? I would love to be notified when certain threads are updated, but I haven't see a function on this forum. Am I just missing something or is there not function?

What about on the tapatalk app?

I can,t see the notify button in my browser. Mac, firefox, maybe doesn,t have it? Then again, I don,t have the remove button either?

[aaphotog]

That button doesn't exist on my end. One thing that has always bothered me about this forum

Open your profile -> Modify Profile -> Notifications

[Audionut]

Could have sworn I remembered that button being there before I got promoted.  Sorry guys.

Open your profile -> Modify Profile -> Notifications

I can't figure this #$%#$ out, here are my settings and i still can't see the damn "Notify"

[Walter Schulz]

Logoff and logon.
Better now?

EDIT: Just found out the notify button is only available inside some of the boards.
Would an administrator be so kind to look after those settings?

These links at the top are a good workaround for the lack of notification functionality here.

Yeah u're right, sort of... That's what i use all the time too...
But it kind of sucks to post "whatever" in all threads u wanna follow

@Walter, can you post a thread where u see the Notify so i can check too pls

[Walter Schulz]

@Walter, can you post a thread where u see the Notify so i can check too pls

Everything listed in "Magic Lantern Releases"
Also "General Discussion" -> "Article Discussion"

[jose_ugs]

Phewww... it's there For a minute i thought SMF is playin tricks per IP basis or something like that
Now let's forward this to a forum admin...

[jose_ugs]

Mmm, can we please have this checked by an admin?

[nanomad]

Does it work now?

[jose_ugs]

Yeaaaah @nanomad! I have checked a few threads and now they all pack the "Notify". Huge thank you!!!

[chris_overseas]

I thought I read somewhere that this had been deliberately disabled because the volume (and therefore presumably cost) of mails that were generated was too high?

[nanomad]

Yes it was. We'll run a test period with notifications back on for now

[ayshih]

Notifications don't appear to be working anymore, at least for me.  I only have two threads on notify – nightly builds and 50D – and notifications seemed to be working properly up until midday April 13.  For each of these threads, there was a post in the past day that did not trigger a notification; I was surprised to see those threads pop up under my "unread posts".

[nanomad]

Yeah guys, you love to flood the mail server :|

Had to disable it once more. Suggestions are welcome... It would be nice if SMF actually batched mail sending (e.g. using batched BCC when multiple people subscribed to the same thread)

[Walter Schulz]

May I say "Told you so!"? Just missed to tell you, though.

I like to suggest to avoid this trouble and dump mail notification for good. Is there no way to improve forum post options?
- "View most recent posts" not limited to just 20. See http://www.luminous-landscape.com/forum/index.php?action=recent
- "View all Posts in last 24 hours".

Daily digest?

[nanomad]

It needs to be supported by smf out of the box.. Maybe smf is the issue here..

[Audionut]

A quick google search suggests it should be possible.
