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?

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?

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

Open your profile -> Modify Profile -> Notifications

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

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

Walter Schulz · « **Reply #8 on:** January 04, 2014, 12:37:03 PM »

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?

Ciao

Show unread posts since last visit.
Show new replies to your posts.

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

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 · « **Reply #14 on:** April 10, 2014, 01:47:46 AM »

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

nanomad · « **Reply #15 on:** April 12, 2014, 10:16:58 AM »

Does it work now?

jose_ugs · « **Reply #16 on:** April 12, 2014, 10:27:32 AM »

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

chris_overseas · « **Reply #17 on:** April 12, 2014, 10:40:02 AM »

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 · « **Reply #18 on:** April 12, 2014, 12:26:15 PM »

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

ayshih · « **Reply #19 on:** April 15, 2014, 07:25:34 AM »

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 · « **Reply #20 on:** April 17, 2014, 05:34:16 PM »

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 · « **Reply #21 on:** April 17, 2014, 05:53:53 PM »

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?

Daily digest?

nanomad · « **Reply #23 on:** April 17, 2014, 08:14:27 PM »

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

Audionut · « **Reply #24 on:** April 18, 2014, 04:44:04 AM »

A quick google search suggests it should be possible.
