that would be a great thing for the board owners.
There are a lot admins that do not like some worrds or URL's to be sent by PM's... like some URL's of competitors promoting other boards

Is it possible not to remove the email notifications for direct replies. I made the experience that user do not like to have features removed.

It would be be cool if there is an profile option to set email notification to:
-none
-direct reply to a post only
-any reply in a thread

This is then the default setting in the post window, but can be changed there.

The question is also, if in the latter case every posts should be sent to, or only one notification as long as the user does not visit the forums.

So there could be 4 options, but this is surely to complicated:
- none
- direct reply only
- any reply in thread (only once between visits)
- any reply in thread (all)

Obviously the change with email replies will be added upon. This whole thing did need to go through a fundamental change however because the old way was limited to only have replies to your post emailed to you instead of any replies in the thread. So if someone didn't reply directly to your post then you wouldn't get the reply. We've tried to make some of the features more useful and these will be improved upon as they are used and we get feedback.

Favorite forums, now you can choose to only show them on the main screen. The current way in 6.1.1 and previous they weren't truly useful.

Favorite threads, now having the option to get new posts in the thread emailed to you. In 6.1.1 and previous they weren't very helpful in that you would only see them in your "My Home" and no option for replies. Also, with the old way of getting replies to your posts there was no way to go back and turn this off if you no longer wanted replies.

One more response to this thread. Please, if you can, keep feature suggestions in the feature suggestions forum. Any suggested features here will end up getting lost as we move on to newer versions.

Rick,

I'd like to second nòóx and Maze's comments. I would have put this in "feature requests," but since I'm replying to something that's already here...

I operate a photography forum, where the main "subject" of a thread is a photograph. My members are interested in seeing comments and critiques to their photos. People who comment on the photos are interested in seeing responses to their own comments, but not responses to everyone else's comments. In other words, they like the way it's working now

I like the fact that you're adding more options, but I hope we won't lose something in the process.

Thank you,

adrienne

Definitely understandable Adrienne. While trying to add some flexibilty sometimes we need to take a step back in order to keep going forward (I know, an old cliche ). Luckily this doesn't happen to often. With this feature, it does allow others to get emails about a thread even if they didn't start it. So, that's a plus.

The reason the option to have replies to your post was removed is that it couldn't really work with the new feature. If you added that checkbox and then also added it to your favorites then on certain posts you would get duplicate emails. One for a reply to your post and one for a new post in the thread. And with no way to stop getting replies to your own post it was very limiting.

Again we'll definitely improve upon this but in order to do so we'll need to get some feedback after users have used the new method. This is something that's been asked for quite a bit and is a pretty old feature request that we wanted to put in. Eventually we'll get to the point where we should be able to have this flexible enough to fit everyone's needs.

Rick,

There was a very simply hack done over at UBBDev that emailed all replies to any post you started or replied too no matter who replied etc. This hack has worked great from the first install and on every version since. I think it would be a good starting point as the only downfall is it will email you when anyone replies to any thread you ever replied or started. You could code in a toggle for people to toggle this on or off in their profile or you could put a toggle when they post to use this or not. Seems like a very easy way to go about it considering this is a very suggested feature and you seem to be backpeddling on this one. Now I am going to have to add every thread I reply or start in my favorites. NOT. I will simply apply the hack. I would rather as a BB user know if anybody replied to a thread versus none.( which it would be if someone had to move a thread to favorites every time.
