If people check the option to receive replies to their posts... they will receive it via email.
To reply to those posts.. .they MUST return to the board and post their reply.
But, because the email comes from your address (the admin/contact address in your config file)... people reply to the email instead of posting the reply to the board.
There's no easy way around that without some hacking. I usually reply and tell them that they need to return to the board to post their replies.
Some easy way around it would be to edit the /languages/english/addpost.php file.
Look for this:
$ubbt_lang['REPLY_BOD'] = "replied to your post at the site: .";
Change to something like this:
$ubbt_lang['REPLY_BOD'] = "replied to your post ***DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL - YOU MUST RETURN TO THE SITE TO POST A REPLY.*** To view the post and/or make a reply visit: ";
The system automatically inserts the username of the person who replied in front of that line...and the link to the post after that line.
That should help the problem quite a bit.... that way when they get the emails about their posts... the caps instructions will give them a hint. I think alot of people reply to that email because they think it will get posted for them automatically.
Hope that helps. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
