How do I get an email notification when a post is made in my Forum? I'm using UBB.threads™ 7.0.2.

Where are the setting for this?

Thanks.

You can use the Watch Lists to handle this. Just add the forum(s) to your watch list and enable email notification. You'll then receive an email whenever someone posts in any of the forums you've added to your watch lists.

Rick,

I am the moderator for the Forum. Is there not someting in the admin that I can receive an email for all posts?

Thanks,

Just watch the Forums you want to recieve the emails for.

There is are additional options for an admin,
if they want to have any reported posts sent to admin also
but i think that's about it matey.

By watching the forum you will recieve e-mails of all posts
but not your own. There excluded.

As rick say's check your prefrences when it comes to email options.

FYI, ANY user can do this, it requires nothing on the admin side... Simply click the "Topic Options" or "Forum Options" dropdown and select "Add Forum to my watched list" (or "Add thread to my watched list") and select the option in your preferances that states "By default should anything added to your Watch Lists be emailed to you?".

Hi,

What is the difference between:

In 'My Preferences':
By default should anything added to your Watch Lists be emailed to you?
Yes / No

and...

In 'Edit your Watched Topics':
Email Notification None / Immediately

Thanks

The setting in your preferences will be the default for when you add any new watched items. So, if you set it to yes, it will default to emailing you.

When you edit your watched items directly you can turn them on/off individually.
