Is there any way to set the e-mail subject of Watched Topics/Forums etc. e-mails sent out by the forums? Users are complaining the subject lines should be more descriptive. Any plans for implementing this in future versions?

1. yes (7.3 uses /languages/english/mailer.php)
2. 7.3 has topic title, forum + topic title, user + topic title -- depending upon what is being watched.. also included is the full HTML of the post..

update scripts/addpost.inc.php

to read...

$subject = "{$ubbt_lang['REPLY_SUB']} $Title : $Subject";
$mailer -> send_mail($emailformat,"",$Mailto,$subject,$msg);

don't forget to backup and files prior to altering them smile

I think it already says that, Ian smile

My problem is really the wording Watched Topic: - I'd like to change that into something more informative. Like Yomar's Forum: for example!

are you sure? I thought I had altered mine - it certainly comes through with the topic/forum name on it. Maybe I am just going mad LOL

If you wish to alter the first part then \english\addpost.php
Mine has been altered to:-

$ubbt_lang['REPLY_SUB'] = "FansFocus.Com: Watched Topic: ";
