Each time you create a new Topic, add to an existing Topic or view a Topic you will have an opportunity to receive email notification whenever there is any response since the last time you visited that Topic. Here are the ways to subscribe:
- While you are creating a new Topic one of the options below the Message body text box is "Notify me when a reply is posted". Click on the box to add a checkmark for this option and you will receive emails whenever any post(s) are added to this Topic.
- When add a reply to an existing Topic you will also have the option below the Message body text box to "Notify me when a reply is posted". Click on the box to add a checkmark for this option and you will receive emails whenever any post(s) are added to this Topic.
- Even if you are just viewing a existing Topic You will see a link just below the "newtopic" button that says "Subscribe topic". Click on this link and the link will change to "Unsubscribe topic". This indicates your subscription for this Topic is active.
- If you wish to be notified every time any new posts appear in a forum (even new topics) the you can subscribe to a whole forum. View the Forum you wish to subscribe to. You will see a link just below the "newtopic" button that says "Subscribe forum". Click on this link and the link will change to "Unsubscribe forum". This indicates your subscription for this Forum is active.
- You can see a list of active subscriptions by clicking on the "User Control Panel" link at the top right of each page and then selecting "Overview" and then "Manage Subscriptions".
That's it! Once you are subscribed you will receive an email with a link to take you directly to the new post in your subscribed Topic each time someone replies to your Topic. Once you get a notification email no further emails will be sent until you view your Topic. This saves you from getting repeated emails for a Topic which is active. Each time you view the Topic your subscription is reset and you will get another single email the first time a new post is added after you logout.
