Email Notifications and Subscribing to Topics
Posted: Mon Jan 02, 2023 9:46 am
There is no email notification of new posts by default. This is because forcing unsolicited email is considered spamming. If you want email notifications for new posts, subscribe to all forums (as described below) and in Notifications, check the box to receive email notification.
You may want to receive email notifications when a topic you are interested in gets a new reply. For this to happen you must be subscribed to the topic. There are two ways to do this. This first is to reply to the topic. When you post a reply to a topic you are automatically subscribed to that topic and will receive notification whenever a new reply is made to it.
The second way to subscribe to a topic is to go to the topic and click on the dropdown menu under the text. Click on the checked box to the left of Subscribe Topic. This part may be confusing because if you are not subscribed to the topic the box next to Subscribe Topic is already checked. You have to click on the checked checkbox to subscribe.
