E-mail notification of update to a thread
I'm on a couple of other radio/electronics Forums and they send me an e-mail when any thread is updated. Maybe that's a bit of overkill, but does this site have the option of sending an e-mail when a thread I create gets a response?
If this can't be done today, would it be considered as an upgrade to the Forum some time in the future? best regards ... Stef |

Re: E-mail notification of update to a thread
Interestingly, during a recent thread I discovered that you don't get the email notifications if the reply comes from a member that is under moderation. That confused me at first

That sounds like a bug.

Re: E-mail notification of update to a thread
I would expect the forum software to send the notification email once a moderated post has been approved by a moderator, but apparently this doesn't happen.
Please note that members may be required to have their posts moderated for a range of reasons. It's not some sort of punishment. |

Yes - that was - and still is - my understanding. But I cannot speak from personal experience of this (and, more importantly, don't wish to be able to do so ): I refer to second-hand reports from others. Al. |
