Anyway to subscribe and have it just email you ONCE?

[sygyzy]

I am on dozen of message boards and it seems like Anandtech is the only one that does this. Is there anyway that I can subscribe to threads and have it email just once when there is/are updates? Then it won't send another one til I go check the boards again? That way I don't get 10000 emails every few hours.

Any thoughts?

You can have it PM you when someone replies to a thread... that's what I do, to avoid the excessive emails.

but dont you end up with a PM for every reply or was that changed?

You do... but I think that's better than clogging up your email box, especially since he says he uses dozens of msg boards.

Not really a solution. My 100 PM limit would be full in a few days.

1. Don't subscribe to a dozen message boards.
2. Become an AT subscriber to increase your PM limit.
3. Check your PM's at least once a day?! I'm fairly active on here and a non-subscriber and the most "trouble" I have is when I go away for the weekend while subscribed to a hot thread (like the NV35 speculation one a few weeks back). Haven't hit the 100 PM limit yet.
4. Set-up an agent in your e-mail software to automatically move e-mails from the forumnotifer AT account to a separate folder.

Nice solutions, all of which are pretty common and I have thought of. That is besides the point. You would think that for the price of this bb package, they'd be smart enough to have a feature like I mentioned earlier. All the other boards have it, just seems odd to me. "Don't subscribe to a dozen message boards?" Gotta love that type of solution. "How do I fix this leak in my house?" Answer: "Don't buy a house"
