Topic Subscription

[DaTT]

Anyone else get annoyed with an e-mail that is sent out everytime someone responds? Especially in the OT forum. Check my e-mail this morning to find 234 e-mails waiting for me.

I'm probably going to be banned for saying this, but other forum software handles this much more intelligently; only one email per thread is sent out, and you get no more until you return to the forums to check the threads - only then is the counter reset. This feature has been requested many times in the past, but you draw your own conclusions about why it hasn't happened yet.

I don't think you'll get banned....just severely punished. I do think it should be done though.

Well, that would be a nice option for some threads. Other threads, I actually want to see the responses. I'd love each email to include an unsubscribe link (so when you subscribe to that OT thread you think will get 2 responses and 200 start rolling in, you can opt out remotely)

Would be nice -

It used to be a pain to get 10-15 msgs regarding posting in the tax thread.
Luckly the volume has dropped of (until April)

 

[DaTT]

Yes, that would be great. The sooner the better.

Excellent! I'm looking forward to seeing the "new" feature in action.

 

[DaTT]

Any word on this so far?.....just received 235 e-mails.

 

[n0cmonkey]

That's why I:

1. Don't subscribe to topic in OT or P&N.
2. Don't have subscription stuff emailed to me.

 

[Jason Clark]

Not yet, the digest functionality isn't going to do what you require. It is designed to send out new content per category not a sumation of your subscriptions. I'll throw the idea on the list of enhancements though.

 

[DaTT]

Sounds good. How often does the list of enhancements get looked at?

Keep us posted.

 

[Jason Clark]

This is in testing now.

 

[DaTT]

Excellent.
