We are testing out allowing users to "follow" message
board topics by getting email messages of all replies
to the specified threads.
When replying to a thread, users may now select to
"Follow Topic", and additionally to "Email me about
replies to this topic". Users may also make the same
request of existing threads (i.e. without posting a
reply) by selecting "Follow Topic" for the thread
(between "Mark Read" and "RSS").
Also, users may get email for "Private Messages"
that are sent to them, or turn that function off.
See:
Control Center -> Forum Settings -> Email be about new PMs
Regarding "Follow Topic", see also:
Control Center -> Show Followed Topics
Note that "Follow Topic" simply means to keep the
topic under the Control Center list. Getting email
may be more desirable.
