auto subscription thread for forum post

[yoors69]

Hi,7

I just posted 2 posts in relation with various issues, and i disovered fast answers to them on online website : very good point, but i have not received email notification like any forum where we make a post.

Indeed, aftyer having a look at my post, there is settings to choose when posting, and i must post again something to be able to subscribe to thread. I must now drag in categories or in my profile to find back answer, thsi is really no optimal this way. I hope some others can confirm.

Default behavior should be auto subscription, and we can unsubscribe with link in email notif anytime we wish, this is how i see things running as default on any known forum, ie : WHT

Thanks

Hi,

Even old users might receive notifications with a delay. I can confirm that. To see new posts and replies I could suggest using "New posts" page https://forum.directadmin.com/search.php?do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post and even Activity Stream https://forum.directadmin.com/activity.php

I hope forums administrators will fix it soon.

I agree that changing forum to "auto subscription" would be best. Anyway, I always just use the link "Quick Links" - "Today's Posts", wich is handy to see whats new.

I'm not sure what is the default setting here, but you can change the option "Default Thread Subscription Mode" to "Instantly, using email" by the link https://forum.directadmin.com/profile.php?do=editoptions

I all ready have "Instantly, using email" set. But also as the topic starter I need to go to "thread tools" and enable "subscribe to this thread".
No "auto subscription" is an annoyance to me to.
I always use "quick reply", perhaps that is why.

I would like to vote against auto subscribtion. I don't like it, and users can easily set this themselves via their account settings with the "Default Thread Subscription Mode" setting.
There is a "auto subscription" option. Like Zeiter explained already.

and i must post again something to be able to subscribe to thread

Nope, maybe it's your browser, a popup or an addon. I don't have this issue. Even before posting but also after posting you can use the "subscribe to this thread" and choose for direct mail via the Thread tools. And that works perfectly.

The quick reply should be of no influence to your setting. If it is, then it's either a browser issue or a vBulletin bug. But I'm not aware of that, I also always use the quickreply.

It's been changed to auto-subscribe for new registrations. If you'd like to change it for your own account - Settings -> General Settings -> Default Thread Subscription Mode. Thank you!
