Title: Notify (Previously 'Subscribe to Topic') - How to
Post by: Libra on June 14, 2012, 19:45:22 PM

I select "NOTIFY" , but I do not get any notification e-mail. I had no problem getting notifications at the former forum.

Any suggestions ? - ( my e-mail address at my profile is correct ).

The notify facility (subscribe to topic as it was called in the old CBF) is working fine for me. I note you also had a problem receiving the password email libra? I'll do some thinking about this and ask the other admins - to see if we can come up with something to solve it.

I set it up on this page and can confirm I am getting the emails fine. Perhaps the emails are being moved to your spam folder?

Yes Scunner , I did not receive any password e-mail.

Nothing in the spam folder Steven.

For anyone else reading this, if you want notification by email of new posts for selected chosen topics to work you need to check your profile settings (notification area)

Just to add I did select to be notified about posts to one topic and I have not received any emails either.

I have checked my spam box and settings; apart from checking my email address which is there I was not sure what else if anything I should be looking for.

Thanks

Follow the instructions to change your profile that I gave above and it should start working

Sorry but I can not see anything that indicates it is the notification area  :(

To use Notify (the old "Subscribe to topic" ;) you need to do a quick check - click profile (above) then check your Notification settings thus:

Thanks - I didn't realise I had to click on modify profile first to bring up the options.

It's a pain as everyone's notify is switched OFF as default - more sensible would be ON so you had the option and the option to switch it off. The member profiles on here are much, much more comprehensive Nichola - not the one page jobbie of before. Hopefully with a few graphical walk throughs like the photo above it will become second nature sooner  :)

Yes, thanks Keith- I have had a wander around now and made a few adjustments   :)

Once you see the "modify profile" section there's plenty fun to be had under it  :)
