hi hrheingold, i'm not sure if i follow the question exactly. Are you asking about subscribing to topics in mulitple forums? And by 'subscribe', do you mean RSS or just a single page to view them all?
Try Caucus, Well-Engaged, or Web-Crossing. This is not new -- the problem was solved by these three ten years ago. I think phpbb also affords subscriptions, although I haven't played with it.
I want a list. I want to have complete control of what goes on the list. I want complete control of the ordering of the list. I want to subscribe to some fora and not others, some threads within those fora and not others. I want to see at a glance when I log in which fora and which threads have new posts. I want to either jump to the new posts in a specific forum/thread, or to simply click on a link that shows me the next new post in the next thread from the next forum on my list.
I'm sorry. I guess t his should be in Feature Requests. Is there a way to move posts from one thread to another?
Thank you. Will try the "track" feature. Suggest you unbury the Dashboard link.
HI !
I am not sure if my question is relevent to this topic, but I will ask anyway.
My problem is that I have created a forum, but I would like that mails are automatically sent out to each member when someone posts or changes something in the forum by default. He can unsuscribe topics which are of no interest to him, if he desires.
How can I achieve this ?

The original posts in this topic are really quite out of date, and the information doesn't really apply anymore.
Anyway, we don't have support for what you describe exactly, we cant really auto opt in people for that kind of bulk email for the risk of being classed as spam, but you can achieve similar things with rss.
The rss feed for the recent posts page http://meerut4us.lefora.com/forum/post/ will give you an update on every single post. Or similarly from a category page will give evey post in the category, and from a topic page every post in that topic.
You can also get emails per topic, from the 'track topic' section to the right of the topic title, and we may expan the email option to the other sections soon.
Hope this helps.
And you can convert RSS feeds into daily emails using a free google service called feedburner.com.
Hi chief
The catch is when i start a new topic, no one gets to know about it. I also use a google blog. The good part there is that the complete message goes into their email. However, to reply, he comes back to the forum, and that is excellent for us. What we want here, atleast he gets a message saying that there is a post, or a new topic, etc etc.

Can you tell me where this newsletter feature stands now? This is an issue for me, since some of my potential members only want emails to come to them, they don't want to have to open a web page.

hey Caryl, lefora works best when user's come to the website, we probably won't have features that allow members to access lefora solely out of email for sometime - so you may want to look into something like yahoo groups if that's the functionality your members want - as we focus our feature offering for members who visit the lefora website.
i'm closing this topic because it's gotten off topic from the original post.
