Hi J.H.C.,
Great question, and thanks for asking
In order to receive an email notification of a change in any particular thread, you would need to "subscribe" (free) to that thread.
To do this, simply click on "Thread Tools" above, and select "Subsribe to this thread". The next window will list the various options you have for notification:
If you need further assistance on this or any other matter, feel free to post in this area or send me, or any regulator, a PM. There is no such thing as a dumb question about how this forum operates or how to use its features.

To do this, simply click on "Thread Tools" above, and select "Subsribe to this thread". The next window will list the various options you have for notification:
- None - no notification (this is used to cancel any previous selection)
- Instant - as soon as a post is made to a thread you subscribed to, an email will be sent.
- Daily - a daily "digest" of subscribed threads will be sent once a day.
- Weekly - a weekly "digest" of subscribed threads will be sent once a week.
- Do not subscribe (this is the default setting when first joining the forum)
- No email notification - this is used to quickly find subscribed threads ,for which you elected to not have any email notification, that have had recent postings. To view those, click on "Quick Links" at the top right, and then click on "Subscribed Threads". This area also shows all your "subscribed" statuses which can also be modified within that view.
- Instant (see #2 above)
- Daily (see #3 above)
- Weekly (see #4 above)
If you need further assistance on this or any other matter, feel free to post in this area or send me, or any regulator, a PM. There is no such thing as a dumb question about how this forum operates or how to use its features.

No, not at all ... I had issues with email notification that were very tedious.

Hi J.H.C.
Don't worry about it, ok? My colleague CT64 was being hilariously persnickety.
Cheers,

No I'm not - I had serious issues with being spamed by this forum and it was a nightmare getting it (eventually) sorted out. Things here are, 98% of the time, sunshine and light ...

Very well then CT64 - I'm glad you're not getting *spammed* by your favorite forum.

Sweet Corn - indeed - there were a lot of behind the scenes PMs between me and the powers that be attempting to get it all sorted (all very civil, I might add).
Ahem ... clarification for the record:
This forum does not "spam" anyone - it never has, and never will. Users who select the options of having eMail notifications for threads/posts is of their own choosing. End of story
!!This forum (nor its operating software, vBulletin) does not "automatically subscribe" anyone to any thread or post. In fact, the default setting, when one joins the forum has that eMail notification feature turned off.
Just wanted to set that record straight ... :crazy: ... We do not need endless rhetoric about such matters.
The curse of MIMF? That's a new one on me ... :lol: ... which forum was that in ...

I have checked your settings ... again, for the record, the staff can view them but can not change them ... You have automatic eMail notification set to "off", so there are no worries. If you, yourself, have subscribed to particular threads, you will receive notifications based upon what options you have selected from my post above.
If you (or anyone else) have any other issues regarding this, please PM either Krummhorn or Rojo (MIMF Sr. Regulators) or Frederik Magle (Site Administrator).

Yes I understand notification issue, but IMO it would be a lot easier for users to be automatically notified to any post that they reply to [as happens in the majority of forums] and then select to unsubscribe if they get tired of it,
But I am new to the forum and dont wish to be critical so please excuse me.

J.H.C.,
You can do this in your personal profile settings. It is strictly the members choice, and the members choice alone, if they wish to change that default setting. If you set it up so that you get a reply to every subscribed thread, whenever anyone (including you) responds to the thread, an email will be generated.
As an alternative to this, you (or anyone else) can click on the "unread posts" link just below where it reads "Welcome (membername)". That will bring up a listing of the posts that have been made since your last visit to the forum. From that list, you can see all the threads that have been updated.

No problem ... you are not being critical at all. There is no such thing as a insignificant question for this forum community. That's why this thread was created.
