Title: Missing forum reply notification feature Post by: fimp on April 10, 2011, 08:26:19 AM On the help page it shows a feature to get notified of new messages in a topic: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=help;page=index#topic
However, this feature is nowhere to be found in the actual forum. Why not? Title: Re: Missing forum reply notification feature Post by: ffe on April 10, 2011, 08:34:18 AM It's the "Show new replies to your posts" link up at the top of you web page. You have to post at least once in a thread for it to capture new posts in a thread.
Title: Re: Missing forum reply notification feature Post by: fimp on April 10, 2011, 08:36:03 AM So what if I want to subscribe to a topic that I haven't participated in? The feature should be there according to the help page.

Title: Re: Missing forum reply notification feature Post by: fimp on April 10, 2011, 08:48:48 AM Post a "Just for tracking" message in that thread That's lame since the feature is supposed to be implemented already. It's like the forum administrator has turned it off, and this topic can be seen as a plea to turn it back on.Title: Re: Missing forum reply notification feature Post by: ffe on April 10, 2011, 09:19:01 AM Agreed

I suspect the reason e-mails from bitcoin.org such as the validation e-mail from the wiki are getting spamblocked is because we didn't have e-mail validation turned on for the forum, so maybe spammers used the forum to set their e-mail to people they wanted to send spam to and then PM themselves so it would e-mail there. The only way to really know would be to look at the mail server logs and see if there's a large volume and what it is. I turned on e-mail validation of new accounts on the forum, but now people can't sign up because the validation e-mail gets spamblocked. Someone said gmail is one case. So here we are, nobody new can sign up to the forum. It would help if we could turn off the forum's notification e-mail features. I tried to disable what I could, but it only had settings for forum thread notifications. Can someone tell me if PM notifications are still active or any e-mail notification anywhere else on the forum. Maybe we should disable the forum's access to the e-mail server entirely, then turn off registration e-mail until we work this out further. I don't know where that setting is in the SMF interface.

I enabled the notifications now.

I'm not receiving any e-mails when I receive new PMs nor when there are new replies to topics. Title: Re: Missing forum reply notification feature Post by: ffe on April 10, 2011, 05:45:44 PM Worked for me. Got an email when you posted.
Title: Re: Missing forum reply notification feature Post by: ffe on April 10, 2011, 05:49:23 PM I did hit the "notify" button on this thread and I have a good email in my profile.
Title: Re: Missing forum reply notification feature Post by: fimp on April 10, 2011, 05:58:56 PM Ah, am receiving topic reply notifications too now. Maybe the emails were just delayed.
Still not receiving for PMs though. Title: Re: Missing forum reply notification feature Post by: sirius on April 10, 2011, 09:40:35 PM Ah, am receiving topic reply notifications too now. Maybe the emails were just delayed. Still not receiving for PMs though. Have you checked the option in settings?

Title: Re: Missing forum reply notification feature Post by: Gluskab on April 13, 2011, 11:01:55 AM Is there any way we can get a "go to first unread post" button as well? Or am I just missing it because I'm unfamiliar with the software?

Or am I just missing it because I'm unfamiliar with the software? I would definitely like that feature. I can't see it anywhere in the options. Title: Re: Missing forum reply notification feature Post by: khal on April 13, 2011, 05:29:57 PM It's available here with the 'new' button :
