Does anyone know if we will be getting back our new message notification any time soon? I REALLY miss it.

Kathy

It is now available for this weekend as a limited testing/trial.

Give it a try.

Note, it may disappear yet again if this doesn't work, i.e. if our server gets bombed by thousands of bouncing emails.

Hi Wa'il

Was so surprised to see notifications in my email when I logged on this evening. Thanks Wa'il, i hope it will stay as it helps me on the mentoring front.

Have a good weekend.

Yikes! I was checking for any last-minute emergency emails before I leave, and I was quite surprised to find the subscription notice. Is there a way to *not* have email notification, but still subscribe to threads? Or is that just getting way too demanding?

Until vB 3.0 arrives, there is no such option.

Are you afraid of getting too may email notification? It's just one email, and won't send anymore until after your next forum visit.

E-mail notification is nice, but I was surprised like Kristine. I had gotten used to just checking the list in my profile and was bombarded with e-mail.

Guess I'll just subscribe to important threads as opposed to all. Thanks for the good work!

Hurry up v. 3.0! I had 40 e-mail this morning, of which only 3 were junk.

I prefer the profile way of checking myself now.

I'm really happy the notification has been turned back on. I think we will notice an increase in the amount of use of the site
Thank you

I'm with Elihnig .. I preferred using the User Control panel list. So unhappily, I have unsubscribed from my favourite threads as I don't wish to be inundated with notification emails.

Nonetheless, for members who do prefer the email option, here's an idea to keep the notification emails organized and separate from your regular Inbox ...

You can create a new Inbox folder, then direct the subscribed threads notices to all go in there. That way, your regular inbox just gets your personal emails etc. These are the directions for Outlook Express, but I'm sure Netscape mailer has similar feature.

In the Folders List (left column), right click on "Local Folders", then select "New Folder". Type in whatever name you want it to have, then OK. Voilà, new folder is created.

Next, highlight any one of the forum email notices in your Inbox list. Then click on the Message menu at the top, and select Create Rule from Message ... The box will open, and the name of the sender will be automatically entered for you. All you need to do is go to #2. and put a check next to the first option, "Move it to the specified folder". In #3, click on "specified folder" which is underlined in blue ... a box will pop up, and you simply put a check beside your new folder that you just created. Click OK, then OK again.

Presto!! All the email notifications will now go directly to this special folder, so you can see at a glance how many are there, and keeps them separate from your personal emails.

It would be nice if the program could be set up so you only got an email notification to a thread that you yourself started. And not to everyone thread you comment on.

Just dont do what I did and try to mess up the email address so you dont get anymore notices in your box Then will mess up your whole low-carber forum account!

Mary, you can stop getting emails from every thread you post in. Just go to your User Control panel, by clicking on the Profile icon at the top right of every page. From there, open the Edit Options page. Scroll down to where it says "Use 'Email Notification' by default?" .. select No. Be sure to hit Submit at the bottom.

When you start a thread, you'll see right below the box where you type your message that there's an option to recieve an email whenever someone replies. This gives you more control over your thread subscriptions.

hth,

Actually I have done that several times, but they still keep coming. Always willing to try it again though!

Wa'il (tamarian) explained how to unsubscribe from email notices in your other thread (posted as ItBeMeUSee ) ... In any of the notification emails, at the bottom you'll see where you can unsubscribe from that one thread, or from all threads. Select your preferred option, and that should be the end of it
