At the bottom left of every thread there is a drop-down that lists "Quick-Mod Tools". At the upper right corner of every forum there is a "Moderator Control Panel". Further Moderator activities or limitations should take place in the Moderator forum...

Ok, I got a few free minutes and found a mod that accomplishes this for both Subscription Notification and PM Notification emails. I've installed the mod, please let me know how it works or if there are any issues.

Alex, I most definitely will. Thanks for implementing the mod. I definitely knew it worked very early this morning overnight after getting notifications for a lot of the spam posts.

I'll keep an eye on it and provide any feedback.

Thanks again. Richard

Well Alex, I hate to say it but I haven't received any email notifications since approximately 5 AM ET this morning (Oct. 9/08) for my subscribed posts and I noticed that several of them have been updated during the course of the day.

I am using a "yahoo" email address for notifications. Just in case that domain is being filtered, I will go into my profile and change my email address to a "real" address and see how that goes.

Yup, I get many emails a day bounced from forum members, mostly due to "SENDER QUOTA REJECTION". Basically, Yahoo, Gmail, and others limit the amount of email they will accept from my mail servers, in order to deter spam. There's nothing you or I can do about this except to use a mail provider that does not have sender quotas. To me, this is a further argument to use the RSS feature of the forums to keep up to date.

Just got the notification immediately following your post apparently. I think changing my email address helped.

Good stuff. Thank you.

I also got one of the new notification for a PM today and must say that I really do like this. BIG improvement. THANKS!

And speaking of RSS... I probably need to get into the 21st century and start using RSS feeds. Any suggestions on the best way to get started?

A thought for another improvement: Is there any way you could add a link in the "last read" display that will take one to the LAST POST? Would be very helpful... I've started using this on a couple other boards recently and have found it saves me a lot of time...

Thanks for the feedback, I'll poke around for a mod that does that...

As for RSS, I do it a couple ways. I have the RSS feed set in a gadget on my Google homepage, as a gadget in my Google toolbar at work, and using pRSS on my Windows Mobile phone. This keeps me in touch without having to visit the board constantly, for when I'm at work or away from a computer.

I've noticed a big improvement in the subscription information sent out. I don't have time to be here is often as I would like, so I really depend on interesting information sent in the thread I do subscribe too.

I would like to see a Thank You button added. I would like to be able to quickly say Thank You for a useful Post with creating a post just to say thanks.

A very good idea.

Yak, my request would be to limit the multiple quoting to 2x. Some of the threads are getting to be a PITA to read, or should I say re-read. The quoting is nice, but sometimes just good old copy and paste of a germain portion of a post is more succinct. Just my 2cents. My 5cents is limit it to 1x

The default is 3x, I agree that usually 2x at most should be sufficient. And a Thank You button... well, what next, am I going to have to write forum software that posts for you all?

OH! YES PLEASE! That's ever so nice of you!

By the way, Yak, I don't have my glasses...what does that sign under your post say?? Looks like "Mr. Goodwrench" maybe????

This is me getting kicked outta here....

While I like the idea of a "thank-you", I would hesitate to have it generate a PM given the limits on mail and our normal inclination not to clean house very often! On the other hand I also would not start a flag on the actual threads or posts either as many times they come across as "gospel - one size fits all" to the newer members. I have seen both of these approaches get out of hand other places.

I would suggest the button generate a new post quoting the FIRST LINE ONLY of a post and just contain the words "Thanks for your post -- it has helped me."

The Thank You Button does not generate anything more than a small thank you note at the bottom of any message where the thank you is given. VBulletin forums have been using it for some time and it's more handy for not generating post just to say thanks. You do have the option to have a thank you button with every post, so it can become another way of showing agreement or support for someones post in the middle of a bunch of posts and I've never seen a thank you button comment ever generate a PM to anyone.
