There isn't such an option, the reason being is that in most countries and stats it is illegal to automatically subscribe someone to an email list (which this would be) and website owner who automatically subscribe people to email lists can face heavy fines and even imprisonment.

Borg,
 
The "Email Notification Subscriptions" area you mentioned a few posts ago where we toggle notification on and off - can that be set as a default anywhere so that when people join the forum they will automatically be subscribed to every forum?
 
This has been requested for one of my sites that hosts a WebWiz forum.
 
From what I see it's up to the user to manually tick the forums they are interested in, but most people don't seem to set it up..
 
Many thanks

Try Newsgator, it runs in the system bar next to the clock and only pops up when you have some new data in the RSS Feed.

You can tell it how often to check on your forum, then whenever you get a new post, it will pop-up an alert for you, you can the read the post in it and choose if you want to go to the site to reply to it.

Thanks again. I tried it and it does exactly as you said...much better than IE7 for RSS.

I think I'll stick with email notifications however, simply because I have my email client open all the time anyway - I don't want two programs open and I have no choice but to  stick with Outlook.
 
But I will encourage members to use RSS instead.
 
Regards.

You may want to try something like Thunderbird as it's RSS Feed will display the posts almost the same as egging them by email, so will a number of other RSS Readers.

IE7 only gives live book mark feeds for RSS and not the full RSS Feed.

RSS puts much less strain on servers and less emails sent, so it better to encourage your users to use RSS.

RSS is much better than email notification anyway as long as you use the right RSS Reader

OK thanks Borg. Under settings I can now manage both forum and topic email notifications quite easily.
 
But, why does the RSS setting control the display of the toggle at forum level....surely they are separate features?
