Is it possible to only send notifications when a new topic is made in a specific forum, but not when a reply is posted? I have a 'News-forum' on my website and I want to sent all members a notification when a new topic is made. But, when someone replys on a topic NO message has to be send, because then the number of notifications would be too large. Does someone have a suggestion wich ASP-file I should modify? And does someone has already a solution for this question? I am very interested if someone can figure a solution. |

It could be done but would require quite a bit of coding. Also if your users did not request such a notification it would be considered as spam which could get your mail servers blacklisted, so I would check with your hosts on their mass email policy. The mass email tool in the admin area could also be used to notify them on posts in your topic section, you would just need to manully fill in the form to send it though. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

The forum is a private group. It is a divingclub in Holland, so nobody will see the messages as Spam. But, it would be nice if someone can disable the notification. It would already be great if I can set for certain forums this option, and that it is not possible within these forums to get a notification per message (so only the topics). Then my members are very pleased. This function is meant to notify if we plan a new dive. The club is not interested in any message that folows this invitation... Good luck with the development of the WW-forum, it's a great and easy to setup forum! |

In the mean time I fixed my problem by searching all the ASP-files were the notifaction-messages where introduced. In the file post_message.asp I changed the paragraph The first line was: My new line is: So now a notification is only send (in forum 1) when a new topic had been made. Reply's, new polls etc will not produce a notification-message. Hopefully my small adjustment brings other people to new ideas. |

It looks like what you have should work, but it will only send emails to those subscribed to that forum rather than all members. You may have to ask your members to subscribe to notifications on that forum. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |
