RDN Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Currently, every email l get that is a notification of a post in a forum to which I have subscribed has the same title: "Topic Subscription Reply Notification ( From Thailand Forum )". To see which forum it is from, I have to open the email. And inside the email it says: xxxxx has just posted a reply to a topic that you have subscribed to titled "yyyyy yyyyyy yyyyyy". Clearly these emails are automatically generated by the Invision software, but I was wondering just how configurable they are. I believe it would be more useful to members if the title of the email contained the forum name, for example: Instead of: "Topic Subscription Reply Notification ( From Thailand Forum )" It could be called: "Thaivisa new post: topic "yyyyy yyyyyy yyyyy". The same format could be used for new topic notification emails: "Thaivisa new topic: forum "yyyyy yyyyyy yyyyy". The beauty of this is, when there is a really 'hot' topic that you want to look at, you can see which of the notification emails is about that topic, and you can look at the 'cold' ones later. What do you think george? Doable? Desirable? Cheers, RDN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loong Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 That would certainly help me as I am having to wade through all the mails as I am receiving multiple notifications. I had 34 email notifications yesterday for 3 topics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darknight Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Multiple notifications means multiple nicks So who are you LOONG ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loong Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Multiple notifications means multiple nicks So who are you LOONG ? Sorry Darknight I don't understand what multiple nicks are. Why do you want to know who I am? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDN Posted November 20, 2004 Author Share Posted November 20, 2004 Multiple notifications means multiple nicks So who are you LOONG ? Sorry Darknight I don't understand what multiple nicks are. Why do you want to know who I am? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "Nick" = nickname. Darknight is suggesting (as a joke) that you get multiple notifications because you have more than one account on this forum - which (as we all know) is one way to get suspended or banned! But you didn't get the joke - and it wasn't that good anyway (sorry Darknight ). But I also get "multiple" notifications sometimes. I think it may be related to whether you are online for a long time, but I haven't been able to figure it out yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loong Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Sorry I must be a bit slow didn't understand the joke at all. But I also get "multiple" notifications sometimes. I think it may be related to whether you are online for a long time, but I haven't been able to figure it out yet. I've been making sure that I physically log off when finished, but am still getting way to many notifications. George is looking into it, so maybe he can sort the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click on "My controls", and then click on "Email settings" (under 'Options' on the left). I have "Enable 'Email Notification' by default?" checked, and in the box alongside of "If ticked, choose default type:" I have "Delayed Email Notification". Is this the same as your settings?

loong Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 In the default type box I have immediate email notification. But I should only be getting 1 per board visit, the email tells me this. What happens with delayed email notification? I had 30 emails today. Is getting ridiculous!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the precise definition of these options, but it's worth a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darknight Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 But you didn't get the joke - and it wasn't that good anyway (sorry Darknight ).

What do you think george? Doable? Desirable? Cheers, RDN <{POST_SNAPBACK}> SECONDED! I logged on this morning to find over 200 messages with nothing in the subject line to tell me what was in the notification from TV. I'm sure I'm not alone with this problem, trying to wade thru countless notifications without a clue what the subject is. Please George, can you fix this by putting the title of the thread in the subject line? T.I.A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
