Subscriptions allow users to receive e-mail notifications when a new post is added to the selected forum.

 

There are several ways how a user can subscribe for receiving e-mail notifications:

 

1. The forum administrator can subscribe users to the whole forum and manage all subscriptions at Forum edit -> Subscriptions.
 

 

After clicking the New subscription link, the following dialog depicted in the screenshot below will be displayed. You only need to enter the user's e-mail address and click OK. If you do it with the Send confirmation e-mail to subscriber check-box checked, the user will receive a confirmation e-mail, telling them that they have been subscribed. These confirmation e-mails are sent automatically when the user subscribes on-site, as described in the following two points.

 

 

2. The user clicks the subscribe to forum link at the top of the forum:
 

 

3. The user subscribes to a particular post and sub-posts:
 

 

The e-mails are sent to the subscribed users based on the Forums - New post e-mail template that can be edited in the Site Manager -> Development -> E-mail templates dialog.

 

The user can unsubscribe using the link in the e-mail.
