email notification on new post

You need to tell them to bookmark the thread then go to
BOARDURL.proboards.com/?action=managebookmarks

and select the type of notification to be an email

I have the same question as lionelsnipes. My members are also asking how they can get e-mail notifications of new activity on my forum board.

I'm unclear about "bookmarking"? Does this work?

Perhaps this may work for us... we are a 60 unit condominium, the purpose of the Message Board is for the Condo Association Board of Directors to post Notices and the condo owners (members) to post messages (just two forums), SO if the Topic stays the same, example Notices, then each owner (member) could bookmark the topic to get emails... as long as the Topic is not changed.

Am I on the right track?

Yeah theres the same thing requested on my forum too boot. Since it is a car forum people that are on there are wanting emails sent out to threads they started and / or find of interest. This works better for Vendors of after market part companies, people selling car parts or other random craptastic, just like any other car forum. Like most people involved w/ the internet and forum based sites. no one wants to have to log into a forum to see if they have any new messages or if there is any replies made to a thread they are following. This effect reminds me of snail mail days when I use o write letters to loved ones back home. Thus, being counter production and taking advantage of technologies advancements.
