Notifications on certain boards?

Is there a way select certain boards or categories, to trigger notifications when a new post has been made in those areas?

lyndswins, are you wanting on-forum notifications or email notifications?

[lyndswins]

Preferably on-forum, but if email functions also that wouldn't be bad.

lyndswins, on forum notifications are automatic by the 'new' icon indicator at the left of the board and/or thread title.

As far as email notifications, there are two options:

1) You can setup new post / new thread notifications for the whole forum by going to Profile > Edit Profile > Notifications tab. Use the dropdown selector to choose the frequency.

2) At the board level, while in the board (viewing the threads), under the Actions dropdown choose Notification Options, and then in the board's notifications setting window use the email dropdown to select the frequency email notification.

Specific board notifications can be managed in the Edit Profile > Notifications tab of your profile.

Ah ok cool! That does what I need it to do. Is there a way to activate the "Forum" tickbox for New Threads & New Posts? They won't toggle on and seem to be permanently off.

Also, if I turn on those notifications for a board, will it also trigger the notification if a post / thread is made in a sub-board? Or would I need to go through each of the sub-boards and toggle them also?

lyndswins, the checkboxes for forum notifications are for those items where the notification appears as a numbered bubble on the navigation menu.

The checkboxes for new posts / new threads are grayed out because the notifications for new posts and threads are done via the 'new' icon next to the board/thread. They are always active.
