Subscribe to new topics, but not new replies?
Posted: Mon May 11, 2015 7:39 pm
In going through the subscription options in the user preferences, I noticed that there are two available subscription types: on forums and on topics. Subscribing to a topic alerts you to new posts in that topic. Subscribing to a forum alerts you to new posts in that forum, which means both new and existing topics (very useful for otherwise low-traffic forums).
Is there a way for a user to indicate that they're interested in new topics, but not in new replies to existing topics? Or to selectively unsubscribe from topics in a subscribed forum?
Take our Quick RPG/SAU forum as example: if one were interested in getting an alert when a new topic (game) is started, but not to be alerted each time a post within an ongoing topic (game) was made, how would one do that?
