Dan Joy Watcher Of The Skies Offline turn on, tune in, comment profusely Posts: 805 Falls Church VA Gender:	Re: welcome back Reply #2 - 10^th Jul, 2008 at 3:42am A technical question...is there any way I can subscribe to the whole Forum? In other words, be alerted, by Email, to activity on any thread, as opposed to the few specific threads I've subscribed to? That would save me logging in and browsing around and trying to figure out where any and all of the activity has occurred...?

Me too, but I would love to see it configureable, like choosing 10, 20, 50, or 100
I asked this before, but then it was too difficult. Maybe with the new software, it can be reconsidered

Well..I've discovered a back door way to do just that:
Use the search button at the top - next to Help. Set the number of posts you want to see - then for the search parameters - set it to match partial words
- then in the search box enter a single digit - an 'a' or 'o' - some letter that would be found in all posts - then click search!

Cool

Hm

(it is, however, a little distracting seeing every 'a' highlighted in yellow, but it works!!) Wink

The 'view the 10 most recent posts ...' is hard-coded into YaBB, so there's nothing that I can do to change it I'm afraid.

However, there are several other options available to members. As Don has already mentioned, the 'Search' facility is pretty flexible and thorough - you can even select a member (or members) that you're interested in seeing the posts of. Also, there has been an enhancement to the 'auto notification' of 'watched topics' - this is in the form of an automatic pop-up and notification when you next login to the forum. This is similar to the e-mail notification option but hopefully a lot easier to use. This has to be enabled in your profile. Simply go to 'User CP > Profile > Options' and tick the box marked 'Notification Popup on Board Index: If you have "new" board or post notifications, you will see a Popup alert when you visit the Board Index.'

There's also the 'Favourites' option - where you can bookmark any given thread that you're particularly interested in for easy viewing when you return.

Lastly, the discussion forum now has a RSS feed which features the last 25 posts made, is well constructed and groups posts in accordance to thread, topic etc. Not only can this be easily viewed at any time by simply clicking on or similar button in your browser, as it's a RSS feed, you can subscribe to it and have the post information automatically sent to you whether your not you're browsing the S.A. forum.

I hope this clarifies.

Enjoy.
