Sat Jul 05, 2014 12:00 am How do I subscribe to a forum?

I want to subscribe to our new 5e forum!

Every new thread, every new post... I want an email!

Normally with phpBB there's a "Subscribe Forum" button atthe bottom left corner of the page... But it seems to be MIA?!?

Can anyone help???

When in doubt, ask a Moderator or CF! Administrator by PM. Cebrion is your best bet.

Thanks, I'll try Cebrion.

The Back Alley is for discussion which is completed unrelated to the site or its content. This post is site related, and so it should go in the Canonfire! & GreyTalk Help and Feedback forum (which is where it will be moved to).

And now the answer. There is no "subscribe to forum" option currently available (I'll look into it though). In the meantime, at the bottom left of each thread page is a "Watch this topic for replies" link. Click on that, for each thread, and you will get e-mails whenever people reply to those threads. If the link has been activated, when you scroll down to it the text will instead read "Stop watching this thread". And so it is easy to see which threads you are watching and which ones you are not. Happy

Thank you for moving this thread to the appropriate forum. And my apologies, I didn't see that forum or I would have posted it there!

I used the direct phpBB URL http://www.canonfire.com/cf/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewforum&f=87&u=5847&watch=forum&start=0 which returned success. I guess we'll see if it worked soon :-)

This seems to be a pretty heavily wrapped phpBB. I can't find a list of my subscriptions, am I missing something??
