[Solved] Set users who start a new topic to automatic follow

[El Patron]

seems to me that a rather large percentage of people posting don't 'Follow' this topic. It seems, again to me, that the default for a new thread should be 'Follow this topic'. For that matter if someone posts in a thread the default should be that as well.

 

Thank you for your time and Merry Christmas from Medellin.

Hi elpatron,

By default, all users are set to receive email notifications for threads where they have posted. But if anyone would like to change their personal notification preferences, they can do it easily by clicking on Edit My Profile and then selecting Notification Options.

 

Thanks, and Merry Christmas to you too!

Hi elpatron,

 

Did you try what Mike suggested to you?

Did it work?

Hi Patric, sorry for long delay in answering.

 

 

 

Yes, I did that and it seems to work fine for me. i.e. Auto follow topics I reply to. Notification frequency: Immeditate

 

What I do see howevrer in the forums are a lot of the original posts that get follow up posts, but we never hear back from the original poster. I'm sure there are lots of reasons for the lack of follow up by the original poster.

 

Cheers!

Now when I post a reply, I am having to manually follow it. I can see a trend in posters (original) are not following up on subsequent posts. I checked my profile settings and it would appear that I my id is to automatically get instant notification of replies of threads I've posted in.

Hi elpatron,

Without actually viewing the topics in question from your account, my guess is that you were previously unfollowed from some of those older topics, which is why you didn't get those notifications. You may have to go back to those and manually follow them just to get caught up.

 

Unfortunately, even though our users are set to auto-follow, that doesn't mean everyone will come back to respond, or even see the notifications.

Hi Mike, thanks for the reply and as always your patience.

 

Yesterday when I replied to a topic, it auto followed. I didn't do anything to my profile.

 

cheers,

Great, well I'm glad that's working at least a little better for you now! I'll go ahead and mark this as solved.

Our Ban would enforce that law very strictly, and make sure any legal citizen caught or selling an Automatic Assault Weapon will be faced with a punishment that follows up with the National Firearms Act.
