bernhard Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 just a small thing: i think it would be good to turn the option "follow this topic" ON by default. i know you can do this in your settings, but i think for new users this can be really hard to find - especially if they don't even know about it i think this kind of opt-out would make more sense and would prevent new users from missing answeres to their questions (for example if they think their question is already answered but then someone comes whith a new hint and they never read it because they never check back to this topic...) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostKobrakai Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I can see your intend, but the topic follow can easily generate a lot of emails.

I haven't read through, but since this forum is scheduled to be updated to IPBoard 4.x fairly soon, maybe there are some new options available: https://community.invisionpower.com/blogs/entry/9639-40-follow-system/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
