Thread subscription email notifications

[Steve Emmons]

Is it possible to get email notifications when configuring a subscription to a thread? It appears that it can be configured to email you notifications, but I don't see it happening.

When in a thread you can click on Thread Tools --> Subscribe to Thread --> Then select the email notification preferences.

What happens if you select instant email notification?

[Steve Emmons]

Nothing --- no emails or notifications.
I assume that I should get an email when something happens in the thread, like a post?

[Bram Hengeveld]

did you check the email you signed up with?

we didnt enable emailactivation for new members because it winds up in the spambox all the time for some silly reason

[Steve Emmons]

Nothing there. Checked my email address in the control panel andit looks fine.

Hmm. Is "instant notification" the same as "instant messaging"? If it is, that could be the reason that "instant notification" isn't working for me --- I don't have IM configured.

If that's the case, then for email notifications "daily" is the shortest time frame? I didn't select that option thinking that instant notification meant that I would get an email immediately.
