I occasionally receive email advice of posts on this site. Others never receive advice. I can't find any rhyme or reason about this.

I looked back at my personal settings and couldn't find much relating to this. I see I'm automatically subscribed to some threads. Can I subscribe to a forum?

Hi Peter
Not as far as I know, no!
You are auto-subscribed to any thread you start, and can opt-in too.
Anyhow, w're moving to Kunena soon, so I wonder if that changes?

Peter,

As I mentioned to you the other day, perhaps RSS is the better way for you to go.

www.joomladay.org.au/communityforum?func=fb_rss&no_html=1
will give you the RSS feed for all the latest posts.

You can then use Google Reader to bookmark that feed (and others), then use something like ReadAir (code.google.com/p/readair/) to manage your feeds, or as I found via a tweet a few days ago, a firefox plugin called Feedly will create a nice looking Firefox page of all your feeds: www.feedly.com/


As for Kunena, email digests are not on the drawing board so far, but you can search and vote for them as a feature at kunena.uservoice.com/pages/general?referer_type=top3

Hi Peter

Yes, Fireboard is a bit ..interesting...in this regard. You can subscribe to any thread though, and you are subscribed to a thread if you contribute to it.

I'm hoping that big brother Kunena will evolve in to a more robust forum and we can move up to that.

Fireboard does have a few drawbacks!

I've added Feedly to Firefox per suggestion of Patrick. Not only does it replace my Google reader, but by subscribing to the RSS feed of the board, it brings in all the posts on the Forum for me.

Great stuff! Thanks for the tip Patrick....
