Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt November 11, 2024
Chatgroup Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 In 2.3, an email would be sent for followed topics when there was a reply, but any subsequent replies would be ignored. In 3.2, an email is sent for every reply. This is sending out loads and loads of emails for popular topics. Is there any way to restore the old functionality?
connorhawke Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Does the second option on [url=" list cover it? I'm not sure because I haven't tested it yet. Anyway, the 2.3 feature you mentioned should be re-added if it has been removed. No Email Notification - This option will not send out any email notification, but will retain the topic in your subscriptions panel. Delayed Email Notification - This option will send out a notification if a reply has been made and you're not active on the board. Immediate Email Notification - This option will send out a notification immediately after a reply has been made, regardless of your activity. Daily Email Digest - This option will send out a daily digest showing all new replies for the day. Weekly Email Digest - This option will send out a weekly digest showing all new replies for the week. I personally prefer the one-notification-per-reply system to the ignore-subsequent-reply system, since the former system essentially retains extra records of posts any of which can conveniently be read via email, but I can understand why the latter system might be preferred in some cases.
c-o-m-m-a-n-d-e-r Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 I search the same! My users want just the first notification about a new post. then until they are online they don´t wanna more mails for this thread! How to get this function back?
Marcher Technologies Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 im confused... surely either "offline" or "daily" meets this desire?
c-o-m-m-a-n-d-e-r Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 No i don't think so... For every Thread the users want just one notification email until the come back to read new postings... If they read new postings and go away then first new post should be send again! I will call it "Immediate Once" :) "Offline" will send every new entry while offline, so it's like Immediate ...
Heyhoe Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Indeed none of those options appear to achieve this. So you want an email notification sending immediately when a reply to a topic is made. But no subsequent emails for that topic until you make a reply and the process starts over. Seems like a pretty reasonable request to me :) The problem with "Daily" is it will only send one email per day, which is no good if you make a reply later in the day and wish to be informed of any further replies to the topic.
c-o-m-m-a-n-d-e-r Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 yeah not 100% .... :) not till i make a new reply.... till i read the thread with the new postings! then the process starts over... This Function, it seem so, was in the Version 2.x and in other Softwares (like Woltlab Burning Board) ... Hope we can get this function back!
Heyhoe Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 My mistake, yes. When you VIEW the topic, not reply :)
Prisjakt Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 I must admit I was also fooled by the "offline" option, which I asumed would be the alternative that works like it did in the 2.x version. Seems to me that the option was simply removed. I really hope we can get this option back, we have some pissed of users right now.
Prisjakt Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 I'd also like to point out that the content of the mail is misleading: "If you have configured in your control panel to receive immediate topic reply notifications, you may receive an email for each reply made to this topic. Otherwise, only 1 email is sent per board visit for each subscribed topic. This is to limit the amount of mail that is sent to your inbox." So, this is either a bug in the mail being sent to often, or the text being wrong. Would be nice if we could get some clarification on this issue.
c-o-m-m-a-n-d-e-r Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 What is mean with otherwise then immediate?! Offline? I saw this Text too.... and just wonder
bfarber Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 This was a bug. Offline will only send one email per visit (ala earlier versions) as of 3.2.3.
c-o-m-m-a-n-d-e-r Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Here 3.2.2 ... offline sends every notification as long as i am offline! do you mean its fixed at 3.2.3 ? :) Thanks
Rhett Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Here 3.2.2 ... offline sends every notification as long as i am offline! do you mean its fixed at 3.2.3 ? :smile: Thanks Yes he means this bug was fixed in 3.2.3, which is not released yet.
Basschat Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Any idea when this bug/issue will be fixed? It seems a glaring oversight not to have basic email notification functionality and the members on my site are finding it problematic. Cheers
bfarber Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Yes he means this bug was fixed in 3.2.3, which is not released yet. It's already fixed in the latest release.
Basschat Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 OK thanks I'll give it a try. Perhaps 'offline' needs a better name as it isn't very clear?
Basschat Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Hm nope, presumably we don't have the update - is there an easy way to tell what version we're running? Sorry, I'm pretty thick.
Rhett Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Log into your admin panel, and look straight ahead at your screen! :)
Basschat Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Well. I'm up to date but still getting an email for every reply despite being set to 'offline'. Do I actually have to log out of the site or just close it? Wish it could just work like Vbulletin

Wish it could just work like Vbulletin If it's not working correctly, I recommend submitting a ticket so a technician can take a look at it for you.
