Followed content notification

[Riccardo]

Hello Everybody,

just to be sure, I changed the type of notification for the followed content from "email" to "notification list" then i clicked on "reset members to default preferences"
Does it mean that  ALL members that have chosen in the past the method  "a notification when new content is posted"  and "email" as notification will now receive a notification online on my forum when logged in instead of email?

Exactly.

It means that all members notification settings in their account settings section will have their default set to the sites default. It will not amend anything they are already following, but all future items would follow the new default

Does this mean that users who follow old content will still receive the email (the old setting) instead of the (new) online notification?

Is it possible to reset all the followed contents by users? 😁

Yes, that is correct. There would be no way in which to change preferences on items which are already followed

[Riccardo]

It seems to me the opposite of what you are saying, I'm doing some tests on old followed content..and now I receive a notification online, not the email...

???

[Marc]

If its set to email by digest I mean. If its set to immediate notification, then yes they will change as there isnt actually any setting for specific items. There is only a notification setting on account settings. However there is a digest setting for weekly etc. Those would not change

[Riccardo]

Yes Marc I'm just talking about immediate notifications:

Method to use for content I follow automatically

--> A notification when new content is posted

--> Notification List

If a user has already chosen "One email per day with all new content from that day"  or "One email per week with all new content from that week"  It's correct they receive email 🙂

Another question please:

Is "Follow topic" in this picture  "immediate notification" ? ( A notification when new content is posted )

This would go by their setting. I just tested this on a topic here. My notification preferences are set to 1 email and when I enable the "Follow topic" button, it goes by my preference:

Thank you!
