I posted this some time back. It will help you.
In your “Admin Options”
Do this from the “Feature Configuration”
Set it to “Subscribe to Whole Board”; Then submit that setting. This will:
“Allows you to set the Highest Level of Subscription that can be used on the Forum. You will also need to set the individual level in each of your Categories and Forums”.
Notice the line I underlined above. You will still need to allow each category, within your forum, to allow subscriptions. You can set this to any one of 4 different options; "Category Subscriptions Allowed"; "No subscriptions Allowed"; "Forum Subscriptions Allowed"; or "Topic Subscriptions Allowed".
You do that by editing the category; by clicking on the “Pencil” icon, located to the right of each category, (Not from the “Admin Options”)
Next, check each forum you have (click the pencil icon to see the edit options of the forum). Down close to the bottom of the settings listed you will see “Subscriptions”, make sure that is set to allow subscriptions as well. If it isn’t, change it, and submit that change.
After you set this all up, you’ll see the options to subscribe to each, or all post, made on your forum (forums). Myself, I’d click the icon (located on the far right of each category’s line), and subscribe to each category I wanted to receive email notices on about any new post made. Category Subscriptions Allowed” is the highest level of each category subscription setting. This should cause an email notification to be sent to you each time any posts are made within that category; as long as you have also allowed subscriptions to be allowed within each forum.
The reason I point all this above out, is so that you can understand that one can set the whole board to “Subscriptions Allowed”; but if the lower categories, or the forums, are set to “Do not allow subscriptions”, you won’t be able to subscribe to them.
Hope this helps. |
