Forum Subscription Changes

Reference: https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=6098696

A couple weeks ago we added the ability to receive on-site/push notifications when you are subscribed to a subforum. However, if you did this then you also received the emails for that subforum subscription. Today we give you the option to choose between notification types.

You can be notified of new subforum threads via...
  • On-site/Push
  • Email
  • Private Message

It's easy to do. Check out my reference thread linked above for the general instructions and see below for what's changed.

Now, when you click on the subscription icon you will receive this popup:

You can easily update your forum subscription setting right there. Choose whether to change your settings, remove it, or do nothing.

Since we didn't want to be presumptuous when deciding which should be the default notification type for existing forum subscriptions, we have reset them all. If you want to be subscribed to a forum you should go subscribe to now. All forum subscriptions created before this thread's creation have been cleared.

Thank you and enjoy.

Not entirely sure how that related to this thread, but good for you. 😉

Nice Xerotic, I think this might solve the problems I encountered earlier :).
The LORD is my strength and shield.

Oops, I've misread the thread. Thought it was about something else.
I finally can get rid of email notifcations. On-site notifcation could work well for me.
Thank you for this useful update, Xerotic.
Thank you for this, I wondered why I received over 100 emails for every new post in The Lounge.

Enable Push. It's the best.
So basically anytime a new thread, is posted you get a notification?

Or is it for every reply, everything? A little lost on what all you get notified for.

AFAIK, you get the notification for each thread created in that section. I doubt it notifies you for every reply.
I missed that thread too. I was also looking for push notification option and there looks to be the solution.

Thanks, Xerotic.
Push notifications are bloody awesome, so thank you plenty for this mate!

Please review the reference thread listed at the start of the OP here. This thread serves as an improvement over that notification type.

Thank you for this, after your initial post I subscribed to the Lounge only to have my email overtaken so I will definitely be making use of this.
