Notification settings

[sanchem]

Hi,

I wanted to know how do I enable email notifications here on eng-tips.com for all the threads under a specific topic.
Suppose I want to subscribe Chemical Plant Design and Operations.


Please help.

I think you can only do it individually. I just check eng-tips every day for any interesting topics in the forums I regularly follow.

That's the reason for the green stars that show up to the left of the forum titles in your threadminder. They indicate that there are new postings since the last time you were viewing that forum.

Oh, and email at the level you're describing is INCREDIBLY annoying. I've done that on the PTC Mathcad user forums, and I basically got my email flooded with notifications.

I agree with IRstuff and have stopped setting email notifications. There are enough places out there that automatically add you to their email lists that I don't need to be doing it myself ;-)

I too have turned off eMail notification.

At the to right there are 3 tabs.

Hit
My Stuff > My Threads
My Stuff > My Replies

and you'll see the replies to your posts.

Within each thread you can check "notify me" at the top right of the page, or the box on the left at the bottom of the thread. In the thread list for each forum you can click on the blank area at the front of thread title line, and a check mark will appear. The default setting is that you will automatically get notifications to threads that you have started.
