notify for all board of forums
« on: May 09, 2012, 06:44:48 PM »
i am looking for a feature that
admin or moderator can turn notify ON/OF for all board of forums for themselves

purpose of this is some of moderators monitor all board of forums and on a very big forum it is hard to go through each board and set notify ON/OFF

The problem is that it isn't nearly as efficient as actually browsing forums.

I've been on forums where I got notified for each new post - getting 75+ emails a day gets more than a touch annoying.

yes it is annoying but this is not the matter of developer
if admin/mod subscribes to all board of forums
it means
forum is getting running on a server with no email limit problem or admin have to get it fixed on there own part
admin/mod/users are willing to see 1000000000 new emails today even they go into junk or inbox.
 
they set notify for all board of forumss by mistake and now they want to get rid of it ??? they can unnotify all boards at once as they turned it on

A developer should not in good conscience develop anything that will be used to actively annoy users.

Thing is, I've moderated on huge forums (I used to actively moderate on here for a time) and never found the need to turn notify on in the first place... I'm still not convinced it's really what you need.

true
and here is why you don't found

look through my profile

see join date
then look into my Threads

so third time i will prefer to look through coding instead of wasting my time here

i send courses to students each subject have its own board
student of all subjects need to get update alert of each of each new post or reply to a open question for there note

cool question during hunger by sales man "Why you need a pizza"

You see, you didn't explain that. You just left it generically - in which case generically it's not the best way to do it!

I'm still not convinced it's the ideal for you but your mind is made up and hopefully someone will be more interested in working with you - but I can guarantee it will not be in the core.
