Thanks in advance.

I am using SMF 2 RC5.0

Well, you can have it send an email on new topic out of the box, that's what the 'notify' option inside a board does but that's not automatic (it's opt-in). I know it's not quite what you asked for but in all honesty, I can't see this being added to SMF by default.

OneFire

That might work. How do I go about enabling this. Where can I find it?

Arantor

You go to the board in question and press the notify button at the bottom of the list of topics in it.

OneFire

Okkkk that works for me, how do I apply it to a usergroup?

Arantor

You don't. That's why I said it was opt-in, each person that wants it has to opt-in.

I agree with Arantor, I'm not sure adding notifications automatically for an entire membergroup (meaning bypassing user's choice) should be default behavior. Maybe asking for a mod would work best.
To-do lists are for deferral. The more things you write down the later they're done... until you have 100s of lists of things you don't do.
