Notify on Announcements bug

[Yonkey]

I set up a board as an Announcement board, as per the instructions in this thread: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=8601.0

However, it does not e-mail notify people whose primary groups are Administrators or Global Moderators, when new topics are created. 

The bug was worse in version 4.1, where it wouldn't notify anyone who was a part of a primary group.

But it emails other people?  Just *not* administrators?!  What?

Hehe, yep.  I tried from a Test account and I never received the e-mail on the Admin account.  I think the same is true for Global Mod too, but I'll verify.

I also know the poster himself won't receive the notification, but it's odd that Admins don't. 

[Yonkey]

The Global Mods can receive notifications fine, so it seems to only be Administrator that is not getting any notifications.

What if they are an administrator by virtue of an additional group, not primary?

Haha, ok you won't believe this.  It's working now!

When I made the Test account an Administrator it worked.  Then I switched to the Test account and posted, and the original Yonkey account FINALLY got an e-mail notification.

Maybe some index in the database got updated when I added the Test as an Administrator.   Anyway, it's all working now!

Oh, that I can explain.

You don't get notifications of posts YOU make.

Yeah, I know that part.  I first tried posting as the Test account when it wasn't an Administrator and I still wasn't receiving any e-mails on the Yonkey account.  It was only after I changed Test to an Admin that I got an e-mail notification.

Oh!

There's a permission, I think it's in the interface.... that you need to have to send announcements.
