Re: Notification - can choose daily, weekly, etc

[kul]

(sorry, posting again - internet connection error)

I've searched and seen that this feature may have not been discussed here.

What I suggest is that: for each notification request, members can choose to receive daily, weekly notification instead of immediate notification (so that all new replies or new topic creation are summarized in just one email)

I think this is popular in Yahoo group and Invision board. I find it very useful.


I just quote below this feature's description in Invision board for your reference

Thanks a lot


"This board can notify you when a new reply is added to a topic. Many users find this useful to keep up to date on topics without the need to view the board to check for new messages.

There are three ways to subscribe to a topic:

    * Click the 'Options' menu at the top of a topic, and go to 'Track this topic'
    * On the posting screen when replying to or creating a topic, check the 'Enable email notification of replies?' checkbox.
    * From the 'Email Settings' section of your User CP (My Controls) check the 'Enable Email Notification by default?' option, this will automatically subscribe you to any topic that you make a reply to.

Please note that there are four different types of subscriptions:

Immediate Email Notification
This option will send out a notification immediately after a new topic or reply has been made regardless of your activity.

Delayed Emailed Notification
This option will send out a notification if a new topic or reply has been made and you're not active on the board.

Daily Email Digest
This option will send out a daily digest showing all new replies or topics for that day.

Weekly Email Digest
This option will send out a weekly digest showing all new replies or topics for that week."

Well, just check and see that SMF2.0 beta 1 has this feature! Great!

But can we choose daily or weekly separately for EACH notification? (eg, some notifications are daily, some are weekly)

Currently this isn't possible, but I'll mention it to the devs and see what they think.

Very cool suggestion. I hope we'll see it in the next version.

Edit: Actually, I think it's already there, but only in this official 2.0 board. Not in 1.1.4.

I would vote for this idea. Would suit different people.
