How Can All Members of a Board Be Notified When There Is a New Post?

This is the wrong board for this question.. Please delete.

I have a small private board of no more than 15 people. They post occasionally. When they do, how can all members be notified when there is a new post?

Hello!

I suppose you're using SMF 2.0.x, this is support board for SMF 2.1.x. Anyway, go to Admin > Forum > Member Options, under the theme you are using, choose : Change current options for all members using this theme -> Turn notification on when you post or reply to a topic, change it and save. That would do the trick.

Thanks for your reply!

that does not set boards to be on watch though, that has to be done manually.

Oops, my bad. I don't know why I thought that would notify all new posts...

Sorry about that.

Thanks to all.

To recap:

1. You can set the "Announce Topic" option for regular members of a particular board like this (SMF 2.0.12 base theme): 

Admin > Features and Options > Forum > Boards > Modify Boards > "Permissions" for a selected board > "Modify" for regular members > Moderate the Board > Announce Topic.

When you do that, when regular members add a new post, they can select > Attachments and Other Options > Announce Topic. See attached graphic: announce.jpg

2. If desired they can also select "Notify me of replies" as usual.
