"Send me email at my primary email address about new replies on topics I have posted, replied to, or followed"
That is really unspecific!
How about setting these per posting?
Usually If I have posted a problem myself, I want a notification on any comment.
But if I am only annoyed by something, like Twitter's IM-feature turned of, I don't want an email whenever another poor guy replys with "yes, this is so bad!", but I still want to follow that posting to show Twitter that it is important.
Otir just posted a new question to the Seesmic forum, but was not sure if/how/when she would know that her question had been answered. I let her know that she'll receive a notification from GetSatisfaction, and *then* her new question was where the notification would go to.
I let her know what the default was, and that assuming she had not changed the default, she would get a notice in her email box with comments/answers to her post. So the lingering question is: What's the best way to let users how notifications work? Maybe in the popup box that comes after submitting a new topic? Tell them when/where to look?
When I post a comment to a reply, the 15 minute timer disappears when I reload the page. I goof occasionally with spelling, and I'll admit it, in my answers sometimes, so not being able to fix something minor (or major!) is a bit harder than it used to be.
Also, comments on replies don't send email notifications, which means as a Support person, it'd be easy for me to miss a reply to something if it was posted in comment form.
And I still have a question on this. I would like to automatically enable company notification to all employees. Meaning, every time someone posts to my company, I want all employees to get email notifications.
I am the admin for my company. Is there any way for me to do this, or does each user have to change his own email notification settings manually?
Also, as a company employee, what's your default setting? Is the default to get notified whenever a new topic is posted in the forum?
By replying to a topic you are automatically following it. However, if you'd like to follow a topic without replying to it click the "Follow this discussion" link for a "Talk" post, the "I have this problem too" button for a "Problem" post, the "I have this question too" button for a "Question" post, or the "I like this idea too" button on an "Idea" post.
Following a topic means you'll receive email notifications when an update is made to the topic and the topic will appear in your Dashboard.
If you want to "un-follow" a topic click the "stop following it" link.
I don't know if this is a question or an idea for a new feature. I can get notifications about replies to topics that I start, but is there a way to get notifications about a company in general?
For example, I should be able to subscribe to something like a daily summary showing "The following 10 topics have been started in Sprint:" and "The following 7 topics in Sprint have new replies:" with the subject lines of the topics. Also, I should be able to subscribe to instant notifications about new topics, new replies, or both -- just like the notifications I get about topics I started -- for all topics in a given company.
This would be most useful for employees of the company, but also for the regular Joes interested in keeping up with companies they vehemently support or oppose ;-)
I'm not receiving email notifications of topics I'm following until much later.
E.g. Cameron put a reply in a recent Pownce topic 11 hours ago, and I just received the email notification of it. Additionally, a new topic was posted in Pownce 13 hours ago, which I also just received a notification for.
This is the alert after I click "Mark as useful" in the email notification. However, there is no context once I arrive here. It would be useful if you either took me to the comment I'm marking as useful for gave me links: "view comment", "stop following this topic" (basically because I marked the comment useful as it solved my problem).
I added a product called Notifications to a topic, but then realized that it wasn't really a product and that I should remove it. I clicked the link to do so, but apparently because it was the only topic that it was attached to, it gave me this error:
Either I should be able to remove the product so that it has no attached topics, or I shouldn't be given a link to remove a product if I actually can't.
I'm currently getting emailed any time a new topic is created in my community (RescueTime)... I don't want to turn this off... In fact, my co-founder wants to turn it ON.
How did I turn this on? How would I turn it off?
(note: I grok how to do it via RSS- I'm hopin' for email).
