Whenever someone posts on a topic each (subscribed) person receives a notification for each time they've posted on that topic.
So, for example, if I've posted 3 comments on a topic, if someone then posts a comment I will receive 3 notifications.
Can someone help me reduce this number to just 1.
Or, better still, sending 1 notification which isn't repeated for each new post until the topic has been read. |

There is a mod for this over on http://www.snitzbitz.com/ - 'email_once_for_topics'. But we could never get it to work quite right, and had to uninstall it.
Since then I've just been encouraging people to use 'Active Topics' instead of email notifications. Lots better on busy boards anyway.

I'm under the impression that the forum checks for previous topic subscriptions before allowing new ones. Did you change any code in post.asp?
What subscription level do you have? Board, forum, topic? |

subscribe to posts to which they have already subscribed.
Is that what is being discussed here ?
I haven't seen this behaviour either :

My users do want this :

But again, only a handful so not a top priority.

The only code changes to POST.ASP were including the POLL mod.
In ADMIN I've set subscriptions to "sub by topic"; the forums themselves have "Topic Subs Allowed" and by default a Quick Reply or Reply To Topic is checked by default.
I looked through the POST.ASP Code but couldn't find what I was looking for; is there some kind of "group by email" SQL before the list of emails to be sent to is called? |

Right, I had included this code in TOPIC.ASP
Response.Write "<input name=""Tnotify"" id=""Tnotify"" type=""checkbox"" value=""1"" checked><label for=""Tnotify"">Subscribe to topic</label><br />" & vbNewLine
And removing it seems to have done the trick.
Which leads on to the next question which is how can I include a default "Subscribe to this Topic" in the Quick Reply box? |

Rui, our board will allow a user to subscribe to the same topic multiple times, and sends a notification for each one.
I have had users email me that they are getting 2 or 3 emails, sure enough I go and check subscriptions and there are multiple there (and if I delete one, it deletes them all). This is usually the more frequent posters. They don't remember that they're already subscribed and check the box when they post.
Here is one discussion about it...
