New guy here--I inherited our forums and am in no way shape or form a programmer. I am wanting to know if it is possible to modify what is sent to subscribers when a post/reply is made?
Currently the forum subject is sent. My subscribers are asking if the forum "message" can include the actual message, instead of just the subject. Thanks for any assistance<

Yes, it's possible; the file you need to edit is inc_subscription.asp and a wuick search will provide you with a few topics explaining the changes that need to be made.

Below is the code I used in the past. I found that it encouraged people to NOT visit the forums though as they would just read the email and only go to the forums if they chose to reply, so I have removed it.

To remove html/forumcode from the email body for subscription notifications
Include the following function in the inc_subscription.asp file.
This removes all content between braces [] [/] and <></> repectively
======================================================================================================================
Function StripCode(ByVal fString)
if fString = "" or IsNull(fString) then
fString = " empty string test"
elseif strAllowForumCode = "1" then
'filter out forumcode
fStringLeft = ""
fFound = False
Do While InStr(fString, "[")
fFound = True
fStringLeft = fStringLeft & " " & Left(fString, InStr(fString, "[")-1)
fString = MID(fString, InStr(fString, "]") + 1)
Loop
StripCode = fStringLeft & fString
If Not fFound Then StripCode = fString
elseif strAllowHTML = "1" then
' filter out html code
fStringLeft = ""
fFound = False
Do While InStr(fString, "<")
fFound = True
fStringLeft = fStringLeft & " " & Left(fString, InStr(fString, "<")-1)
fString = MID(fString, InStr(fString, ">") + 1)
Loop

end if
if strBadWordFilter = "1" then
fString = ChkBadWords(fString)
end if

End Function

There is no "attach" option, but you could save it as a .txt file and link to it. 
At the very least, use the [scrollcode] tags around your code...<
