Notifications

There are 4 settings for how the Notifications works:

Sender name:

  • Default: The default WordPress sender name is used.
  • You can change this text to anything meaningful for your forum. This will identify the sender’s name in the email sent.
  • Note: If this textbox is empty, the default value will be used.

Sender mail:

  • Default: The default WordPress sender mail is used.
  • You can change this email address to anything meaningful for your forum. This will be the sender’s email address when an email is sent.
  • Note: If you have a lot of activity in your forum, we recommend you specify no-reply@domain.com so that you do not get flooded.
  • Note: If this textbox is empty, the default value will be used.

Receivers of administrative notifications

  • Default: The default WordPress sender mail is used.
  • A comma-separated list of mail-addresses which can receive administrative notifications (new reports, unapproved topics, and more).

Enable subscriptions

  • Default is ON
  • This setting only allows user who are logged in to subscribe to forums and/or topics. When this setting is disabled, nobody can subscribe to anything but the site owner can still get notified about new topics if the corresponding option is enabled.
