July 29, 201016 yr I don't know if it does it on purpose but every time there's a reply to a thread(that I'm subscribed to) I get an e-mail reply notification. I should only get one until the next time I visit the thread. I wonder how much resources and bandwidth are wasted by sending out all those unnecessary ERN's. I notice the site has been bogged down alot lately. Maybe fixing the ERN system will help.
August 5, 201015 yr Author So I guess everybody else here is conspiring to flood my inbox with ERN's.
August 5, 201015 yr So I guess everybody else here is conspiring to flood my inbox with ERN's. Yes, that's the plan.
August 6, 201015 yr Author Why can't you give me a straight answer? Was my original post wrong? Is ERN resource and bandwidth usage a drop in the bucket so fixing it won't help server speed? It should be fixed regardless.
August 6, 201015 yr These are the 5 options, which one do you select for the threads you subscribe to? # No Notification This option will not send out any notifications, but will retain the topic in your subscriptions panel. # Delayed Notification This option will send out a notification if a reply has been made and you're not active on the board. # Immediate Notification This option will send out a notification immediately after a reply has been made, regardless of your activity. # Daily Digest This option will send out a daily digest showing all new replies for the day # Weekly Digest This option will send out a weekly digest showing all new replies for the week
August 8, 201015 yr Author Well, it's working as intended then. No it isn't. Other forums have immediate notification that only sends you 1 ERN until the next time you visit the thread. Not an ERN for every post. I just read the eERN and it says this: If you have configured in your control panel to receive immediate topic reply notifications, you may receive an email for each reply made to this topic. Otherwise, only 1 email is sent per board visit for each subscribed topic. This is to limit the amount of mail that is sent to your inbox. So apparently you're right. But I want what the 2nd sentence says. I'll try the 2nd option in the list and see what happens.
