I noticed something strange regarding the Current Board Notifications. Having the very same configuration than the admin account, "normal" users never receieve an email whereas my admin account gets emails as I would expect them. Is this known behaviour, a bug or just me doing something stupid.
Thanks for helping me here.
Hi eisenherzz and welcome. :)
The two settings:
"For topics and boards I've requested notification on, notify me"
and
"Notify me of topics and boards I've requested notification on"
are set to the same for both accounts?
admin and normal user have the same configuration regarding the notifications. Admin account gets an email when a new topic started, the other users not. Is there a global setting I oversaw?
I'm not sure this is a post by email issue or not ... if
@eisenherzz can confirm he has enabled the maillist functions or if this is just a standard "a new topic was started" message that you would get if the maillist functions are off.
Yep, on this very site, I feel notifications are not send out for this reason (at least for my account that has a moderator as primary group).
Sounds like you have confirmed it them :D
Post by e-mail (mailinglist) is activated on my board (and assumedly I am the only one using it). So by deactivating this feature as a workaround, notifications will work again? Will test it this evening.
Yep, that's my suspect.
Can confirm this is a workaround. I temporarily deactivated mailinglist feature and notifications work again for non admin users.
