Can I be notified by e-mail when there are new posts?
Yes, the Subscription feature allows you to subscribe to the entire Board, individual Categories, Forums and/or Topics, depending on what the administrator of this site allows. You will receive an e-mail notifying you of a post that has been made to the Category/Forum/Topic that you have subscribed to. There are four levels of subscription:
Board Wide Subscription If you can subscribe to an entire Board, you'll get a notification for any posts made within all the forums inside that board.
Category Wide Subscription You can subscribe to an entire Category, which will notify you if there was any posts made within any topic, within any forum, within that Category.
Forum Wide Subscription If you don't want to subscribe to an entire Category, you can subscribe to a single forum. This will notify you of any posts made within any topic, within that forum.
Topic Wide Subscription More conveniently, you can subscribe to just an individual topic. You will be notified of any post made within that topic.
Each level of subscription is optional. The administrator can turn On/Off each level of subscription for each Category/Forum/Topic.
To Subscribe or Unsubscribe from any level of subscription, you can use the "My Subscriptions" link, located near the top of each page to manage your subscriptions. Or you can click on the subscribe/unsubscribe icons (Subscribe UnSubscribe) for that Category/Forum/Topic you want to subscribe/unsubscribe to/from.
What does it mean if a forum has Moderation enabled?
This feature allows the Administrator or the Moderator to "Approve", "Hold" or "Delete" a users post before it is shown to the public. Hold: When a user posts a message to a moderated forum, the message is automatically put on hold until a moderator or an administrator approves the post. No one will be able to view the post while it is put on hold. NOTE: Authors of the post will be able to edit their post during this mode.
Approve: Only the administrators or the moderators will be able to approve a post made to a moderated forum. When the post is approved, it will be made visible to the public. Delete: If the administrator or moderator chooses this option, the post will be deleted and an e-mail will be sent to the poster of the message informing them that their post was not approved. The administrator/moderator will be able to give their reason for not approving the post in the e-mail.
