Hi All,

Hi Mohit,

We've just enabled the feature. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

To watch a topic, you can select the 'Subscribe topic' link at the top of a topic post. You will then receive email notifications for updates to the thread. If you are NOT getting emails, check the User Control Panel (located at the top nav) and verify the settings in the 'Board Preferences' section to make sure that you allow to be contacted by email.

If you have any issues, you can always contact us at techsupport@manhattangmat.com.

Best,

Sam Edla

Thanks. Can we not get the email alerts by default to the topic where we have participated instead of manually doing the subscribe....

Many times a person may forget to click on subscribe....

RSS is an easy way to see all of the posts in a particular folder or forum on one web page. Here's more detail: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS

Look at the list of links at the topic of the screen for the "RSS Feed" link.

Re: your other question, I'm not sure - I'll forward to our IT department!

If you go into your User Control Panel, you'll find the option to change this behavior. Click on 'Board preferences' and then 'Edit posting defaults.' Where it says 'Notify me upon replies by default:' change the radio button to 'Yes.' From then on, when you post in a topic, it will automatically subscribe you to it.
