Changing email notification settings for users

mwoo

The default settings seem to be to email when someone posts to a "bookmarked" discussion, but only have a popup when they are mentioned in a post. They only get this when they login though.

I know users can change this themselves, but is there anyway for an admin user to change it for certain users?

I'm also wondering if there is a way to change the default settings, so when new users are setup, these settings will take effect from the start?

Thank You.

Hi @mwoo, as the administrator you can edit any member's notification settings via their profile. And yes, we can customize the defaults for new members for your site. Is changing 'mentions' to also get an email the only change you'd like?

Hi Lincoln,

I found where to do it in the profile, thanks! I had looked under "edit" in the user list.

Can you add an email for "mentions", as well as for "replies to my discussion". This may end up being too much, but at this point we are still trying to find the best way.

Thanks again for your help.

Sure, I've changed the defaults for both those settings to be 'on' for new members.
