BlackBox Framework Center

We are not yet there.
Switching off all notifications is not the right thing to go.

I was only able to find the code for "Group" notifications.
That is not the right concept.

Under Options should be: Send body of post via email.
That option should be available for each Discussion Topic and each Feature Topic.

I don't know php so modifying the phpBB code that I did find would be a long process for me.
I also do not know how to place that code on our phpBB server to install it.

Doug, we can tune this a bit later if Center will support this idea. Now we should vote for this... I against the idea about sending all messages by the email. But I like this MOD and it is very good to have ability to send some message to everybody by email. For example, messages about voting or new bugs.

We are striving for:
o email only those posts in Topics which user specifies

That does not 'abuse' anymore than the BlackBox mailing list 'abused' us.
Why use that word?

I agree we need to vote on this. That makes two. Do we have a third?

-Doug

Yes - we do need a vote. I'm still getting these messages even though I have unsubscribed from the topic.

We have three options (my DRAFT vision).
- we should not change forum (remove Group notice MOD)
- we can use group notification for all center members for important Center questions (default Group notice MOD)
- we should make duplicates of all posts to emails (modify Group notice MOD)

Users should not receive ANY emails for topics and / or subforums they have not subscribed to, and the system should respect their email settings whatever the final decision is.

Agreed

Chris, as a Center member you took some responsibility for such testing. This is working moment, please, do not worry. It was necessary to test this system a bit and you was a part of that. Thank you for your contribution, you detected that settings in profile do not work and exposed opinion against any obligatory emails. I think that we will not use this ability for some time before voting now.

I slightly disagree.

The vote should be based on Issue#20 as I stated it.
Group notification is only a stop gap measure, not to be used in the final version.

We are open to modification of Issue#20 but the vote would be to accept it nor not accept it.
