Enabling Auto Subscribe allows Discussion Board Plus authors to receive notifications when a new topic is created and when current posts receive a reply. Turning this feature ON will alert authors who participate in the discussion when there is a new post or new reply.
Auto Subscribe enables three types of notifications:
- When your Administrator Enables Auto Subscribe
- When a New Post is Created
- When a Reply is Posted
The table below identifies discussion board actions and the corresponding email recipients when Auto Subscribe is enabled:
| Action | Alert Recipient(s) |
| A new topic is created | The post creator |
| A reply is posted | The post creator and the author of the reply |
NOTE: Only an Author* receives Auto Subscribe alerts.
