Email notifications in the forum

jenniferbutler8 · 9 May 2018, 03:46 PM

Email notifications have now been added to forum posts. If you reply to a forum post, you will now automatically receive email notifications for replies to that forum post.

If you wish to stop emails from a specific thread, you can click the 'unfollow' button on a given thread. But note that by clicking this button, you will not see the thread in your tracker anymore. So if you want to see the thread in your tracker, but not receive emails, you will have to wait until the above issue is acted upon by the Drupal Association. At the moment, it's all-or-nothing; tracker and email, or no tracker and no email.

Thanks for the Association for moving forward on this issue, as it's been needed for about a decade now.

Reported this post. Looks suspicious to me. First time poster, posted in the wrong forum and I have no clue what she’s talking about.

Agree that it looks suspicious, yet what the OP said is factual.

Perhaps a new type of factual Spam?

If it isn't Spam, let the OP explain the purpose of her post.

I also reported the post as soon as it appeared, and as you say, I could also see no point to the post at all.

We have had instances here on the forum where someone has asked a question, which on the surface looked quite reasonable, until some of our more eagle eyed veterans have answered by posting a link to the exact same question (same sentences/phrasing/words etc) asked by someone else on the forum, weeks, months or even years ago.

I don't know what is hoped to be accomplished by this spam, I only have to hope that the mods remove the posts.

Otherwise, what is the point of reporting posts to try to keep the forum clear of spam, if the reports are not acknowledged or acted upon?

Hello, Fred.

A more fundamental and existential question would be whether this Forum is any longer being moderated or has it been left on auto-pilot until it crashes and burns.

The forum is moderated and the spammer in the making is banned.

When I report a message, generally the post/poster quickly disappeared afterwards.
