Notifications are a way to keep up with interesting topics (http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Topic) and boards (http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Board). This may be a topic which you have posted in, or a topic which you are interested in keeping up with.
Using Notifications Subscribing to a Topic There are two ways to subscribe to a topic:
- When you are posting a reply (http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Posting#Replying_to_a_Topic_or_Poll), under Attachments and other options (http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Posting#Additional_Options), you may check the Notify me of replies box.
- When you are viewing the topic, you may select the Notify button at the top or bottom of the page. You will be asked if you are sure, select OK to confirm the subscription.
Subscribing to a Board To subscribe to a board, you may select the Notify button at the top or bottom of the Message Index (http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Message_index) of the respective board.
Unsubscribing from a Topic or Board Once you have subscribed to a topic or a board, you may manage your subscriptions in your profile (http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Profile), under Modify Profile > Notifications.
On the Notifications page, you will be presented with a list of every topic and board you have subscribed to. To unsubscribe from topics or boards, check the boxes for the respective topics and boards and then click on Unsubscribe.
To quickly unsubscribe from a topic or a board which you are currently viewing, you may select the Unnotify button which is located above and below the topic display (http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Topic_display) or the message index of a board
