Feature Request...
I visit some message boards on Delphi, and one wonderful feature that they offer is that anytime anyone posts a reply to you, you're emailed to let you know that a reply is waiting and who it's from.
This alleviates the problem of forgetting when one has posted in a thread in a forum one doesn't visit often and not responding to a question because you forgot to look! Is this possible with UBB?

Dan, I know some other boards offer the option to send an email every time a thread is changed, although this creates a lot of email I always find it an excellent way to track old and lost threads, is this a feature tha UBB can do as well?

I'll check, but I don't think it's part of the normal UBB. If it isn't too much difficulty, we may be able to hack it in; no promises, though

FWIW, as far as I'm concerned, Dan, that would be priority number, ... well about, ... maybe some 7 digit number!</font>

Even if it were number one, I doubt your ISP's email server could handle the load that would surely result from this feature for you. <g></font>

Michael's looking into this hack, though, as well as the search functions.
