Emails upon reply

how do i set this up so that my members get emails when a thread they started or replied to has a new reply?

 

You need to setup your vBulletin mail server to use your server as an outgoing mail server. It should be in your vBulletin manual.

 

AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> User Registration Options -> Default Registration Options -> Automatic Thread Subscription Mode: Instant email notification

 

vBulletin Options -> 'User Registration Options'

Scroll down to "Default Registration Options", and in the "Automatic Thread Subscription Mode" dropdown menu, choose "Instant Email Notification".

Then, to enable it for people who are already registered, go to "Execute SQL Query" in your admin panel, and from the "Automatic Query" menu, choose "Instant Email Notification", and click "Continue".

 

can you disable it for certian people or usergroups?

or give them the option?

 

You can choose in your User CP under the Edit Options part.

 

In your includes/config.php file you need to edit this part;

$config['SpecialUsers']['canrunqueries'] = 'x';

Just replace x with your user ID.

 

UPDATE user SET autosubscribe = 1
restart?

Confirm Query Execution

or continue?

 

Click the 'Continue' button under 'Confirm Query Execution'.

 

thanks alot!
