Implemented Subscribe to or watch a forum

[Paul B]

I find this feature quite useful on my existing forum software, especially for forums which aren't heavily used.

When a new thread is created or a reply is made, I receive an email.

Here of course the Alerts system could be utilised instead of or in addition to email.

I though that would be a useful feature, especially for e.g. the Have You Seen and Announcements forums.

This feature is a must.

This feature is a must.

I agree. This is a feature I use on most other forums.

I would like to see this in the beta ;-)

An option for notification for threads and posts or new threads only would be nice, too.

Yes watching a forum is a MUST...
But so is disabiling the "you will not receive another email unless you vist the forum..."

Indeed a much wanted feature, would love to see this implemented at some point, would be a perfect 1.1 feature.

Please add this to xf - has this already been considered for 1.x?

This is a necessity. Please add this feature.

That plugin by BD (Watch Forum) works perfectly.
I guess I am biased because he made it to my specs.
You can read the specs here: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/request-watch-forums.9833/#post-134471
But no, I haven't seen any issues with it yet.

Instead of "watching" forums, the terminology should be "favorite" forums. There should also be an option for a user to view only their favorited forums when visiting the forum index instead of the normal forum index.

All...

You all realize this has been made already correct?

Mods should probably close this thread.
