MAIL OR RSS FEED

N5NHJ

I would like to receive e-mails for any post on the forum. I think this feature is not available. Is an RSS feed available, instead? I can build my own service to have the feed forwarded to my e-mail.

Thanks

To get an RSS feed, use the URL: https://community.flexradio.com/discussions/feed.rss

You have to set the notification preferences in your profile to get email notifications. You can turn it on or off for the different categories.

Thank you Tim @W4TME, I set up my my mail client to read the feed and everything is fine.

I too would like to know if there is an RSS feed option for the various subgroups in the Community.

@N5NHJ  In this post, you asked a question where you wanted to get an answer, but the post was designated as a discussion topic. Please see the Message Board post Using New Q&A (Question & Answer) Feature for how to create a Question and Answer (Q&A) post. I went ahead and converted your post to a Q&A.

In the old Community, there was an option to receive an email every time a new topic was started. It could have been Praise, Idea, Problem etc. but the result was universal: every new topic that was started generated an email.

I see on my profile page how to set notification preferences for discussion topics in which I already have some involvement. But I don't see an option to receive email notification for every new topic universally. Is that an option with the new Community?

Hi Tim,

There is an options to set the various "categories" to "following" that is supposed to do what you are looking for. But it does not appear to be working. See my comments in the "question" post. You can give it a try and please add your feedback to my question if you are able to make it work.

Al/NN4ZZ: I have set all my notification preferences to "email" and I did receive an email notification after you replied to this thread earlier today. Perhaps I got that email because I have set my "Notify me when people comment on discussions I've participated in" option to "email."

What I am looking for is an option to receive an email notification for every new discussion topic when the topic is first opened. This was a feature of the old community. All the notification options available to us now seem to require that I have some connection to the topic on a personal level. Such as, "Notify me when people comment on my discussions; Notify me when people comment on my bookmarked discussions; Notify me when people mention me." I probably want all those, but beyond those, I would like to receive an email for each new topic when it is first opened. I can't see how to do that.

Tim,

See my other post....you should be able to "follow" any or all of the categories and NOT have to tag each conversation.

Do we know what enabling "Follow" is supposed to do?

If it sends an email whenever a new discussion is started in a category, that's what I want. But if it sends an email every time there is a new post to a topic in a category, I definitely DON'T want that.

I understand that it is not working for you right now, either way.

@tparish for category RSS, use this type of URL syntax: https://community.flexradio.com/categories/message-board/feed.rss
