Send email for any new post

[lrleitman]

I have closed small forum with only 200 users where all are registered users.
I must find a way that people will get email for any new post on any topic, but without them to manually go topic by topic and click "watch topic", people don't tend to do it and don't know to do it, even though I asked them.

The above can be done either I logged in on behalf of each user (but I don't know thier passwords !) or any other way or script. Please help, this is really urgent request as this is small group some are not computer literate and they don't access the site frequently.

No sorry are ACP don't have a setting like that sorry
It's upto your members to change the settings in there profile to have this turned on or off and for each post / thread made.

You can not make some one do this if they don't want to its what we call members choice.

Once again sorry this can not be done,

Or, you could just send them a newsletter since the messages do redirect to their emails even though they closed the "Receive Notifications"

thanks all, I appreciate it ... I do send them newletters because of that, but this is manual, at least can I send automatic newsletters ?

Alright, easy way.

Add everyone in a group by making sure that that group is auto-subscribed and then PM that group so everyone will get a notification of it already in the forum too but yeah, in news letter, just check the names ._.
