Some members may notice that they are receiving different notifications now on boards and topics that interest them.
One of the Mods I trialled 2 days ago claimed that it was compatible with SMF1.1.11, and would change notifications to include new replies as well as new topic on those boards for which members have requested notifications. It has certainly done that, but in some surprising ( and some unwanted ) ways!
For example, I got 3 sets of notifications for BJ's OP
here, one showing a New Topic ( which it should ), and 2 showing him making a reply to himself, ( which aren't there. )
Looking at his post, I believe this may be accounted for by the fact that he made 2 edits / modifications to his OP.
Now the reason why I trialled this Mod was because I have long wanted to be notified of new replies as well as new topics, but the support information on the SMF forum said nothing about every edit generating a New Reply notification !
Unfortunately I can do nothing about this now, so I can only advise members who find too many replies being sent to their email to simply delete the unwanted ones ( or to withdraw their requests for notifications all together. )
I believe that it may have been this Mod which gave us a software glitch preventing new posts, so I have actually deleted all traces of it from the forum. However, it has obviously changed our scripts in some way, and I can do nothing about that now, as I am neither competent to edit php scripts, nor do I have the means of uploading any such changes to our server even if I were.
So we shall have to adapt to what we now have. At least it is now generating too many notifications, rather than too few, as before !
