changes in email notifications

[mfinn]

I've noticed lately that when I get a email notification from R2R that someone has replied to a thread I'm subscribed to, it no longer contains what was said in the post.
It use to.
I went back and looked in my deleted email file and the last day I got a notification that contained what was said, was on 7/20.
Everything after that only contains a simple email that someone replied to the thread.
I haven't changed any settings.

I've noticed this as well, so we're in the same boat. Seems like something changed with the forum software. @revhtree

It was actually pretty handy to know.
I hope there is a way to revert back to the way it was.

We'll have to wait for the Rev to chime in. It might have been caused by a newly installed add-on.

I noticed the change and also don't seem to be getting any emails now on watched threads. I just unwatched and watched again to see if it corrects.

@revhtree maybe you can shed some light on this?

I've noticed too. Waiting on Revs reply.

I also have noticed the issue

Same here!

I guess one of the reasons I'm not happy with the new email notifications is that it doesn't tell you anything.
It's kind of like spam IMO.

We've been testing out some things. I have set this back now, for now, while we continue to text.

Thanks.

Thank-you.
I really like the ability to see what is said when I get the notification.

I do as well! We just want people to interact with messages and post and not view them in email and move on.

People like you visit daily and post. I will find a way so that members like yourself will see the text snippets so no worries and thank you.

Speaking for myself, I will read the email and click on the "View This Thread" link as a way to check if more replies have been posted - so it's kind of best of both worlds.

Thank you and that's the whole intention of the email!

Be careful with this. Not to sound rude but I like making decisions for myself in this regard.

Thinking about it more though, you could restrict the length of message to 40-50%. Giving us a sneak peak into the message? This would help us determine if it's important or pertinent. I think that would be a happy medium?

Or better yet, let the user decide via a setting in the CP

Despite what WE want, still need to consider this is a business. Between sponsors and advertisements it's understandable that R2R needs traffic. But that balance between control and no control is what needs to be decided.

Thanks for the input!
