JFB - Forum Subscription Question

[Charlyee]

Joe, there does not appear to be an option for *Immediate* notification for Forum Subscription, as there is for the threads. The shortest period is *every day*.

Could the *immediate* option be also made available for the Forum Subscriptions?

Thanks Much.

This is no setting for me to turn on for immediate notifications for subscriptions to an entire forum.
Sorry.

This does not apply to the forums for me, so this may be somewhat off topic.

I've subscribed to a few of the tower hunting albums where I've posted my cell tower pics and it seems after every time someone uploads a few pics, I'll get 50 emails from WA. They'll say the same thing. I can't remember exactly what it says as I usually delete all of them once I get them.
It's not the same email for "New Upload Notification, I usually only get 3 emails if someone uploads 3 pics. So those come in fine. I'll have to remember to look at one the next time I get a bunch.

There really is no potential for flodding since the notification comes only when a new thread is started in the subscribed forum.

I have a subscription to the "Treo Pro Forum " in Treo Central and it is very useful to get a notification when a new thread is posted. In that case the actual thread is included in the E-Mail, which makes it even better, since I can decide to not bother with it or go in there and post.
