Some of you might remember that we had something like this about 10 years ago. Somewhere along the way it broke, started costing money, or both, and I lost track of it.
We’re bringing it back! The idea is simple: receive a forum notification, hit **Reply**, type your response, and send. Your reply will appear in the correct forum thread under your member account.
Hopefully this makes participating easier for anyone who has trouble logging into the forum—or just doesn’t particularly enjoy doing it. It’s a little return to old-school newsboard culture, if that doesn’t reveal my age too much.
**How to turn it on once testing is complete**
1. Log into the forum and open your profile’s **Edit** page.
2. Check **Allow forum post replies via email replies**.
3. Save your profile.
4. Subscribe to the topics or forums you want notifications from.Email replies are off by default. To use them, you’ll need **at least 10 published forum posts and an account at least 30 days old**.
When replying, type your response **above the quoted email**. Attachments aren’t supported yet, so please use the website to share files or pictures. Keep notification emails private—the reply credentials are tied to your account. Normal forum permissions and moderation still apply.
I’m doing a small test before opening this up. I’ll update this thread when it’s ready for everyone.
Checking if this works.
