You can set default email notification
settings for all forum participants before a forum is open.
However, after a forum is open, individual participants can select
their own notification settings. Their personal preferences will override the
default setting.
Note:
- You can change the default notification settings at any
time; these changes will affect all participants who have not selected personal
notification settings.
- Personal notification
settings work on a per-forum basis.

In the upper right-hand corner of the forum page, click your

Optional:
To receive email notifications when someone creates a new

Selecting this option means that when someone creates a new
top-level post within the forum, you will receive an email notification.

top-level posts.

All
replies to my posts: You receive email notifications whenever
someone directly or indirectly replies to a post or reply you created. For
example, if Person A replies to you and Person B replies to Person A, you will
receive email notifications regarding both replies.

Direct
replies only: You only receive email notifications when someone
directly replies to a post or reply you created. For example, if Person A
replies to you and Person B replies to Person A, you will only receive an email
notification regarding Person A's reply.

notifications are not sent for any replies.
