Forum Notifications Help

added on: January 10, 2020

After receiving many requests for forum notifications, we’ve finally been able to provide them. But soon after it rolled out, we realized it has some issues. We’ve adjusted the frequency of emails so that members are not receiving an email time a new reply or thread is posted, and we’ve turned on Daily Digests. For now, the settings for these notifications are either on for everyone or off for everyone, but this is a setting we are looking at with our web team. As for post notification, there are three ways to receive them.

Receive Daily Digests If You’ve Never Posted in the Forum

If you’re never posted in the forum, the system doesn’t recognizes you as a forum user, so you will not receive the daily digests. If you would like to see what your fellow OMS administrators are discussing, just go make a single post, and then you should the daily digest. You should also be able to subscribe to the entire OMS Practice Questions forum by threads when you post by following the instructions above.
