NOTIFICATIONS
You can receive two types of notifications, (1) forum notifications and (2) push notifications via email.
Forum Notifications
When you receive a Forum notifications a badge will appear over the button on the navigation bar. For example, when someone sends you a new private message, a badge will appear with the number '1' on the Messages button, letting you know there’s one new PM.
Email Notifications
If you set up email notifications, you can receive push notifications for a variety of different actions. The reliability of email notifications varies from user to user, depending on the device, PC, and email provider.
HOW TO SELECT TYPES OF NOTIFICATIONS
To set up your notifications, click Profile on the navigation bar > Edit Profile button > Notifications tab
On the notifications page, there’s a series of checkboxes in two columns. Checking the boxes in the left column will allow you to receive notifications that will show as a badge on the Profile button on the navigation bar.
Checking the boxes in the right hand column will also allow you to receive an email push notification for the options you checked.
You can choose to receive both forum and email notifications for certain actions. Below is a list of the most popular notifications types with a brief description:
• when someone likes your content: notification when someone has liked a post you made on the Forum
• when someone quotes you: notification when someone reply to you by quoting your forum post
• when someone tags you: notification when someone mentions you by using your forum name (e.g., username ) and a link to the post where you were tagged
• when someone follows you: notification when a member has followed your profile activity
• when someone becomes your friend: if you are following a member and they follow you back, you will become friends on the forum and will receive a notification
• when a bookmark is updated: if you use the Forum’s bookmarking feature, you will be notified when a topic you have bookmarked has been updated
• when a thread you have participated in is updated: notification if someone posts in a thread you had previously posted in (if the notification is sent by email, you will receive at most one email per day containing a list of all updated threads)
• when you receive a Personal Message: notification if you’ve been sent a new PM conversation, or if there’s been a reply to an existing PM conversation
Once you have set your options, click the Save Notification Settings button to complete the process.
Notification Frequency (Only Applies to Email Notifications)
You can control the frequency of email / push notifications. Here’s a description of each type of delivery.
• Smart: only emails you once per item on the forum until you've viewed the item you're being notified about. So if you were notified about a thread you wouldn't receive any further updates about that thread until you visited the forum and viewed the thread.
• Instant: emails you every time a notification is triggered.
• Daily: only emails you once per day for all the day's notifications.
• Weekly: only emails you once per week of all the week's notifications. A week is Monday thru Sunday.
• Never: never receive an email notification.
Other Types of Notifications
ProBoards push notifications can also be set up through the Tapatalk app. You can select notifications for specific threads and other actions. For mobile users, Tapatalk tends to be more reliable than email notifications. The app also allows users to post, although you’ll be viewing the Forum in its mobile version, so many of the Forum’s features will not be available. It’s advisable to use the Desktop version, which is easily accessible on a mobile device. Open the Forum on your browser, and press Desktop in the lower right corner of any Forum page.
