Each forum can have its own email notification settings that override the global defaults set in the Settings tab. This lets you route notifications for different forums to different addresses — for example, sending pool-related post alerts to the pool committee and neighborhood-watch alerts to the watch coordinator.
How to Configure Per-Forum Notifications
- Navigate to Administer Site > Forums.
- Click the title of the forum you want to configure.
- Click the Notification Settings tab (second tab in the edit form).
- Use the Email Alerts?dropdown to choose one of three options:
- Use Default Settings — The forum inherits whatever is configured in the global Settings tab. No additional fields appear.
- Off — Email alerts are disabled for this forum, regardless of the global setting.
- On— Email alerts are enabled for this forum. Two additional fields appear:
- To — The primary recipient email address for posts in this forum. Accepts multiple addresses separated by commas.
- Bcc — An optional blind-carbon-copy address. Accepts multiple addresses separated by commas.
- Click Save.
Note: The per-forum notification settings only control the To and Bcc addresses — the subject line is set globally in the Settings tab and cannot be overridden per forum.
Tip: If you want most forums to use a shared board email address but one specific forum to go to a committee, set the board address in Settings and override only the committee's forum here.
