Forum Post notification is not working correctly
Ever since the "enhancements" announced earlier this year, forum post notification has been
less, rather than
more functional:
- Notifications are not reliably sent; I have had posts where nobody receives notification emails, and some where every project user receives them, regardless of who is added to the notification list.
- Notification subject lines are poorly worded and do not even include the title of the forum post
- Still can't remove users from notification list once they have been added
- Post author only receives notification if "Copy me for the activities which I do" option is enabled under Settings > Email Settings > Configure Notification (despite the fact it says owner will be notified by default)
- No way to disable notification for simple edits to existing posts to correct typos and such
Items 2-5 are well-established issues that have been reported previously by myself and others. But Item #1 is something I've just noticed recently in the last 2 forum posts I have made (each scenario described occurred).
Forum discussions are an important and potentially very useful way that our organization communicates and documents the developments and progress occurring in a project. Effective and reliable email notifications are a crucial requirement if this tool is to retain its utility. Can we at least get it working as well as it did before the "enhancements", or better yet fix some of the long-standing issues that have (as yet) never been addressed?
Thank you,
