You can subscribe on a certain topic, so that you receive an email when someone replies in that discussion, but is it also possible that users receive an email when someone starts a new topic/discussion?

Yes, but you need to install the New Topic Notification extension from @jaredatch: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-new-topic-notifications/

Thanks for the tip. I didn’t realize that there were this much of plugins available for bbPress. The one you mentioned is not that practical. I’ve found “bbPress Notify”. Not ideal either, but it saves me from having to add all users myself. It would be nicer if people could subscribe themselves to the notifications. But for now I’m happy.

You can subscribe by RSS to any bbPress install if that is of any help

http://bbpress.org/forums/feed/ & http://bbpress.org/topics/feed/

Yes, I know. But subscribers will then have to install an RSS-reader. And relatively few people even know what RSS is…

Hi,

I have the exact same problem/question as erwin.odendall !

I’d like to let my users subscribe to forums (as well as topics)…
