… something very similar to the way wordpress works now.

Does such a function/plugin exist for bbpress?

If so, I can’t find it. If you know of one, please point it out to me.

There used to be a way to make any topic you created a favorite of yours, then you could ask for email notification for all favorites, which meant you’d get an email whenever someone replied to a topic you created (since it was a favorite of yours.) The plugin that did that was pretty old, for prior to 0.9 I believe. I imagine you’re using the latest 1.0.x release?

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/post-notification/

particularly this comment for a really simple way of doing this, I think:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/post-notification/#post-451

Or maybe this one:

https://plugins-dev.bbpress.org/browser/auto-add-favorites/trunk/auto_add_favorites.php

It’s certainly possible, with a plugin.

Its in the trunk version!

[@chrishajer Participant 15 years ago]

ashfame, trunk automatically emails you for a thread you created? I know you can request email updates (like here), but will it happen automatically when you create a thread/topic?

With the subscribe to email updates function there now, it’s probably easier to just mark the topic when you create it, like _ck_’s comment here https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/post-notification/#post-451

It’s probably just a different function now.

Thanks to both of you, let me look at this plugin and ck’s mod.

Trunk is not for production environments, is it?

[@chrishajer Participant 15 years ago]

No, that’s the unstable version. It’s in use here, so it’s fairly stable, but it’s not recommended normally.
