Hi all,

I’m used to phpbb.com software. Does BBpress have an email notification function that lets members know of replies to threads (instead of RSS)? I’m introducing a bunch of email list users to Bulletin Boards for the first time, and am really hoping this software works well.

Also, they are not very technical. Does BBpress have easy to use buttons for customising posts?

Your users probably want to mark a topic as a favorite if they want an email when there is a reply. A topic created by a member does not automatically subscribe them to it as a favorite (I think in some versions of phpBB that’s how it works.)

For buttons, you probably want one of these two plugins:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbcode-buttons/

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/quicktags-4-bbpress/

You’ll find with bbPress that most of the things you want to do can be accomplished with plugins.

OK, I’ll let my friend who does the installs know. Cheers.

Yeah in phpBB there is a user setting where they can state that they want to automatically subscribe to any topic they reply.
