We are running bbpress 1.0.2 and we have had several user requests for a function that will let users subscribe to a topic or get an email notification that another user has replied to a post. I’ve looked through the extensions here but cannot find anything on this.

Every topic has its own RSS in the form site.com/rss/topic/topic-name

You may install the trunk version of bbPress (it has that feature in-built) or install this plugin by _ck_ – https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/subscribe-to-topic/

Thanks Gautam. That pllugin was easy to install. Unfortunately, I believe it uses phpmail, which we have turned off on our server b/c we use Google Apps for all our corp email.

Anyone know how to change the plugin to utilize 3rd party smtp?

What is the ‘trunk version’ of bbpress?
