Forums

Subscribe or unsubscribe from Forums


What?

When a user is subscribed to a Forum it means they will receive a notification (via myLearn and/or email, depending on the user’s set preferences) when a new post is made in a Forum. It is possible to subscribe to all Forums in a site, or specific Forums only. It is possible to receive a notification every time a new post is made, or via a daily email digest. This section details how to subscribe or unsubscribe yourself to Forums.

Why?

Subscribing to a Forum is one useful way of keeping track of what has been posted in a Forum or specific Forum discussion, and is particularly useful when timely notification (i.e. of recent posts) is desired. 

Tip: By default, notifications in myLearn are sent about 30 minutes after the Forum post was saved. Emails can be configured to send each time a Forum post is made, or via a daily digest.
