Hi,

I just installed Drupal the other day and really like the forum so far. But it seems too simple. Is there an option to allow users to subscribe to forum notifications? In other words, when someone posts in a particular forum a user is subscribed to, they get a notification by email? What about subscribing to particular topics?

I also noticed that attachments can only be done for main topics. Is it possible to allow attachments in the comments too?

Thanks,
- Matt.

Hey Matt

I believe the Subscriptions module is what you are looking for.

http://drupal.org/project/subscriptions

From project page:

This module enables users to subscribe to be notified of changes to nodes or taxonomies, such as new comments in specific forums, or additions to some category of blog. Once enabled, all nodes will have an additional link that allows the user to change their subscriptions.

For comments, if you're using upload.module, see: http://drupal.org/project/comment_upload. If you're using attachment.module insetad of upload.module for nodes, you may still be able to use upload and comment_upload for comments (http://drupal.org/node/98927).

As for other enhancements to the default forum, in the Install & Config guide, under migrating from other software, there's a section on phpBB which includes a page (http://drupal.org/node/58969) which lists some other modules you could try.
