Watch just new posts in a forum, rather than all new replies

[Former Member]

Hi,

if we watch a forum via email option, for instance, PI forum, in 3 days, there were around 80 new posts and 400 replies

what i am intersted is the new posts of the threads, so that i am able to check if it is relavant me.

with watch forum by email option, i am getting so many mails.

many thread reply mails, i am not really interested, so i need to delete the replies so that my mailbox doesn't get full.

it would be better if an option is provided in the "Your wathches" page to watch just new threads.

Watched Forums:

 _____________________________________________________________________________
|Forum              | Last Post | Threads | Messages | Email | Save |  Delete |

if it can be made something like below:

 ______________________________________________________________________________________________

|                   |           |         |          |  All  | New posts only |      |         |
|___________________|___________|_________|__________|_______|________________|______|_________|
|Process Integration|           |         |          |       |  YES           |      |         |

ps:YES means the ticked checkbox.

Good point.

While we wait for development, here is a workaround: filter the mails with your mail program or web service and assign a tag "new thread" or similar.

Works OK in Google Mail, my filter criteria is "subject:(-Re: -Thread)".

Good suggestion. You can also post this in "Idea Place" which you can see on top right of SDN tabs.
