where is the 'notify button that you are suposed to click in order to get notification from that topic?
on the top and bottom of the thread, the same place you click reply, right of that

I don't see that. it goes directly from the 'reply 'option to 'Mark Unread'.
do i have to somhow 'Enable' it?
Then you might have a profile option on to automatically notify you about topics you've posted in. Try looking at an old topic you've never seen before.
As far as i read, what mthw says will work
Yeah, but I wouldn't turn on automatic notifications for every topic you post in, unless you like a full mailbox every day. Just pick the interesting topics manually.
Note: you can't activate notifications for custom map comments.
I've asked Virgil to look into the permissions settings to see if there is perhaps an issue.
I'm trying to attach it the this post.
ok. what you have to do is download it, then click open, then go into the ziped file and open the paint file.
this is what my prefrences are on my profile.
Yeah....
It looks like I have the "notification" permission turned off. The mistake is that it is actually enabled for "beta" group members. I have outbound email limitations in place right now, this is why I have it turned off.
I'm looking into a better email solution, though (for some neat things I have planned for CW2). Once I have that in place, I will turn the notifications permission on for everyone.
so that's why all the betas have it, but he doesn't
ok, so i have to wait until cw2 is done/released. thats ok...
What does the button do anyways?
The notify button notifies (http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?action=help;page=index#topic)....
You know what.... I'm just going to turn it on as an experiment.
So notification is on for everyone as of right now. I'll monitor it over the next few days to see how things are going.
