Question to ListServ:

Is there a way that I can be notified by email whenever a student posts something to a forum on The View? My guess is no since I don't see any options like this, but I thought I would ask. Most all of the other forums that I participate in online allow me to subscribe to the thread/forum and have the ability to notify users when someone posts which is very convenient so that you don't have to manually check the online forum needlessly. <<< Do JICS forums allow for this type of email notification? Is it possible in a later version? If so, is it directed to the Message Center or to the EML address of the forum 'master'?

• Click on Subscribe to Topic. It's in the upper right hand corner when you open up the topic.

from Jody Burzinski <JodyB@labette.edu>

• Yes that will work. One complaint I have from faculty is that all of the emails come from the admin, and have the same subject line. Is there a way to configure this differently?
