Place the topic in the subject of notification e-mails? - About xda-developers.com

Hello!
Nowadays when we get e-mail about that someone have written something in a thread, the subject in the mail is "You have been quoted at xda-developers".
All my mails from xda about different threads looks the same. Why not just put the topic in the Subject of the mail? Then we quicker can find out what thread the mail refers/aims to.
For example the subject can look like: "New post in XDA: Place the topic in the subject of notification e-mails?"
Or: "You hav been quoted in XDA-forums: Place the topic in the subject of notification e-mails?"
More suggestions how the subject should be formatted would be great. :>
small question: how to get notifications when someone have posted in a thread? (I only get notifications when someone quotes me i think)

Hmm, no-one did understand maybe? Please tell me then :angel:
Im from sweden so we might write mysterious grammar and so.

I have passed this suggestion on to the server admin.

the way messages are organized on XDA-developers ...

one thing I am lacking whilst reading XDA have been cross-forum postings, i.e. when posting one message and it fails into different categories (of XDA Developers) I need to make a decision where I need to put it, and I can put it only in one place at a time ... as there is virtually no possibility of sending one message to diffrent forums at a time, when any response arrives it is visible in all the forums at teh same time
different forums have been read by various people, some spend more time on let's say "general" and much less on "using it" but actually knows exactly what I have been looking for, but I misses the answer as he rarely visits other forums ... hmmm, I am curious whether I am expressing myself clear enough, heh :roll:
utimately I'd love to see the same functionality newsgroups have, when I post a message to 3 forums (A,B and C) ... and when one answer to my post has been made (make it newsgroup A), it is visible on groups B and C as well
anything that can be done with respect to that shall increase knowledge sharing (at least that is my impression) :idea:
regards, monika
so in other word you mean post the same message in all forums......
bit poiuntless isnt it? the mods try to cut that down? why not just make it one big topic...
way i veiw this site is by view posts of last day then view by last visit ect... that way i can keep up to date
no, rather to make all the forums look more transparent .... not just attached to one forum where the message has been originated (written) but let's say ... having a choice of placing the massage in either one forum or up to three, because:
1. it is not always clear where to put them :wink:
2. not everybody read all the threads, not all the groups :?
regards, monika

E-Mail subfolder Notification?

Hi,
i´ve an Exchange Server. And i have E-Mail Subfolders with Rules so ive got an Email from my Boss, Exchange copy this email in the "Boss" Folder.
I can sync these folders... no Problem. But is there a chance to get a notification for new Massage in Subfolder? In the main folder ive got a message.
Hello, no one?
I was looking to an answer to this same question a while back, but I couldn't find anything. If you find a solution, please post it!
for my knowledge there is nothing that can solve your problem. I struggle with same issue and I only overcome it with changing my exchange rules.
Currently all my mails arriving in my inbox but after reading (or marked as read) the mail will be then moved to relevant folder that I set by the rule generation.
EDIT: Hey Guys: I just realized that the same question has been asked in the Blackstone/application tread as well and I had wrongly respond to both
because I thought my 1st message did not go through.. However First asking question suppose to be not in this development tread and second I think twice the same question in different treads are not allowed

Mark email as read from TF3D Preview?

I hate that most of my emails are general 2 paragraph emails, and I can read the whole email in the preview, yet I have to load outlook for it to say I already read it.
There needs to be an icon or a menu option to mark a previewed email as read right from the Touch Flow interface, that way you don't have to open outlook at all.
I searched on this site and found no answers, just other threads with the same questions: (Edit: Won't let me post links )
showthread.php?t=581344
showthread.php?t=584573
So there is definitely a demand for this, hopefully another thread will spark interest in someone developing it or a little known about cab.

Can you please remove the single-click unsubscribe from emails?

I don't know if it's just me, but I frequently end up unsubscribing from threads when I what I really wanted to do was view them.
The layout of various email notifications from different forums are all different, and in my experience most of the time the "visit this thread on the web" is the first link under the response. In the case here the first link completely unsubscribes you from the thread without any confirmation request. I then have to go and resubscribe again.
Most other forums have a confirmation page when unsubscribing - is there a reason there isn't one here?

We balance ease of unsubscribing with having a confirmation dialog to ensure member wishes to actually unsubscribe. Given that balance we err to the side of unsubscribing right away because we don't want people to mark our emails as spam. It is easy enough to re-subscribe to a topic as well. But I'd be interested in hearing others opinion on this.
Nothing makes me more mad then having to sign in when I want to cancel a subscription. That being said, I usually enjoy the XDA emails I get, but for other sites that I need to sign in to cancel email bombs, but don't know my login information. I get angry.
Keep as is.
I appreciate the perspective, but I don't see either of these points as a barrier.
How does requiring a simple one-click confirmation inside the web page change if the email is viewed as spam? In both cases the email is identical. If someone manually is flagging the email as spam then they obviously aren't active in the first place (anyone who is active wouldn't do that).
Also I didn't say that you had to log in to unsubscribe. A simple one-click confirmation inside the web page is all I'm proposing. Considering how it currently launches the site to complete the unsubscribe this would only add 2 seconds.
Personally I don't see any issues with the current email layout.
The link to the thread is at the top of the email, and the unsubscribe is WAAAAY at the bottom. I have no idea how manage to click the wrong one
Because a lot of other forums have their links all at the bottom, and the first link is usually the one to go to the web version. I'm on a lot of different forums, and I have (unfortunately) developed the habit of just clicking the first link after the response in order to see the response in it's full context.
Oddly enough other forums also have a confirmation for unsubscription.
When there's a 1-line reply it's also not "all the way at the bottom".
How about this then: Instead of a confirmation, how about just a "Did you click this by accident? Click _here_ to resubscribe" after the "You have successfully unsubscribed" message?
That way if you intended to do that then there is no change at all, but if you did it by accident it's easy to undo the action.

[Request] Add subscribed forums to the notification menu

Please redirect if a thread already exists on this question. Did a quick search of the About XDA subforum, and didn't notice anything that directly addressed this question.
So I know that on the main User CP page http://forum.xda-developers.com/usercp.php it shows "New Subscribed Threads", a listing of subscribed threads with new posts.
And of course, you can also view these on the Subscribed Threads folder listing, too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/subscription.php?do=viewsubscription&folderid=all
Could this be added to the "notifications" dropdown at the topright of the screen? As in, the notification dropdown beside the logout button on the header. Show the # of new subscribed threads there, and link to the subscribed threads folder when clicked.
I often miss posts in my subscribed threads because it's not one of the things you get notified on in the notifications dropdown. I also don't want to have my inbox spammed, so I disabled all email notifications for subscribed forums.

Ah, thanks for pointing that out. I generally stick to my own subforum so don;t know the way around the other places as much. I'll copy over my post to there.
