<p align="center"><b>Forum Subscription</b></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When a person is subscribed to a forum it means that
|
|
they will be sent email copies of every post in that forum
|
|
(posts are sent about <?php echo $CFG->maxeditingtime/60 ?> minutes
|
|
after the post was first written).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>People can usually choose whether or not they want to be
|
|
subscribed to each forum.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>However, if you choose to force subscription on a particular forum
|
|
then all course users will be subscribed automatically, even those that
|
|
enrol at a later time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This is especially useful in the News forum and in forums
|
|
towards the beginning of the course (before everyone has
|
|
worked out that they can subscribe to these emails themselves).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you choose the option "Yes, initially" then all current and future
|
|
course users will be subscribed initially but
|
|
they can unsubscribe themselves at any time. If you choose "Yes, forever"
|
|
then they will not be able to unsubscribe themselves.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Note how the "Yes, initially" option behaves when you update an exisitng
|
|
forum: Changing from "Yes, initially" to "No" will not unsubscribe
|
|
existing users, it will only affect future course users. Similarly changing
|
|
later to "Yes, initially" will not subscribe existing course users
|
|
but only those enrolling later.
