Email Notification

[jonno946]

Hi there,

I am currently getting the email notification to work on my forum (to notify users a reply has been posted).

I am ok doing the basic while() loop to mail() each poster who has enabled email notification to notify them of a reply, however i want to limit the number of emails i send (to prevent me bombarding peple withe mail notifications and server usage down).

The easiest way i figured is what vbulletin (this forum) does, however i cant figure out how to get it working.

I want to somehow ONLY send an email to a user that already hasn't recieved an email notification since their last visit to the thread/replied to the thread.

Just wondering how you guys would go about this?

Jonathan.

hmmmmmm well u would have to record datetime of the last visit to a thread on the forum ... then u would have to record datetime for the emails u send ... and of course the datetime of any thread updates

then its easy to see if u need to email them about changes to a thread
