I have members who want to get notified via email when a post has been added to a specific category. Like most things related to discourse, I can’t figure it out. I see the bell, but that doesn’t seem to send anything to the inbox.

Have them change Category to watching [Screenshot_20231229-201643] The SS above shows it from topic controls. They can add a category to watched in Preferences. [Screenshot_20231229-202516] Alternatively There is a Customization > Theme component that can make this easier as well. …

Pídeles que cambien la categoría a “Viendo”

La captura de pantalla anterior muestra la opción desde los controles del tema. Pueden agregar una categoría a “Seguidos” en Preferencias.

Alternativamente, existe un componente de tema de Customization que también puede facilitar esta tarea.

También hay un plugin de Customization que permite seguir a otros miembros.
