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. …

Demandez-leur de changer la catégorie en « à regarder »

La capture d’écran ci-dessus montre l’option depuis les contrôles du sujet. Ils peuvent ajouter une catégorie à « à regarder » dans les Préférences.

Il existe également un composant de thème Customization > Theme component qui peut faciliter cette opération.

Il existe aussi un plugin Customization > Plugin qui permet de suivre les membres.
