Forum subscriptions enable a particpant to receive email messages when there is activity in a moodle forum. This article details how to:
- modify the forum subscription and digest settings for your individual profile
- modify forum settings for your individual profile when viewing a forum activity
*Note: some forum activities may have subscription settings defined by the instructor that take precidence over profile-level settings.
Forum Settings in your Profile
- In the upper right hand corner of the Moodle page, click on your picture (or the icon of a person) and select Preferences.

- In the window that opens under "Preferences/User Account" select Forum Preferences

- In the window that opens, we suggest that you select Subjects (daily email with subjects only) and then Save changes.This means that you will receive just ONE email a day (usually around 5 pm) and it will contain just the subject heading for each new posting. These emails will also contain links to the forum posting. NOTE: You will still need to SUBSCRIBE to forums to receive these emails (see step 4 and following).

4. Forum Settings in the Forum Activity
Auto-subscription:
If you would like to receive email notification of postings to every forum in the course, in the Forum Preferences window (same as above), under Forum auto-subscribe select Yes: when I post, subscribe me to that forum discussion (NOTE: you must actually POST TO--not just create--a forum in order to auto-subscribe)

Settings for individual forums can be managed when viewing the Forum activity
-
Click on a forum activity in the course.
- In the Administration block, select Subscribe to this forum. You will need to do this for each forum you would like to receive emails.
