Hi,

I searched the board about this topic and found nothing. So I suggest an e-mail notification system if a new post is posted in the forum. I think a configurable notification system would be very nice, e. g. notification only if a new topic is started, general notification, notification only category-specific and so on. I think an e-mail notification would help some people to know, that they are a member of a community...
So if a new member is registered, e-mail notification should be automatically enabled.

The subscription feature already works with email notification.

But not for forums.

Enabling it by default would be a very bad idea, if you are on a forum with several hundred posts per day you will end up with perhaps 1000 e-mail messages in a week per member.

Well,

I have a small forum (max = 4 post/week) so I think this function should be enabled by the admin or the user himself. I think, the admin should be able to configure an "automatic enabled/disabled for new member" email notification. If the new member doesn't want this, he/she should be able to disable this feature himself.
