There are 15 topics on the forum ,,,, I respectfully suggest that when having subscribed to a post and a topic notification refeering to that post arrives in
their email inbox,,, that the topic notification indicate which topic the notification refers to,,,currently the notification refers to the post not to the topic,,,, due to
(1) my age
(2) and pending senility i always have difficulty
(3) remembering
(5)finding
the topic to which the notification refers,,thank you for your attention have a nice Sunday your comments will be appreciated

Good Morn wombat you are awake unusually early being a nocturnal creature ,,,,the need is for the notification to advise what topic the post is in,,, the notification will take you to the topic only not to the general
forum so you have to open the forum and search for the post from 15 topics,,(remember the age and senility bit) ,,if you are in the general forum and you want to have a look at a particular post how do you
remember which of the 15 topics your post is in,,options are go to email and find the notification or go to user details and have a look,,,, better that the notification advise in the first place where the post is,,,ok
wombat go back to bydies now good night, sleep tight love you kisskiss

Thanks for the great suggestions - it would make sense if we could make something like that happen. I will contact the company that hosts the forum and see if those changes are possible. Fingers crossed.

I'm confused so have subscribed to this thread to see what happens. I thought if you clicked on the bit that wombat indicated it took you to the actual thread you were subscribed to. Not to the front page as you indicated turbopete. I will be watching with interest.

Thank you Nicholstones. It worked. Got the notification in my email, clicked on the link and it brought me straight in here.
I'm not confused anymore. It does take you straight to the thread you subscribed to. Sorry Turbopete, not sure what you are doing different.

I'm wombat, I was confused but now see what is going on I think.
what turbopete is saying is there is no indication in the email link to say what topic the post is in that he wants to see.
http://thegreynomads.activeboard.com/@ suggestion to the owner/forum.spark?aBID=51933&p=3&topicID=51514499
I think he want's to see the topic heading in the link, see red text above.
over to you turbopete is this what you are after?
if yes then I don't think it can be done, its controlled by activeboard, maybe ask Cindy

turbopete, I don't think it will show the info you require, well at least you found out who the webmaster is.

The world won't end if my suggestion is not technically or indeed if Cindy decides against,,,,the idea will just make for a little more convenience and a technical advance in the forum
