I have phpbb installed on one of my sites. It's not a busy forum, it's just for my customers, and not many use it. The problem is that I don't always remember to regularly check it for new posts, so it might go a few days (or more) before I notice a post I should be replying to.

Does anyone know of a hack or add-on that will automatically email me as admin anytime there is a new post? I tried asking this at phpbb's forum but no luck.

I even tried installing InvisionBoard to see if they have this feature, but I didn't see it.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks, milkbar. I think I tried that MOD once and couldn't figure it out. But the thread you mentioned seems to be more of a complete explanation. I'll give it another go.

Thanks!

milkbar:

Thanks very much. It works great. It only took about 20-30 minutes to modify and upload all the files, but then it took an HOUR to figure out why it wasn't working. Solution: As a moderator, you MUST go into your Profile and toggle on the option to receive email notification (DUH!!!)

Took me a while, but I finally figured it out.
