Question about forum software


NO this is not another which forum software is best thread

I ran vb2 before and had a hack so that if there was a new thread posted in any forum you were allowed to subscribe and were updated right away, I was told this would be in vb3 by default.

So now I have my forums setup and I realize you can only be updated weekly or daily to new threads in any forum you subscribe to, I posted at vb.org trying to get a paid hack made for this and I have not had any luck.

Does anyone know any forum software that does support this? I don't think phpbb or ipb do atleast from what I can tell and this seems like a very minimal this to request, if not does anyone know anywhere else to request a hack like this?

I noticed on vb.com and vb.org there are quite a few other hosts out there looking for this and it has been pretty much unanswered by vb thus far.

Actually hacks are not needed. Moderators can have an option to subscribe to a forum and a new email will be sent to the moderator every time a new thread is posted.

I know this because I activated it for one of my mods, and we totally flooded his inbox.

Hey Dan, I am actually looking at this for clients so when there is an outage/maintainence they can receive a notification as soon as a thread it posted in that forum.

It looks like invisionboard is the only one offering this at the moment and still allows me to setup accounts within modernbill automatically so I am going to probably end up trying that out for a a while and see how it goes, I love vb but this is something I really need and ipb looks promising
