Topic: Subscribe to topic without email
Is it possible to subscribe to a topic withouth having to send email?
For instance, is is possible to give the option to receive email or PM?
Re: Subscribe to topic without email
Currently, no. PunBB does not have PM's at all, so such an option wouldn't make a lot of sense

Maybe PM stands for something else...sorry, I meant private messages that members can send back and forth on the forum.

PunBB doesn't have PMs by default 
It's a mod you can install though 
Re: Subscribe to topic without email
If you had your forum send a PM to everyone subsribed to a topic, wouldn't the PM table fill up pretty fast? Considering if 10 people subscribe to a topic, and there are ten replies, that means 100 rows in the PMS table. A few days and a busy forum and your database would be bloated.

I don't HAVE a signature, ok?

Geesh, I didnt' realize how much I have to learn.
