The BOINC message board system allows users to 'subscribe' to a thread - to
receive automatic notification of new posts in threads of interest. It appears
that the subscription notification is triggered only by a direct post into a
thread, and is not triggered by a moderator moving an existing post into the
thread. Could both 'post' and 'move' be made into equivalent event triggers,
please?

I maintain two threads at SETI@Home

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=71867

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=74238


which by agreement with the moderators are kept 'locked and sticky' as pure
information sources - discussion takes place in general threads. It is easier 
for
both me and the moderation team if we perform updates asynchronously - I post in
an 'open' thread, and moderators move the post into a 'locked' thread when
convenient. But I have received a complaint that this procedure fails to trigger
the subscription feature - although the thread does display the 'yellow pages'
unread post notification.

The alternative synchronous procedure - I request the moderators to unlock, they
tell me when they've done it, I make the new post, the moderator locks the 
thread
again - is clumsier for all of us, but does generate a notification to 
subscribed
readers. _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list
