Dear all,

the situation is as follows:

I've set up a forum in our Moodle for all students in a specific degree program.

The forum is set to 'optional subscription', so students need to actively sign in to get the notifications, and I think around two third have done so.

The forum is open to all participants to post messages.

When I as a teacher post a message, all participants who subscribed to the forum get a notification. However, if one of the students posts a message I don't get notified. When I look at the forum it seems like I have to manually subscribe to each message a student posts. But this can't be correct, right? Is there some setting I have overlooked?

In the image you can see, three messages I have posted and one which has been posted by a student. I got notifications from my own posts, but not from the post of the student.

Any tips or ideas would be much appreciated.

kind greetings!

Victor

Hi Victor,
You may need to click the "Subscribe to forum" button to subscribe to not just individual threads, but the whole forum. See here:

Hi Nathan,

thank you for the quick reply and the solution!

It seems like that was indeed the problem, I just wasn't subscribed to my own forum and I didn't realize it because I did get notifications of my own posts!

My version of Moodle is different form yours, but the principle of the solution is the same: https://moodle.org/pluginfile.php/112/mod_forum/post/1789514/Capture%20moodle%20solve.JPG

all the best and have a good weekend,

Victor

Hi Victor,
Here is an even easier way to know which forums you are already subscribed to and how to subscribe to additional forums with one click!:

Dear Nathan,

Is this within a single course? Or is it for all the courses you are enrolled in?

Your version of Moodle looks totally different from mine, I think that at my university were are behind on some updates mrknout

kind greetings
