    Subscribe Options:

    • Allow members to subscribe to threads – restricts subscription to specific threads within the forum. (NOTE: Threads are first-column posts.)
    • Allow members to subscribe to forum – allows subscription to all threads within the forum.
    • Include body of post in the email – includes the actual text posted to the forum in the email notification, as well as, a link to the post/reply.
    • Include link to post – will add a link to the post/reply in the email notification. (NOTE: When a student clicks the link, they are taken directly to the discussion post. If the actual text were included in the email, the learner could easily reply directly to the poster, bypassing the discussion entirely.)
