We’ve introduced a new option to help cut down on email overload from busy topics and reduce unnecessary emails overall.

A big thank you to forum member @Grisu for helping test this new feature.

What’s new?

You can now choose to receive just one email per topic notification, even if multiple replies are posted.

---

How it worked before (and still does by default)

By default, the UKTechHUB forum sends you an email every time someone replies to a topic you’re subscribed to.

This hasn’t changed and it’s still the standard behavior unless you decide otherwise.

---

How the new option works

When replying to a topic, you can still tick:
“Notify me of follow-up replies via email.”

You’ll now also find a new setting in your profile:
“Notify me only once per topic until I view the topic again.”

If this option is enabled:

• You’ll receive one email notification per topic
• Any further replies in that topic won’t trigger more emails
• Notifications will resume only after you visit (open) the topic again

If this option is not enabled (default):

• You’ll receive an email for every new reply, just like before

---

Important note

If you stay logged in all the time, this won’t reset notifications on its own.

To start receiving emails again for a topic, you must actually open and view the topic page — simply being logged in isn’t enough.

Seems I have to log in twice a week again instead of monthly.
Something has changed in the last few weeks.

Morning @Grisu – I made some changes to overcome the password login duration issue, and have been testing since Saturday.

Can you let me know if issue remains after a testing for a week or so ?

After 6 days I have to login again, should be a month or even more.

Interestingly, two of my accounts also required me to log back in again a day or so ago, I have checked cookie expiration and its still 3 months from the 22nd June. I will keep watching this also over the next six days to see if this happens again.
