Title: Email-Topics?
Post by: wrjones on Thursday 21 September 17 12:47 BST (UK)
Am I right in saying there used to be an option to Email particular Topics?

You get notifications unless you change your settings. I have mine turned off.

Yes there is a "send this topic" button which lets you email a friend on a topic, you will find this button just to the right of the top blue "reply" button.

Sarah :)

Sorry, WR, I misread what you'd asked about.  However, I don't have the option on my laptop either  :-\

I've just checked on various threads I've posted on and can't see it anywhere either.

It's been missing for ages.  I thought it was just another 'refinement'  ???
Interesting that others who've missed it are on laptops, as am I.  Must have a look on my friend's desktop to see if it's there.

Sometimes AI is just too arbitrary, isn't it?    ::)  ::)  ::)

Just found that you seem to be able to send a link/topic on the ToT Board ~

Thinking about it, Carol, it doesn't seem of much use there because you'd have to be a member and be signed in before you could read the topic - a PM is the usual way, I think  ;D

(unless the whole topic listing is sent, as in Print Topic  :-\  )

I was able to send my Topic finally by means of an ordinary Copy of the Webpage.You can read any Topic,member or not,you just need to be a member to comment on a Topic.

I was referring to the fact that unless you're a member and logged in, you can't see or read ToT board topics*. I've just tried it and sent a link to a ToT topic to myself while I've been logged off and it asks me to log in,

You have always been able to do a 'print page' or what you have done (i.e. a copy) and send it via e-mail. 

Not sure why yoy would want to use 'Send Topic' really. I've managed without it for getting on for 12 years  ;D

* as my previous posts indicates, that seems to be the only board that you can send a link to at the moment.

I've "sent topics" two or three times in the past.

Alternatively simply send a 'link' to the topic in question. Just as easy  :)
(Apart from ToT, for which, as Gadget has said, you must be a logged in member to see.)

Thanks, Jennifer. I think Russell didn't understand that I was referring to the ToT board.

I've sent topics to people a few times - until the facility disappeared! - and told them how to find it to look at etc, if it's something that I think interests them.
The people concerned have had no problems reading the topics even though not RC members.

At least one of them thought it all looked so good she said she would join  :)  :)  :)
