Let me ask if there is a way to send email notification to users (or users to register to get email notification) when new thread or new post is added.

Yes – you can download and install the ‘Subscriptions’ SP plugin.
It looks like that plugin is outdated?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think he’s looking for a plugin that will email users anytime a new topic is added. (That’s what I’m looking for anyways.)
As an admin, there is an option so that I’m automatically emailed when a new post is added, but is there anything like that for a user?
to get an email on new posts, you have to be subscribed to the topic… there is no facility for users to receive an email on any new post to the forum… that is what RSS is for…
admins and moderators can get emails for new posts…
This is possible with a PHP edit to: /forum/library/sp-post-support.php line 29:
Change:
$admins = spdb_table(SFMEMBERS, ‘admin = 1 OR moderator = 1’);
To:
$admins = spdb_table(SFMEMBERS, ‘admin = 1 OR moderator = 1 OR admin = 0’);
This tells the system that for the purposes of email notifications, all users qualify as admins or moderators. Just make sure the new topic notification is enabled for admins.
oh yeah… we know how to do it… and have posted similar fixes multiple times… for busy forum, could cost host issues…
