after much struggle i think I have found how to allow moderators to get emails of each post.

 

Go to USERS, pick a moderator, scroll down, and see this:

Receive email notification of comments to all posts, regardless of post author

That gives them email notifications of blog post comments by the sound of things. Your forum moderator can sign up for email notifications of FORUM posts the same way you do/did. Forum Admin > Manage Admins > Your Admin Options.

Mary is in here and it is getting confusing to know who is responding to what… I will start a new post on this as we are having a lot of trouble getting moderators to get post notifications

Hi, is it still the case that a moderator needs to change their ‘receive notifications’ status themselves, or can I as an administrator myself do it for them – thanks

You can set it for ALL moderators at once if the settings are to be the same for them all. Otherwise they will need to visit the Your Admin Options panel individually.

That’s fine for me. I’ve ticked the box that says ‘Grant all moderators the same option settings as above’. When I hit save, the tick disappears. Is that supposed to happen? Have the mod settings updated?

Yes they have. It disappears so you can reset if you want it but they have been modified.
