Why your forum is not so active?

[Bernard Lama]

I was just wondering why my main forum and other group forums are not so active? When you participate in any discussion in Ning Creators forum, it will automatically follow you. Where as in our network we have to click "follow" manually after replying in a thread.

Is there anyway to set auto follow?

[Debby de Wilde]

There is, cause I have seen it in other networks. Let me see if I can reach that person and ask.

[Bernard Lama]

Yes we can set it via individual profile setting but still it's not auto.

[Eric Suesz]

You should automatically be following a discussion when you reply in it. Are you sure that it isn't working that way for you? Have you contacted our support team to test this? This doesn't sound right to me. 

[Debby de Wilde]

Not here either. We do not follow unless we check that box in the discussion. The only discussions we automatically follow are the ones we started ourselves.

This is a screen shot of the info underneath the comment box.

I think this is because you have turned this off, Debby: 

[Debby de Wilde]

Okay, that makes sense. 

BUT..... (ha, here we go...)

When I am on http://enmarc.ning.com/ and comment either in the gallery or in their forum I am automatically following. And I did NOT had to check anything for that. 

[Debby de Wilde]

So that would mean that their NC did it for me? 

[Eric Suesz]

No. I think this is working as expected. You are set to get email notifications when people respond on that network: 

Each profile you have has its own settings per network. So, they can be different. Note that NCs don't have the ability to change this for you. The default setting is on (that box is checked by default for all new members). 

[Debby de Wilde]

Cool. Thanks Eric! 

[Bernard Lama]

That Eric,

Yeah it not working that way for me. And I have not submitted a ticket yet.
