SMF provides notification options that may prove useful to many members. In addition to the options available below, a member may choose to be notified instantly, daily, or weekly about replies, moderation actions, or both in topics for which they have requested notifications.

• Receive forum newsletters, announcements and important notifications by email. - Newsletters, announcements, and other notifications will be delivered to the member's email. Even if this option is disabled, forum administrators are able to override it in some instances.
• Turn notification on when you post or reply to a topic. - When a member posts a new topic or replies to an existing topic, notification for that topic will be turned on automatically when this option is enabled.
• When sending notification of a reply to a topic, send the post in the email (but please don't reply to these emails.) - Email notifications will include the contents of the posts. These emails should not be responded to.

A member may also see lists of the topics and boards for which they have requested notification. If desired, they may turn notification off for some or all of them.
