Question 3: I don't understand these subscription options. Kindly explain.
Subscriptions are meant to be personal. You should have the power to control when subscription notifications are sent to you e.g. instantly, once daily, once weekly etc. Now you can do exactly that with PW 3.0 !
To subscribe to a topic:
1- Login with your username/password
2- Go to any topic and click the Subscribe button at the top:
3- You will be taken to the following screen:
Now you can choose whether you want:
"Instant notification" - get a mail as soon as a reply is posted
"Daily updates by Email" - get a mail at the end of the day with all the new posts on the thread
"Weekly updates by Email" - get a mail at the end of the week
You can also change your existing subscriptions with ease:
- Go to My PakWheels > List Subscriptions (left bar):
OR just click "View All Subscriptions" on the landing page of My PakWheels:
2- The following page will open:
3- Select a topic by selecting the check box on the right
4- Click on the "Selected threads" drop down at the bottom and select your option
5- Press Go and that's it!
You can also set your preferences so that you automatically subscribe to a topic whenever you post/reply i.e. no need to subscribe separately.
1- Login and Go to My PakWheels
2- Click on Edit Options on the left bar:
3- Scroll down and find the Default subscription Mode section under "Messaging and Notification":
Select the auto-setting that you want and then you'll be notified about progress on all threads you have posted/replied on.
