Updates for forum threads should contain the actual message

Hi davidhq
 
Interesting point but one that will depend on whether the forum-related application (Lithium) will handle it.  So for that we need the input of our excellent Community Manager, guru in all things in this area...so @ one for you I believe.

I couldn't find a setting to turn that on, but I posted on the Lithium support forum to see if that is possible or not.

Thanks nic!

Ah good to know - I was looking for some global back-end setting to change 🙂

Oh, and should I make this the default for everyone?  Or just let those that want it turn it on?

It might be OK to make Subject+Bodthe default, but make sure we can still change it.  I suggest default as new members likely will not have gone into the settings.  They join, they post about the single question or problem.  Most users do not join with the intent of being active daily, though we  do our best to keep them once we have them.  They would have no interest in going into settings until they become more active.

Hi Nic
 
I would just leave it to each user's discretion.  We have this Thread with the info in it and therefore the OP has a solution to their 'issue' and we can advise future user questions re. this on the basis of this post.
 
Just my thoughts...as usual.

See the default? You have something on how to use the forum software for the Community don't you Post/Thread?

Great! I have set it, thank you.
 
I think the default should be subject + body because *a lot* of people who would prefer it this way (I believe almost everybody) won't be aware that's a setting... also they won't see this thread without really looking... they'll just think that's the way it is and will continue with their lives 🙂 Always secretly wishing the body of the message would be included in the emails.
