Now if we could just figure out a way to redirect users from the Avion FB groups to here. Those groups are active pretty much everyday with some good posts too. Problem is it's a one and done format, but that instant feed is what people seem to like.

I installed a mod so that Notifications about replies are now ON by default. Unfortunately, this change can only apply to new users. Keep the suggestions coming!

This is a good argument to make this default, and then opt out of a thread if you’d like.
Right? We want more engagement and activity here, perhaps a little hand holding wouldn’t be horrible. I know I could use it...

It's under Board Preferences, and then under Edit Posting Defaults.

Nothing yet, though there have been posts to threads I’ve posted on... I’ll dig around some more to see if I missed something.

Appreciate the feedback. Let's see if those notifications are working for you now.

I went in to my UCP as suggested and clicked all the boxes so we'll see how that works.

I navigate the site through either “new” or “active” topics.

My thought is that if the preferences are set by default to get notifications, that may get more people back, or at least remind them.

I don’t Facebook so...

Thanks gang for the work you do on this site, I really value it.

BTW have you tried the Active Topics or Unanswered Topics Link?

That's a good point and there may be a way to change the default setting. As Nralifer said, however, it's under Board Preferences, but within Posting Defaults. There's an option there to turn notifications on.

Please share any more ideas about how to increase interactions. Facebook is obviously a great medium for that, but it lacks the organization that a forum has. It's too bad the forum can't behave more like Facebook with regard to tagging, notifications, etc. I imagine there may be forums with these capabilities out there, but then cost becomes an issue, and as it stands costs associated with this site already aren't being met.
