[mono-android] [MonoTouch] Introducing the Xamarin Forums

[Ryan Paul]

We've been working with Vanilla to improve a number of things, one of which is the amount of information that is included in e-mail notifications. You should start to see notifications include the full text of messages soon, if you aren't already. :-)

Do this like linkedin does where I get emails about what is happening with a lot of content.  Technically, linkedin doesn't give me enough content, but it gives me more than what I read below.  I like noisy forums!

From forums.xamarin.com (http://forums.xamarin.com), click the small "world" icon to the right of your login name ("Notifications" is the hover-text), then click Notification Preferences. You can then enable Email notifications for ALL threads and posts (including all replies!) in the Category Notifications section:

It's still useful, and it's still spamming my inbox, so I'm "happy" (I'd be happier with actual message content...). Plus, it makes the forums actually USEFUL to me, as I don't need to "poll" to see if threads I've replied to have gotten further responses.
