Do you support instant notification / message digest (subscription)?

 Yes. You can configure the feature on a per-forum basis to allow:

• Subscribe to thread
• Subscribe to forum
• Both

Your members can click on the "subscribe" link to track forums or topics, and can also subscribe when posting a message (a check box is available).
 
Then, once there is a new message posted on the forum, subscribers will get notified instantly via e-mail. As the admin of the forum, you will have the ability to format the notification message, for example, decide whether to include the message body or not, whether to include the title or not, etc. We have detailed help file in the admin panel to help you with the formatting.

The thread subscription feature in our software also works as a bookmark system. What this means is that if you no longer want to receive message notification on a particular thread, you can choose "Don't Get Email Notification" to stop notification for this message instantly without deleting the subscription. It then functions like a browser's bookmark system that you can always come back to the thread you like with a mouse click.

On a super busy forum, subscription can sometimes cause problems because your mail box can get flooded by the emails sent by the forum software (e.g. if you subscribe to a forum that receives 300 messages everyday). To prevent this problem, as a member, you can go to your forum profile interface and change your subscription preference:

For Forum subscription preference, choose either
Notify me whenever a message is posted
OR
Notify me only when a new topic is posted

For Thread subscription preference, choose either
Notify me whenever a message is posted
OR
Notify me once per thread until I visit the thread again

In addition to these features, your member can also choose to receive only Daily Digest or Weekly Digest for the subscribed threads/forums to further reduce the amount of emails they receive.
