      You should also move around the UI to check that it behaves as expected. Pay particular notice to:

      • the discussion list - you should be able to toggle the discussion subscription from the discussions and have them update from one to other
      • writing a new post - this displays information about your current subscription. It also defaults to subscribing you to the discussion when you post any message to that discussion

      I am finding that my inbox is absolutely flooded with unwanted moodle mails off the forum script. This is very annoying and I know it will similarly annoy my users. In fact it will put them off the system.

      The problem arises because unlike other discussion boards moodle messages are emailed to me from the entire forum, not just the thread I have started or responded to. The overwhelming of people's inboxes is a serious business: it could be said that moodle is generating spam because the email feature is so unfocused.

      Is there any chance this is going to be improved please?
