Hi,how is it possible to setup a Discussion Board in which the person that initially started the discussion is notified automatically when someone responds to his/her discussion?The first issue here is, that I don't see an option to have an automatic Email notification setup for a user. I think SharePoint only provides a method to let users setup their Notifications. I need something, so that for the user which started the discussion the Email notification is setup automatically.The second problem I have with Email notifications is, that if a user creates a notification rule that says notify me, as soon as someone else changes an item created by me, that by SharePoint responses are not recognized as "changes".How can I solve these issues? Are there third-party tools that might provide a solution?

It seems a little short sigted that an automatic alert feature isn't included in a SharePoint discussion list.

This what I did in SPD and it's not working: Condition: If Content Type equals Message Actions: Email Discussion Board:Created By No email sent out. What did I do wrong here?

I am having the same problem. Did you get any solution.
