When I post topics in PHPBB or vBulletin forums, I have the option to subscribe to the topic, and I will get INSTANT email notifications on any replies.
can drupal do this?

now:
1) how can I get INSTANT email notifications for my forum topics and content posted on drupal.org
2) if possible, how can I have this functionality on my site.

...and (Currently, I have a website with a small amount of users and not a lot of new content) how can I get notified by email of ANY new users that registered.. and ANY new content on the website.

Guess i'm kind of looking for a trigger in the watchdog module that will send emails when certain events are logged.
(...maybe even an RSS feed of watchdog)

Am i asking too much?
Thanks

nothing yet.... Strange that this is not in Drupal by default (core)

the notify module will notify you on new content and you could set it up to mail you every hour

also i've set up an email to come to me each time someone submits a story so i can moderate it this uses the workflow and action modules, hope these suggestions help.

Yep, that's what I use too, but sometimes you want "instant" notification.
Notify module doesn't seem to have this option.

I found your question while looking for an answer to something else.

Check out the comment_notify module:

http://drupal.org/node/79980

As of right now there isn't a project page, but I assume that in the future this link will work:

http://drupal.org/project/comment_notify

Now only if there was a way for notify.module and comment_notify.module to ignore a user's own posts...

This is not a clean solution, but might work.

* Organic groups + mandatory group + then setup for all content for the mandatory group.

OG has email notification in build.

Interesting, will have a look. Thanks.

Still seems like a major workaround for something that should be very straightforward (i think)
