Hi Alex:Sorry to be slow about responding. Here's the script I wrote. Here's how you use it:1) Put it in Repository > Data Dictionary > Scripts2) Find the site for which you wish to have the forum send out notifications in Repository > Sites 3) Click Manage Rules for the discussions folder within your site (e.g. Repository > Sites > Foo > discussions)4) Create a new rule, which runs when Items are created or enter this folder, for All Items, performing action Execute Script (selecting this script), with it set to Rule applies to subfolders and Run rule in backgroundYou should be good to go–all users of the site will get notified in email whenever someone posts in the forum.Please do feel free to let me know if you find any bugs/make any improvements, but I can't promise to provide any support (or take any responsibility) if it doesn't work right.Hope this is useful!Ian
