Feature Request

First off, YaBB SE is Awesome!  But I have one minor (I think) feature request for the next version.

It would be really cool if you could add in a mailing list feature.  Right now I can blast all users, but I would also like the option to have users unsubscribe from the list but still be able to access the forum.  It would also be nice if there was a way that a user could go to a url that would auto remove them from the mailing list (maybe it could use the users e-mail address as the reference to unsubscribe.)  This way you could code a 'Unsubscribe' link into the newsletter to make the end users life easier.

Does this make sense?  Does anyone else see a value in this?  In essence I would like to condense my mailing list server and forum server into one.  Can this be done?

Thanks all!

another great idea...   intergrating YaBB into your website even more.

Hmmm...

YaBB SE is a forum - not a mailing list.

The bulk mail facility is only for occasional usage - announcement boards are better.

As a mod - yes. But as a YaBB SE developer I can tell you that other things take priority at the moment.

It shouldn't be so hard to fix as a mod to the board. Just make a PHP script that reads from the MySQL DB and add a column in the table to mark which users that don't want the mail.

Personally I think it is a valuable feature - as it would enable us to pull traffic from email-based communities such as yahoogroups.

While I know I intend to include that functionality, I agree - other things do take precedent.
