I want to know before I create a forum
Does IPB has rss feed or subscription to new topics?

I want that members get an email notification that the forum has received a new post with the subject title, if they are interested they can read it by visiting the forum.

Generally when you reply to the post you get subscribed to that thread which is fine but I want that all new post can be raed via RSS reader or sent via email.

You can subscribe to the forums you create on your board one by one you can not subscribe to the whole board....

So in my case I have 4 main categories.

Category1
1 forum

category 2
5 forums

category 3
10 forums

category 4
2 forums

So to subscribe members have to go to each of the forums in all the categories & opt for the subscription & then they will get all the instant email notification of all the new post in all the categories.
Right?

Yes....... that's about right.

another question, does the email contain the text of the post or just a notification with the subject head?

OK so now I have tried it out and I can tell you exactly how it works:

If you subscribe to a forum (as I mentioned if you have more forums on the board you have to subscribe to them one by one) you will get an email every time some one posts a new topic:

Quote:

Yourusername,

memberusername has just posted a new topic entitled "Topic title" in forum "Forum name!".

The topic can be found here:
http://forumname.#.forumer.com/index.php?showtopic=1083

Please note that if you wish to get email notification of any replies to this topic, you will have to click on the
"Track this Topic" link shown on the topic page, or by visiting the link below:
http://forumname.#.forumer.com/index...ack&f=1&t=1083

So as you can see, to get a notification about each post you will need to track the topic then you will get this:

Quote:

Yourusername,

Memberusername has just posted a reply to a topic that you have subscribed to titled "Topic title".

The topic can be found here:
http://forumname.#.forumer.com/index...iew=getnewpost

There may be more replies to this topic, but only 1 email is sent per board visit for each subscribed topic. This is
to limit the amount of mail that is sent to your inbox.

I'm sorry if I let you think something else in my previous reply, I haven't tried the feature before.

As you can see you will not get the post content in your email. Maybe it's possible to have a mod made but you would need to ask (request a mod) at fMods.
