How do I send an email to all of the subscribers in my forum.

If I have announcements for my forum, how do I send an email message to all the subscribers to let them know?

If you have an announcements forum or sub-forum (i.e. one where you have set the user permissions so only the forum administrator may post) then you just post in that forum or sub-forum and it will go to all subscribers.

As mentioned in your other topic, people join forums to avoid receiving emails and to retain control of when they make use of the forum. It would normally be regarded as spamming to send emails to all users of a forum. That's why there is subscription facility - to allow people to say they are prepared to accept emails.

However, it is easy enough for any forum administrator to email all users. Simply go to: Options > Users > Manage users and groups, select the required group and copy all users listed there and paste them into the To: field of your email program.

Probably, the only justifiable reason for taking this action would be to warn users that the forum was closing down or moving to a new address and certainly not to say how you've made this incredibly interesting post which they can find on your forum.
