I have a small private site for my Knights of Columbus council and I really need our site to spam all posts and notifications to my users because most of my users are old and barely know how to text on their phones lol but they all want to receive emails from the newsfeed.

Thank you

This is not going to work for me.  For example if I or anyone post a forum topic, all my members  need to receive a email about it.

 I need the main newsfeed to email everyone. That would be perfect.

I realize this would be a lot of emails but we only have 35 members so no big deal.

thank you for your support

I found this looks like im not the only one: http://oxwall.uservoice.com/...ification-for-all-ac

Facebook does this and it really works and helps to hook you and link you back into the site. "User" uploaded a new photo..... 

My users don't want to have to log into the site every time to hunt for any new updates or posts.  A email notification would be nice

I would pay a developer for this one.  Thank you

This is a custom code modification. You need to hire a programmer to do that for you. You can do that here: http://www.oxwall.org/market/specialists


Also you can make a post in the custom code modification section of the forum. Probably some community member is already working on that or can assist you in implementing it.
