We have various master forum categories, to which our admin team are subscribed (using the "Forum Category Subscribed List" in the Settings tab of the category node.
However no emails get sent when a user posts a new topic to any of the categories. Individual Topic subscriptions work fine, but not for the category subscriptions entered in the Umbraco front-end.
a slight problem is remaining...when the notification email comes through to admin about a new topic the email contains an incorrect link to the topic. It links back to the create topic page, rather than the new topic. Also the "New post in..." wording is using the new topic title, rather than the parent category title
This was the body of the email notification (edited for clarity)
Forum category subscriptions not working
Using umbraco v 4.7.1.1 with nForum 1.5 on IIS 7.
We have various master forum categories, to which our admin team are subscribed (using the "Forum Category Subscribed List" in the Settings tab of the category node.

Any clues or suggestions?

It wasn't implemented yet in 1.5.
I made a patch version which does just that. Can be found here:

Hi, thanks Yannick,
a slight problem is remaining...when the notification email comes through to admin about a new topic the email contains an incorrect link to the topic.
