 * I would like to see the option to notify custom user roles. Currently, even after
   creating a custom user role, you cannot make an option to notify them.
 * Regarding “Notifications about new topics are sent to” option.
 * Respond as soon as possible. All help is appreciated.

 * I too was looking for this functionality.
 * In the end I modified the plugin so that it added the custom role(s) of my choice.
 * With a little knowledge it was not too difficult.
 * Remember you need to add the custom role to both new topic and replies I added…
 * Step 1 – added custom role to the arrays $newsettings_newtopic and $newsettings_newreply
 * Step 2 – added new case statement for the custom roles to function function notify_new_topic
   and function notify_new_relpy
 * Step 3 – Added another case statement for the custom role to function _topic_recipients_inputfield()
   and function _reply_recipients_inputfield()
 * Hope this helps!!!

 * Hi Sirenum, can you put the code for s2Member levels into a pastebin for us to
   use?
