 * What actually triggers a notification?
 * I ask as I would like to be able to add some posts to the forum without it triggering
   email notifications to our members.
 * Might adding a reply via the Dashboard not trigger a notification? Or could I
   turn notifications off for a period while adding a reply? But how?

 * Hi [@bobjgarrett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bobjgarrett/) , creating
   topics and replies from the front end will always trigger notifications based
   on the bbpnns settings. In order to create topics/replies without triggering 
   notifications, you can create them from the WP Admin, making sure that ‘Send 
   Notifications’ checkbox is unchecked, or unchecking the Subscription override
   options in the bbpnns settings screen.
 * Cheers,
   Vinny
