email notification when a user submits a new post to the forum #13

Closed yourcelf closed 9 years ago

users are all submitting their questions multiple times. We should give them a flash notification and also send them an email notification. Here's what the text of that email should be:

Hi,

Thank you for submitting a question to our forum.

To maintain the utmost quality of our site, all questions must first be approved by our administrator. If you don't see your question on the site yet, it's because we haven't reviewed it yet. We will get to it as soon as possible.

Also, if you have asked us about your "chances of getting in" anywhere, be aware that this is a very complex answer that we can't handle on the forum. Instead, we invite you to submit all of your application information, and we will have a former admissions officer (ideally from your top choice school) provide you a full evaluation. For more information, check out our products.

If you have any questions or concerns in the meantime, don't hesitate to reply to this email or make a new post to AboutAdmissions.com.

It looks like a notification is generated that flashes briefly and disappears. Additionally, we need some kind of loading indicator when clicking "Submit", since it takes several seconds before the posting is made.

This is addressed by workarounds that prevent notifications from being removed on the post_page or post_page_with_slug routes.
