[PSA] Mass Email and Notification Settings!

[HoTWire]

That's Public Service Announcement for those of you not down with the lingo.

So as a you may have noticed we sent an email to pretty much everyone on the forum, we're aware that not every likes this and fully understand if you don't want to receive the mail (we already try to only use mass emails once or twice a year). If you want to change these settings go to Profile in the menu up there ^^, click on the Edit Profile button on the right hand side, then click the Notifications tab. At the bottom is the Mass Emails check box to uncheck if you don't want the occasional email from us.

BUT WAIT!

In there you'll also find the option to receive emails for various reason, including if someone quotes you in a post, a book marked thread is updated, if someone tags you ( username for those that don't know how to do that ) and a whole bunch of other things. I knew Proboards were working on it, but I didn't realise it was out and live, could be v.useful.

I still can't work out that username tagging! Can you only do it from the desktop site?

I thought the email was a really good touch, you need to get a banner on there though

[HoTWire]

Thanks, I've only had two sweary emails so far demanding to know how I got their email addresses ... I'm sure more will arrive.

Ryannn : putting the at @ sign in front of user names tags people. However some people like you and me don't have a display name that matches their user name I'm (at)admin for example.

Did you check your junk folder? thats where I found the email on my phone

Not that that should be a reflection on the content of said email of course

Certainly nothing in my mailbox, Junk or otherwise.

Yup - In junk..

[HoTWire]

Some people may not have it yet as it goes out in a staggered manner thanks to the volume of emails being sent. Also yes we occasionally (often!?) end up in Junk, which is a shame, but there doesn't seem too much we can do about it

I don't get the option on my mobile to 'Wait, it's safe' but I will do when I get home.

I have no problem getting emails all the while it's content is relevant. I have no idea how long I've been a member on here but I have yet to see anything particularly irrelevant anywhere on the whole forum.

Top job by mods & admin I assume.
