How to use Digests (daily/weekly emails of new posts)
Posted: Fri Dec 05, 2008 10:43 am
One of the major complaints regarding this new forum was that you had to connect to a web site to view the new posts. Well, I've addressed that by implementing "Digests", which provide an e-mail with the posts since you last visited the web site or since the last digest was sent. To very easy to set them up.
1) Connect to http://www.FreedomYachts.org
2) Log into the forum by clicking on "Login" under the Freedom logo.
Hint: If you've forgotten your password, click on "I forgot my password" under the password box.
Hint: Click on "Log me on automatically each visit" to get automatically logged in each time you visit.
3) Click on "User Control Panel" which is at the top, left-hand side of the page.
4) Click on the "Digests" tab, which right hand side of the User Control Panel.
5) Select the type of digest that you want (none, daily, weekly), the format (HTML is suggested) and what time you want it sent.
6) Modify any of the other options in the "Forum Selection", "Post Filters" and "Additional Criteria" and click "Submit" to save your changes.
Note that by default, all posts included within the digest are marked as read when the digest is sent. You can change this in the "Additional Criteria" section. Also note that you can specify if you want an index in the "Additional Criteria" section.
