We have recently added some new features related to our Forums and some members may be getting more emails from the website. Here is some information on how you can control the emails that you receive that result from Forum Posts.
There are two types of emails associated with forum posts – Individual Emails are sent with each post or reply. Digests, are sent periodically and contain all forum posts and replies since the last Digest that was sent.
By default, new Members and Internet Subscribers are setup to be subscribed to all forums. If you are subscribed to a forum, you will receive an email for each new post or reply.
Limiting Individual Forum Emails
You can change which individual emails that you have signed up for by logging into the website and following the steps below. You can also change the frequency that you receive digests.
- Click on your name on the left-hand side of the page under MEMBER LOGIN. That will bring up your Profile Page.
Click on Subscriptions on the left side of your profile page - On the left side of your profile page, just below the Avatar or Picture, click on “Subscriptions”
Unsubscribe from individual forum emails - If you do not want to receive emails for every new post in a forum, you can click on the pink box with the X in it next to the Forum name to unsubscribe from that forum. We recommend you do not unsubscribe from the General Information Forum as that is where we send information about our meetings and events and those may be time-critical. We also recommend that members do not unsubscribe from the Members Forum for the same reason.
Edit your digest settings - Digests are enabled by default to go out Daily and will include a summary with links to the day’s posts for our Forums. To change the digest frequency, click on “Edit” just below where you clicked on “Subscriptions”. Under Forum Digest Preferences, you can change the Digest Frequency from Daily to Weekly or Monthly. When you are done, you should scroll to the bottom and click on the green rectangle that says “Update Profile”.
Re-subscribe to individual forum post emails - If you want to re-subscribe to a forum that you deleted, start by going to the Forums Menu (On the black bar where you see About Us, Our Activities, etc.). Select Forums and then select the forum that you want to re-subscribe to from the drop-down that appears. This will bring up the Forum page for that forum. Just below the Green Rectangle that says “Mark All Topics” you will see a link that says “Subscribe”. You can click on the word Subscribe to re-subscribe to the forum. You will see the word “Subscribe” change to “Unsubscribe”.
Help and Suggestions Forum
