Should I turn it on for everyone or just new members? Or do you like it the way it is, where you have to opt-in to receive the notification email? — Site dude - S3 Agent #202 Need help with the site?

Sorry Brian didn't focus on this one , it illuded me somehow. My feeling is that it should be ON by default and once receiving any notification then one could , if they choose, OPT OUT. — The mighty KAHUNATONES Don't Fear the Reverb ! Grateful Surf !

Syndicateofsurf Joined: Oct 08, 2014 Posts: 1073 Northern Ohio	Posted on Jul 17 2015 11:03 AM Thought it was on automatically. As the lowest common denominator for info/tech stuff I'll testify that however it worked, worked. Oh, and I bothered Brian a whole bunch. Maybe we should avoid doing that.

Brian Joined: Feb 25, 2006 Posts: 19286 Des Moines, Iowa, USA	Posted on Jul 22 2015 08:22 PM So 3, maybe 4, want this turned on for everyone. No one else seems to care. Now if we had done this in the beginning it would probably be okay. But I just feel weird changing the settings of 8,610 people because 3 or 4 people are having trouble contacting people who aren't very active on the site anyway. I'll still think about it and leave this open for discussion. — Site dude - S3 Agent #202 Need help with the site?

DoNtFearTheReverbBass Joined: May 24, 2008 Posts: 422 Land Locked CINCINNATI OH	Posted on Jul 22 2015 09:01 PM Aloha Brian: I know it seems weird. But I don't think that the folks I have been trying to contact are all that inactive. They were responding to the Jam for members thread. I spoke with Guy Moore this evening and asked him about if he knew he could switch nitifications ON and he said he didn't know any thing about it. He also said he did not know of this particular thread. Maybe some know now, and I posted in the jam thread about turning this feature ON. I had most of my people respond after that post happened and the rest after I posted a list of people I had left PMs for. I personally believe the PM is a valuable part of the SURF GUITAR 101 experience. I know response looks week but it is a percentage representation (according to stats used in advertising ) so each one of these votes are worth hundreds at least. Telling people it exists would work but a lot of folks don't even know of this thread. We all get on with different agendas, interests and time schedules. Thanks for listening.

Ariel Joined: Aug 29, 2009 Posts: 1556 Israel	Posted on Jul 23 2015 02:10 AM Brian, don't fret about anyone weirding out, it's common practice. ON. If someone has already registered to the site, it can't be considered intrusive. Also, conveniently allows for automatic personal archiving. BTW, the PM system make this site a lot bigger than what appears to the naked eye. Lots of deals and personal interaction, help given and received. I'm very grateful.

Badger Joined: Nov 16, 2013 Posts: 4536 Wisconsin	Posted on Jul 23 2015 06:46 AM One thing folks need to keep in mind is that, if they are getting their PM's and reading them via their email client, they still need to come back in to the PM area on the site and do housekeeping on their Private Messages. Not doing that causes: "Hey I PM'd you but your inbox was full" type stuff. I'd prefer to leave the options to the user, default=OFF; but then it doesn't bother me to take 30 seconds or a minute to setup a profile or check/uncheck a box. It's a user-level preference that, frankly, I don't think a site manager should need to be bothered with. YMMV. So does that count, statistically, as 100 votes for leaving it up to the user? — Wes SoCal ex-pat with a snow shovel DISCLAIMER: The above is opinion/suggestion only & should not be used for mission planning/navigation, tweaking of instruments, beverage selection, or wardrobe choices.

ALWAYS side with IT- Krikey, anyone reading this thread should get the idea "Oh, that's something I can do my own self!". Imagine these people trying to upload a picture or (gasp) a link.
