Solivagus Posted September 2, 2004 Report Posted September 2, 2004 On the email options it has a box to check to allow you to get emails when the board admins update the boards. I was just wondering what this actually meant. Is it when an admin changes the rules for a board? When they move a post from one to the other? When new boards are created? Or does it mean something else that we can't think of?
Yui-chan Posted September 2, 2004 Report Posted September 2, 2004 Solivagus and Vanessa, Send me any updates sent by the board administrator. Enabling this option will add your email address to the administrators mail list and you will receive any updates sent. Don't worry. This isn't going to send you an email every time the administrator makes a post or moves a thread. This option just ensures that you will receive the mass-mail announcements that administrators can send in the board controls. (Things like "Bingo night at Ozymandias' house! Friday at 8pm! BYOB and don't forget the cheese dip!" or, more realistically, "Please be advized that the Mighty Pen website will be down on September X for x hours due to routine server maintenance.") To the best of my knowledge, we have never used that option, and we even go so far as to keep our list of member email addresses manually rather than rely on the board. Granted, you wouldn't know that because we send out mass mails once every other blue moon. I wouldn't worry too much about it. The Pen really tries not to accost anyone's innocent email inboxes unless the end of the world is nigh. The Answer Wiz, :wizzie: ~Yui
