Coming up: emailed newsletters

Many of you "old timers" will remember that we used to email out the daily DG newsletter, and that we stopped mailing it out several years ago.

I'm please to say that we're preparing a solution to be able to email out the newsletter again, and in a couple weeks we will begin to send out the newsletter via email.

I'm planning at least a weekly newsletter which will be much nicer than the current newsletter.

To subscribe to the newsletter, go to "My Info" then Preferences and you'll see the checkbox. Check off the box for the newsletter and save the page and you will then be subscribed and will receive the newsletter once we start sending it.

Just to see if I have this straight.

Is this a DG newsletter, or is it a combination of DG, PF, BF etc.?

This weekly newsletter will come email, but we can still get the daily news online like always? That one won't be emailed to us, right?

The daily newsletter you've been seeing on the DG website will continue as is.

The new newsletter will be a combined newsletter, covering all of DG. It'll be nice. :)

Thanks Dave! This is exciting. I don't make it to all areas of DG anymore, so it'll be great to see what's going on in those other areas.

Oh, Thanks .... I'm going to sign up right now!

How do I sign up for it??

Thanks Elaine

Me, toooo! Very nice, Dave! I enjoyed seeing the numbers--really brings to light how big we really are, yet we retain a close-knit community feel. Incredible.

Got my copy today and really like it. The statistics are interesting. Thank you, Dave.

I really like it too, but when I tried to click on the links to "continue reading", instead of using foxfire which is my default browser, it tried to open IE and said invalid address. Not sure if it is a glitch or just me, but wanted to pass it on.


Edited to say, never mind. LOL I was just reading some other posts and see that the glitch has been noted and corrected. :~)

Riverland--does the system have your correct email address? If your email addy is outdated then maybe that's why you didn't get it.

Thanks I found it in the junk mail. How dare they put my most important mail in the junk pile.LOL

I've checked my email and junk mail and haven't seen it..My email address looks ok in DG so I'm not sure what has happened?It shows I'm subscribed and everything.

Could your email provider maybe have blocked it as spam? Sometimes you have to go in and tell your email to accept things from a certain address, otherwise some filters think it's spam and block it before you even know it was there. Some will put it in a junk mail folder where you can retrieve it if you want to, but some won't let it through at all.

teacup754, you are using AOL and they do not accept email from us. Try as I might, there's just nothing for it. AOL does not accept mail from DG... I recommend people using AOL should sign up for a free email account at gmail.com.

I would never trust a company like AOL with something as important as email...

Dave, I now have changed my email account to a gmail account. Any hope of getting the newletter you just sent out to everyone else sent to me so I can see if it works? thanks nancy

Nancy,

I sent it to you. Let me know if you didn't receive it.

best,
dave

Thanks Dave, I got it just fine, Thanks!!

Maybe you can add a small notation warning folks about the aol problem when they try to sign up.

Thank you Dave, I am now signed up for it. I was really missing my daily email from you, im glad i can get it again.

somany changes lately, it will take me a while to catch up with all that you have done,

cheers
