My Communities
Each time you login, you are taken to the
My Communities page, where you will see shortcuts to all the groups/communities that you currently own, or are a member of. This is where you can control what
email notifications you receive.
You can also Create a Community via the link towards the top left, in the My Communities view.
By default, members are subscribed to receive
Forum postings and
Alerts by email, for any groups they are a member of.
You can also elect to join the Mailing List by using the checkboxes
next to the name of each community you are a member of. N.B. Groups do not have a Mailing List by default - see Mailing Lists
What does email notification mean?
- Ticking the
Forum checkbox means you will be notified by email each time a new message is posted to the Forum.
- Ticking the
Alerts checkbox means you will be notified by email each time a new file is uploaded by a member to the Shared Files section. You will also receive email alerts whenever new Events, Photos or Links are approved, or when new Polls are created. See which features generate email
- Keeping the
checkboxes ticked, will save you having to go to the website each day to see if there is any new information in your community. The emails contain direct links to the new data, so save you time searching for it on the site, too.
- As well as individual members, Owners & Moderators also have rights to administer which members get Forum & Alerts mail, via the Members page.
