Forums message summary tool ready for use
« on: November 12, 2007, 10:01:13 PM »
Hi Folks,

Starting today, an automated tool will check the FVEAA Forums for new messages and send a summary email to our [fveaa] listserve.  If no new messages are found, no email will be sent.  i have initially set the tool to run every 12 hours (around 6am and 6pm, so "morning readers" can see "night posters" messages and visa versa).

For each new message found, there will be two lines in the summary email:

poster, date, category, board
CLICKABLE_SUBJECT_LINE_LINK

You can click on the subject line in your email program and it will launch your web browser to display the new message.  You need to be logged into the Forums to be able to read the message.  Once viewing the Forums message, replying is just a single click away (Reply button on top right).

Hopefully this new summary will help increase the traffic on the Forums (and decrease it on [fveaa]), and result in more organized and useful information for all of us FVEAA members!

Please let me know your comments/suggestions/issues for future improvements.

Kind regards,
ted
