Site Forum

I turned off email when I started here. Don't need them. New feature on what specific transaction input has been done is a great addition...thanks. 

My inbox is already packed with messages so I just visit the site and see if the little envelope is by my name. 

Maybe have different frequency options. Some may want no email. Others hourly, daily, weekly.

That's something that I agree with.

A daily transaction digest would be good instead of an email every time a transaction was updated.

It seems some want emails and some do not. Could there be a drop down option of how often, or not al all, to receive emails. Just like the filter on how long it has been since a member has logged.

Reading through the comments on this thread, it makes me think that we need an alacarte for the types of emails we receive:

If there was a radial button that I could turn certain emails on and off, I would check the following to receive:  New Transaction Proposals, Transaction Messages, Counter Offers and Transaction Accepted. as these require action on my part.

If I could turn certain emails off, I would turn off, Package Sent, Package Received, and Transaction Completed along with New Feedback received. These are more of a heads-up email that I can view on the transaction page.  I also use the message notifications tab for feedback left and feedback that I need to give.

While this would work best for me this would enable users to customize the emails they receive as well. 

Just a thought...

I would be in favor of one email a day with a summary of all of the messages I received that day.  Or even something that just said, "you have new messages" that would prompt me to go to the site and check things out.

I'm all for a 'daily digest' instead of separate notifications of each message or notification.  Even if is a simple "you have new messages or notifications at TCDB" message.  I've got to go into the messaging system to mark the messages and notifications as read anyway, I don't need all the details in the email.

This is similar to what Sportlots does - if you have any new messages at a certain point overnight (not sure on the timing), you get an email at that time saying you have unread messages. I'd prefer a "timer-based" system as opposed to the "if you have any unread messages at a specific time" system. If it's been 24 hours, send me a message. If the message was sent at 2:58 am and the emails go out at 3:00 am, that's useless to me (which is how Sportlots works - just not sure of the time).

I have emails disabled in all sections. Like others, I just check for the envelope or bell when I visit the site.
