Weekly Digest - new feature

[Jon]

I have installed an add-on that sends an email once a week listing the top 7 threads on this forum. If you do not wish to receive this email, please go to here on your own profile:

Alternatively, just click Unsubscribe when you get your first edition!

Any questions?

As you asked for questions...
Top 7 this week or all time? Why 7?

 

[Jon]

I did, and thank you for participating. Top 7 by I think it is view count for the previous 7 days. Why 7? I had to choose an amount. Not too many, not too much.

Question: How do you decide "top" ? Is it number of replies? Number of "likes"? Something else?

 

[Jon]

They take the most number of views. It is all automated.

 

[Jon]

Just to add, the digest gets sent out on Saturday morning, I believe.

 

[Jon]

Just received the Weekly Digest. For some reason, the top 2 entries are duds. Let's see if they appear next week too. If so, I will look into it.

 

[isladogs]

I'm subscribed which I think was the default but no email received as yet. Perhaps they will be staggered over several hours?

 

[Jon]

To be honest, I have no idea how it works. The addon notes just say that the emails get sent out on a Saturday.

 

[isladogs]

Just to confirm that no digest email arrived

 

[Gasman]

I can confirm that I have not received one either.?

 

[CJ_London]

nor me!

 

[NauticalGent]

No email for me...

 

[Uncle Gizmo]

Nor me "I Hate Software"

 

[Jon]

Oh dear, looks like I've got more troubleshooting to do. Nothings simple!

It could be something to do with SPF and DKIM settings which are about authenticating the source of the emails. I changed the DNS settings recently and I wonder if this has had an impact. I receive the email myself, but that doesn't really mean anything. I will add it to the list.

 

[Gasman]

Wouldn't it use the same settings as for the thread emails.?
I get those no problem.?

 

[Jon]

I'm not sure without looking at it. It uses a third-party addon while the thread emails uses the forum software.

 

[Jon]

Did anyone get the weekly digest today?
