Special notices

 

Hello everyone,

Does anyone know how I can tell if a post actually went "special notice"? I did tick the box on the web posting interface. But it doesn't say anything about it when I look at activity.

Thanks.

It will be in your own "activity history" under your member page. It says "sent special message."
 

The message went but not as "special notice", I guess. I see My husband has digest and he didn't get it.?In Activity, the message only appears in Message Activity without any note about special notice, but not in Moderator Activity or Member Activity.?It could have got unticked by error.

Abut a couple of questions before I resend it -

If someone gets a digest, would they get a Special Notice message right away? I would assume so. It should override their delivery options and deliver the message immediately (or immediately as possible!)

I just recently changed my settings so that there was no "no mail" option. The two who had been "special notices only" got changed in the members list to "special notices only". Perhaps that isn't working.

Has anyone sent a Special Notice recently and noticed its behaviour? J_Catlady?

Thanks!

It's all working for me. To check (not using the log) if a special notice got sent, you can go into a special notices member and check their email delivery history. Yes, I sent a notice this morning. It hog logged thst way in my activity log and was received by a special notice member. Digest members would not receive it until the digest goes out. I haven't ?double checked that but I'm fairly sure.

Thanks.

I did look at the two ¡°special notice¡± members and they hadn¡¯t received anything. So either it became unticked by my error - I was writing instructions about using the site so I was opening parts of the site in different windows)

OR the members were never properly changed automatically to Special Notice when I blocked ¡°No Mail¡± subscriptions. It says they are ¡°special¡± but maybe they aren¡¯t¡­. Maybe still No Mail?

I just checked and my digest members received the special notice, too. So yours should have received it.

It sounds like you unticked it. I personally wish Groups.io would automatically append a "special notice" banner at the top of special notice messages. It would make things easier for the moderators and also provide an explanation to members of why they're getting a message when they're on digest of special notices. I might suggest it in beta.

Yes, I just checked that in my shalstest@.

It may also arrive in the digest, I won't know about that until later.

Good idea. Maybe also an automatically applied #hashtag in the subject line, such as the calender events have.

Shal,
I'll let you run with the ball if you want to suggest the combo on beta. ;)

Glad to hear that "special notice" preempts digest delivery choice. Yes, can you forward your suggestions to Mark on Beta? That would be super.?

Thanks, J_catlady and Shal.
