Weekly Email Notification was created by Ex-Member
Just received an email with the latest posts from the Forum.
It's a good idea in principle, but in practice it's just sent me a list of posts describing the issues we are having and a 'politically incorrect' joke. I don't believe it's the stuff we should be sending in a round robin email, esp the Joke and Cafe threads with their inevitable adult content.
So, in the short term I recommend we pull the facility until most of the snags we are having with the Forum are ironed out. Then in the longer term if the function is re-initiated, inhibit the Chat Room and Jokes Threads.

I can see your point on this Andy, and knew it was going to be sent out, but didnt know the content of email until I read it. As this is , I understand, only being sent to the complete list of members past and present , and is an attempt to maybe jog their memory that we DO still exist, and that a new site has been made out of the old one . It is certainly an easier way of contacting members who have not logged on to the site for a long time rather than my method of emailing each one independently, which 1 st didnt really work, and 2 nd took an awful long time

I also partially agree Andy and will be omitting certain threads for the email updates in future.
Today was the first one I have done and was mainly a test.

Thanks for the responses and I see no probs with what you're saying. I'd also like to reiterate that this is an observation and not a complaint, so I'll leave it to you 'mods' to sort out which way to go.

I know that it is constructive criticism Andy and I agree which is why the general chat area which includes the jokes thread and also the website issue are are now omitted from the mail shot.
As long as issues are posted in the issues thread, they wont be included.
However as a small plus point to the admin team. each issue in the email did have a snippet explaining that it was sorted haha!!
