When posting to the Bird Sightings and Alerts forum (either a new topic or reply) you will see a tab "Group notice" under the Save/Preview/Submit buttons, like this:
- groupnotice.jpg (56.77 KiB) Viewed 1489 times
This form gives you some options regarding the sending of your post by email.
The default for
new posts is for the post to be emailed to BIRDING-NZ and members of the Email alerts group.
The default for
reply and
edit posts is for the post to not be emailed to the groups.
You can, if you like, change these by selecting or deselecting the check-boxes as appropriate. Note that using the preview feature will reset these to defaults, so you need to change them again before submitting your message.
Why would you want to change the defaults? Perhaps you are making an important reply or edit of a post (so you might want to send a notice), or perhaps the information being posted was originally from BIRDING-NZ (so you don't want to double post it there). You have the choice, please use it wisely.
If you want to give the email a different subject line to the subject of the post, enter it after "Subject line for notice".
If you want to add an extra message that will appear in the email before the message text, enter it after "Message for notice".
You can also select whether the BirdingNZ.net signature, or your own signature line (set in the User Control Panel) is added to the bottom of the email message.
Neil.
