This week, we’re turning on Email Digests here on the 12160 Network.

How to turn it on

• Navigate to the Email section of your Settings, which you will find on your own profile page.

• Check the box next to “Daily” to start receiving Email Digests. You'll see this choice right at the top of the page.

That’s it. You’ll now receive a digest that summarizes the discussions you’re following instead of receiving email notifications every time someone responds in a discussion.

A few details to keep in mind about this beta:

• Most emails you currently receive will be rolled up and sent to you once per day in an Email Digest email.

• The Email Digest is a quick summary with links, similar in some ways to a Linked In style digest. All reply notifications and Group activity will be included.

• A few types of messages will not be included, in particular Broadcast Messages, private messages, and some lesser-used notifications (e.g., an error message if a video upload fails).

• Which notifications we include or exclude may change based on our testing and the feedback we receive.

• This Digest will not be a digest of general activity on the network. That could happen down the road, but it won’t be in this initial release.
