Hi Rich
Awsome web site . we will be going back to coal this year we are looking at different systems . I went to oil in one shop and gas in the other but its killing me to heat the shop well over 6000 a year . Its almost pittafull that 5 years ago in the one shop it only cost us 1200.00 and we stayed warm.Again great site my son is going to enjoy it . he just did a report and went on a school trip .
Thanks for the link . thumbsup.gifQuote:Quote:That’s what I do. I run through my email and the sites a couple times a day and see what I missed. I’ve decided to send out a mass email (which will go to everyone) telling them about this feature and asking them to reply whether or not they want me to activate it for them.Be careful how you use that button, it can be construed as spam nad all it takes is one person to report it as spam to your host. If you want to set up a amiling list create a new open group that users can subscribe to.
@prostreet, Hello from Wilkes-Barre. wave.gif
That’s a good point coalman. What would happen if someone reported that as spam to the host? Would the forum be shut down or something? Once I create the usergroup and move users into it how do I email everyone in that group? Just use the mass email feature and select only that group?
Well depending on their policy’s they could go as far as canceling your account requiring you to find a new server. Most hosts have a zero tolerance towards spamming and any inclination on their part that you have usually results in cancellation. Remember any unsolicited e-mail can be considered spam.
As far as the usergroup you set up a usergroup and call it the Wisconsin Car Collector Newsletter” or whatever and make it an open group that anyone can join. You don’t move anyone into it but make them aware that it’s there and what it’s for which would be an occasional newsletter from yourself. You can use the mass e-mail function by just selecting the newsletter group so only they receive it.

That sounds good. Its always better to be safe than sorry!!

That is essentially what this would be, it would notify you whenever someone relies to a topic. It wouldn’t keep sending you emails if for instance say 3 people posted, just the first one. Then after you visit and see the topic and maybe post a reply it will notify you again. As far as new threads you wouldn’t get any notification but that is just what you could do when you browse the forum each day. Also on the main forum index on the top right there is a link for “View Posts Since Last Visit” that you can use too:
http://www.wiscollectorcar.com/forum/search.php?search_id=newposts
Personally I just find it easier to browse the forum. Is that sort of setup what you were thinking?Quote:It’ll work as a reminder for people that haven’t logged in in a couple months.Exactly. I’ve already sent the emails but like coalman said you have to be careful of people reporting it as spam. But as far as activating the feature I’ll probably have to wait from confirmation from the users before doing it.
HpDog you’re all set, you will recieve replys to topics now. icon_wink.gif
I haven’t been around for awhile, but you might consider a banner to display at any events you attend. At least that way you may get the attention of a few more car collectors. (As opposed to junk collectors like myself) Getting links added to a few other car type sites could help this site grow also. But I wouldn’t worry about trying to grow too fast, some things take time and it looks you are moving along at a good pace. I would think that running a fourm is like raising kids, alot more fun when very young and uncontrolable when they get bigger! icon_cheesygrin.gif

What type of banner were you thinking for the show, just something we could have sitting next to the cars or something? If anyone is skilled with photoshop and would like to give it a go more power to ya!! thumbsup.gif I was thinking of doing something like shirts we could wear to the show about the site but that might look stupid and people can’t remember a url anyway. We’d have to have like flyers along with the banner. A good way to advertise at the shows would be to say that we have a complete list of events in Wisconsin, something that people really would like to find.
Also do you have any recommendations on how to find other car sites or what other ones would be good to add? I’ve added the link to several of them, its just hard finding other good ones.
I think the site is growing nicely and we have a great userbase here!! icon_cheesygrin.gif Everyone give each other a virtual pat on the back!!! Drogar-BigGrin(LBG).gif
