Anybody out there?

If you got an email, could you reply? Thanks

Hello Steve,👍

Hi Steve, thanks for testing this out, Robert

I think we are getting closer to understanding this.

1. Did you Both get an email to let you know that there was a news update?
2. I added this blog to the Area News blog. If I had just edited the existing page rather than adding a blog to it, would that have the same effect?
3. Do members need to follow the blog or is it sufficient to just follow the area

Thanks for your help.

Hi John

The bell alert thing is the website messaging system. The intention is to also email all members as well to ensure that nobody misses any events.

It's a bit experimental at the moment!

Ultimately the Club Management wish to use this method so that costs associated with LoveAdmin can be lost.

Your feedback is valuable, many thanks.

Steve

Thanks Tony

The intention is to configure it so that an email is sent out to all members.

Until it's working properly we will continue to send emails from LoveAdmin as we do at present. We wouldn't want anyone to miss out on anything.

The Leadership Team is trying to prevent further expenditure on LoveAdmin, and this method on the new website may do the trick. Needs a bit more work though!

Thanks for spotting the message flag and for sending feedback, it's appreciated very much. 

All the best

Steve

Hello Steve,

thanks for trying this out. I get a notification when you post a new news (blog) item, but not when someone comments here (so I missed all of the above conversation until you alerted me to it).

As an aside… it is not just about cost for Love Admin. At some stage the current version will be expire, so we need to think ahead!

Hi Chris

Thanks for letting me know, we are just testing the new system at the moment.

Meanwhile we will continue to send notification of events via the existing email system to ensure that everyone knows what is going on.

There will be a meeting at the Scole Inn on the 1st April, it's already in the main club calendar https://www.caterhamlotus7.club/events and an email will be sent to everyone in about a weeks time. Hope to meet up soon.

All the best

Steve

The meeting is on the first Monday of the month as always. The date of the next meeting is 1st April.

I think that you enabled email notifications on the area by ticking the appropriate boxes. I can see that you had already "joined" the area and must have already "followed" the area too. Well done that man, we need to get all 92 members signed up that way, then we can migrate away from the clunky LoveAdmin system.

Thanks for the feedback.

Hi Terry

Thanks for letting me know, we are just testing the new system at the moment. Meanwhile we will continue to send notification of events via the existing email system to ensure that everyone knows what is going on.

I'm glad that the system is working ok and we will let everyone know well in advance if we start to use the new system for communication to members.

I'm also aware that folk in the north of the patch have a long way to travel to the meetings, this is a worry for me.

We need to arrange more events in North Norfolk too and are thinking about holding a picnic in the summer. Maybe meet up on Cromer Clifftop carpark or somewhere similar. If you have any thoughts, do let me know.

Meanwhile, a big thanks for your feedback, it is very much appreciated.

All the best

Steve
