three new golo e-mail preferences

Published Jun. 25, 2008


Good morning GOLO:.


We've added a few new e-mail preferences that will enable you to better manage your GOLO life and keep tabs on any activity on your profile page and blogposts as well as activity within your GOLO GROUPS.
They are:

  • E-mail me when new comments are posted on my profile of blog posts.
  • E-mail me when new blog posts or image galleries are posted in my groups
  • E-mail me when new comments are posted in my groups.

We know that comments can come at lightning speed so the second setting mentioned will be the ONLY preference checked by default.

If you'd like to receive notification about new comments on your profile, blogposts or within your groups, go to your profile page, select "edit profile" and check the boxes indicating the preferences you'd like to change. 


We hope you'll take advantage of these new tools and send us feedback along the way.

Enjoy!


-Angela

Welcome back, Angela! Hope you had a lovely weekend!

I have a general question about the site: I have a Blackberry (yes, I know), but I can't access GOLO from it.... I can file my taxes on it, but not access my profile. Is there any way it can be made 'mobile-friendly?'

**** Note to self: You do not need to access GOLO -that- much, do you? ****

****Reply to self: But it's so fun...! ****

I would like a way to keep them from filling up my email.... Is that possible . if not can you unjoin the groups and stop getting all that email.............I think it's neat what you folks are doing but little granny can't take a lot of emails all the time on my email.

Post that on Angelas profile or send her an email Strolling.

putting on the groups on profile is sillie....takes up way too much room and doesnt allow the privacy of joining groups without all of golo knowing....i need a way to hide them...why isnt this option available.

i am still waiting for a feature that removes the groups off my profile....i will join no more.....

good good good

Nice work!

Thank you Queen and Rusty!!!! Awesome addition!

We've made a few changes. See the update above regarding the default settings. -Angela

Also, with many of the new algorithms regarding spam control, we look for sudden increases in traffic coming from one domain or IP number. If we detect that, we graylist or blacklist the domain. And since you are now blasting out tens of thousands of emails all of a sudden, if it doesn't stop, you run the risk of having WRAL email going on blacklists with a lot of major providers.
