Daily Digest question
 
Is anybody else having a problem getting the daily digest? I can only get it now by going through a web search and then accessing the site. Was much easier when I got it via email. Can't figure why it stopped and how to get it going again.

Mine comes like clockwork. Perhaps you need to add the email address to your contact manager.

It happens periodically. It doesn't affect everyone. Doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason for it. I got help by going to [email protected].

Well, I've been getting it for years, so it's already in my contacts. I have emailed (twice) to QB manager but have not received reply or recovery.
Also, contacted one other board member who was having the same problem.

Finally got an email from QB for 'articles' but still no email for the digest. Although some people have started getting the digest back, I'm still waiting.

Mine has been back for 3 days now!

Every once in awhile it happens to lots of members. All last week my email links weren't working and there were lots of other members experiencing the same problem. Then about three days ago it started working again. Seems to happen a couple of times each year.

mailto:[email protected] I am fine now, but wasn't until I emailed this site.

wendiq 09-05-2016 10:54 AM

I, too, had problems and they weren't fixed until I emailed [email protected] I am just fine.....very frustrating though!

Sandi 09-05-2016 11:26 AM

I did have the same exact trouble and couldn't figure out what was happening. It works fine now so I think the same will happen for you too.

lynnie 09-05-2016 11:46 AM

i stopped getting it in my e mail about 3 yrs ago. and don't know why.

sewnclog 09-07-2016 06:37 AM

I am having the same trouble; have to go through the search engine to get to the daily posts. Not sure why that is. I still get the one a week on Mondays about a specific teach or technique, but not the ones that come throughout the week. I can't even 'sign up' for the newsletter; the screen pops up with an "Error" message. Frustrating.
Cause I LOVE this board. Such talented and helpful quilters on here.

I haven't received any digest emails for a couple of months. I really wish they would add me back as I enjoy reading the digest part more than going into each category and looking. bummer!!

Is this the link that you used to get in your email but stopped getting? If so, it is so easy to just save the link as a bookmark, or a shortcut on your desktop, or even make it your homepage. Then you don't have to rely on a 3rd party source to deliver an email. If you need help doing one of the things I suggest, post what browser you use and which way you'd like to go, and I'll be glad to post help.

no i really don't think I had a link. It would just be an email in my inbox. Don't know why it has stopped. Thanks for offering to help! I just wish it would come to my inbox again so all I have to do is open it and go to it.

I meant, is what's at this link what you get in your inbox?

I use Chrome as my browser. Don't know how to make a shortcut but that would be nice to have. no, don't want it as homepage as this is a shared computer. Thanks for your help.

patricej 09-12-2016 01:53 AM

in the browsers chrome and firefox, "shortcuts" are called bookmarks.
in the browser explorer and whatever-microsoft-now-calls-explorer, they are called favorites.
when you are on the page you want to bookmark, use the browser menu to bookmark/favorite that page.
see your browser's help feature if you need more information about how to create and use bookmarks/favorites.

If I do that will it actually pull up the new items? I thought it would just go to the day's digest that I bookmark. I will try that and see what happens. Thanks again for your help! I just wish it came to my inbox as it used to do. So easy just to open an email from there.....and not have to go through my list of bookmarks which is quite loooooonnnnggg!! teehee!

mzzzquilts 09-12-2016 04:54 PM

once you get to the page, left click on the icon that is at the start of the www. address, hold your mouse down, and drag that icon to your desktop. Then you'll have a shortcut to the page on your desktop, that's separate from your bookmarks/favorites.

Tried that but I only have the page pulled up so have nowhere to drag the icon to. Also, it didn't work. Maybe it will if I copy and past it. Thank you for helping me try.

Well I highlighted the address, right clicked and copied, went to desktop, and pasted it. Chrome opened a folder and I typed in Quilting board and it is now on my desktop. Wow!! I did it! Thanks so much mzzzquilts. yay for us! this will be so much easier. I appreciate your time. Have a good one!

It is such a simple solution if you're not getting the email, I hope others will try it, thanks for letting me know it worked for you, Helen!
