Daily/Weekly notifications

[xrunner]

In the scheduled tasks area, you can set up these two items -

Daily Notification Summary
Emails out the daily digest for notification subscribers.    

Weekly Notification Summary
Emails out the weekly digest for notification subscribers.

I cannot find where in the forum members can subscribe/unsubscribe to these daily and weekly email notifications.

From Notifications in profile selecting Daily or weekly notifications instead of instant and then subscripting to topics or boards as normal.

I don't have this option in my profile even as Admin (at my forum) -

Receive forum newsletters, announcements and important notifications by email.

The first place I looked for this was in the notifications area of my profile. It's not just an Admin thing because I checked other member's profiles and they don't have it either.

Are you sure you and I are taking about the same thing? I'm not talking about notifications of posts and such. I'm talking about being able to select a daily or weekly email of some kind of digest, as stated in the OP I made.

Daily Notification Summary
Emails out the daily digest for notification subscribers.   

I don't even know what the digest is, I just installed SMF 2.0.

Maybe it's a bug?

Can anyone explain these daily and weekly digests and how members subscribe to them?

One more try. Can anyone explain my question?

In the scheduled tasks area, you can set up these two items -

Daily Notification Summary
Emails out the daily digest for notification subscribers.   

Weekly Notification Summary
Emails out the weekly digest for notification subscribers.

I cannot find where in the forum members can subscribe/unsubscribe to these daily and weekly email notifications.

I believe that, if a member has selected a notification to topics/posts, then all those notifications are sent out in a single email, (digest), either daily or weekly as specified in their profile.

For example, if I ask for notifications on this particular thread, then set in my profile that I wish to receive notifications daily, then I will receive one email, every day, containing all replies, rather than an individual email every time a reply is made.

Ditto for weekly

So, the bottom line is, if your members have asked for notifications, in other words subscribed to them, they will receive them as above!

I probably could have worded that simpler, but hope you get my drift!

Profile - Modify Profile - Notifications

Subscription can also be done by clicking on "Notify" at each board and eah topic.

To the last two responders -

As I said before in the thread, even as Admin, I do not have the selection listed below in my profile on my SMF 2.0 RC3 forum that shows up in my profile on this forum -

Receive forum newsletters, announcements and important notifications by email.

^^^ That option is simply non-existent in profiles on my forum - even my own - it ain't there ^^^

Also, nobody has explained what a "digest" is. I've never heard of a digest in previous versions of SMF. It looks like I can have the system send out a daily or weekly "digest" under scheduled tasks -

Emails out the daily digest for notification subscribers.

Emails out the weekly digest for notification subscribers.

But I have never received one. I've never even heard of one before I noticed these options in the scheduled tasks area.

Simple question: What is a "digest" as pertains to the new SMF 2.0 forum?

xrunner:  a digest is a brief outline of whats new on your forum, topics members etc

And if a user has notifications enables these options allow you to choose will it be a weekly message or daily message (daily is more spammer like so may get ignored)
