Group Subscriptions - "Digest" Delivery Mode

Today we added the "Daily Digest" delivery mode to RealTown Group subscriptions. Each morning, at 2:00am PST, the posts from the previous day will be compiled into a single email and distributed to the digest group subscribers. Each group will have its own digest, so if you are subscribed to several groups you should receive one digest from each group each morning.

We realize that very active groups may produce hundreds of messages per day, which could lead to an extremely large digest. To help prevent this, we are limiting the number of posts a digest may contain. By default, group digests may not have more than 15 posts each. We feel that this number is a good balance of usability and maintainability. However, a Group Organizer may override this limitation and increase it to 30 posts per digest for their group, which will affect all digest subscribers.

Group subscribers with the "individual" delivery mode are not affected by this daily limitation and will continue to receive email notifications upon each new post.

To update your subscriptions, visit the My Subscriptions page and then click the pencil icon for the subscription you want to modify. You can then choose which email address to send to and your preferred delivery method. The bravest of RealTowners may choose to subscribe to both delivery methods by selecting "both".
