EmailAlerts
|
Email Alerts are notifications that are sent to you via email if and when any page you care about is edited. There are two ways to get email alerts.
Quick, easy way: with or without a Login/Account edit
- When you're on the page you want alerts for, click the 'get page alerts' link. You will be asked for your name and email.
- You'll get a confirmation email (prevents spam) with a link that you must click in order to confirm your subscription.
- You will be emailed whenever the page changes (including when you edit the page).
- Note: You can unsubscribe to alerts at any time.
Full featured way: only with a Login/Account edit
Logged In people have the ability to get emails when pages they are watching have been edited by someone other than themselves.
