Try setting your group membership to 'Daily Digest' and get one or two (long) emails a day containing several messages each. Or 'Special notices' which will mean you only get 'Admin' messages from the moderators.
To change your message delivery settings, go to the site and click Settings (top right of the menu bar). Changes take effect immediately. You can also pause your emails for a period - handy if you're going on holiday or just want a break.


You can edit your membership by clicking on the "edit membership" link near the top left of the page, just above the thick bar with the group name in it.
Keep in touch, and keep freegling.


The edit membership link is very small and usually pale blue, so you might need to hunt for it a bit.  The email selector is "Step 2. Message Delivery"  on the edit membership page.  If you prefer to change your settings by email. Please do not choose 'No Email' as we may need to contact everyone about major changes etc..

There will probably be a few days delay in any changes you make which is Yahoo catching up, please don't keep altering your membership too often as the delay could last longer.

ADMIN: TOO MANY EMAILS?

There's been a bit of publicity this weekend, and with the sudden influx of new members, we thought it might be a good time for a quick word about message delivery settings (a surprisingly interesting subject).

When you join a Freegle community, you can choose how often, and which, emails you receive from us. The choice is yours, and you can change it whenever and as often as you like.

To change your message delivery settings, go to the site and click Settings (top right of the menu bar). Changes take effect immediately. You can also pause your emails for a period - handy if you're going on holiday or just want a break.

Keep in touch, and keep freegling.
