just a reminder about using topic tags...

 [1/7] from: maximo::meteorstudios::com at: 22-Mar-2004 15:19


I just wanted to remember that people using [topic] tags in their subject lines have the benefit of having their stuff sorted in a clean and obvious list on rebol.org. I wish more of us would continue putting [tags] on our subjects... http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/ml-topic-index.r I guess many rebolers didn't even know(remember) about this usefull page. its already usefull, but if the [topic] where more identified, especially on informative replies, then many more subjects would be grouped together... sorry for being anal about this ;-) -MAx --- You can either be part of the problem or part of the solution, but in the end, being part of the problem is much more fun.

Max: Give me an example, if you would. Or :-) let me guess.. I just posted a message with subject: function? You would like to see it as subject: [function?] If I'm wrong, let me know, if not, then I've got it. Now, I'll take your idea just a step further. I've frequently seen subjects in which the topic changes (and sometimes more than once) IMHO, *change* the [topic] tag where appropriate. All adds to rebol resources....

Some MLs send out periodic auto-messages with protocols, tips etc.

You're *not* being anal. I think you're *right on* "You can observe a lot by just watching." - Yogi B. thanks tim

yep!

too late!

yes! because otherwise we end up with sorted info which does not reflect listed topic. actually I think with or without topic, the subjects should change a little bit more often when they do fork...

cooperation amongt peers, goes a long way look how rebol.org has improved within the last year... most of that is through user request. they really listen, yes they do! :-)

rebol.org already is doing this with its weekly updates... I wish the mail had a little bit more of the fields which rebol.org allows though... at least a link to it, and even the name of the author!? -MAx This isn't a signature

Max, the extra info you seek is available in your preferences on REBOL.org... Enjoy!! ~~Ammon ;~>

 [5/7] from: maximo:meteorstudios at: 22-Mar-2004 18:43


yeah but they aren't set on the notification sent to this list... -MAx --- You can either be part of the problem or part of the solution, but in the end, being part of the problem is much more fun.

 [6/7] from: ammon:addept:ws at: 22-Mar-2004 16:50


that is true, I would personally lobby for the default notification to include all the information as many users prolly won't be able to find the settings easily... Enjoy!! ~~Ammon ;~>

Okay, okay! Enough people have asked for fuller information on the notices sent to the ML. I'll adjust the setting -- but probably not until the weekend. Meanwhile, here's two things you can do on www.rebol.org 1. As Ammon, says, log on to the Library, and set up or adjust your personal notices settings: --Control panel ----Update profile and personal preferences ------Notices. Set what notices you want, how often you want them (the triggers) and how detailed you want the content. 2. Also, when logged on to the Library, you can get a sneak preview of the notices yet to be sent to the ML: --Control panel ----Display notices -- ignore the fact that it probably says you have no unsent notices. Click it anyway. ------Display Mailing List notices -- this is a full set of outstanding notices for the ML Sunanda.
