moodle.org digests - a problem?

by Martin Huntley -
Number of replies: 10
About three times in the past year (most recently last week), moodle.org seems to have forgotten that I'm signed up for lots of different forums and should be getting a daily digest. Digests just stop coming and, when I check, moodle.org seems not to know any longer that I was subscribed to some forums. (And it's a pain to remember what I was subscribed to, and to reinstate those subscriptions!)

Are others having the same problem? Can anyone explain it?

You are probably being unenrolled from the course automatically because you don't log in frequently enough.

Aah! I bet that's it.

For a site like moodle.org, where the "courses" are not time-limited in the way courses ordinarily would be, I'd think it desirable to not have users unsubscribed after not logging in for a while. (Or, make it a VERY long while.)

Hi Martin,

For your information, moodle.org accounts unused for more than 60 days are automatically unenrolled. The Participants link in the People block gives the number of users in the last 60 days. surprise

How does one go about removing oneself?

by James Fales -
lets say hypothetically that one signed oneself up for way to many courses and now wants to not recieve a million emails a day.  How would one get removed from all of them?

One quick easy way to do that is to disable your email account in your profile but this will stop ALLLLLL emails from coming through... Hypathetically that is.... hehe wink

Thanks for the info. I hadn't realized that.

I find it enormously useful to do a daily scan of messages from selected forums and only occasionally need to log in to follow up on something.

I can't explain this - but I have noticed that I am getting two digest emails a day (rather than 1) - with just one or two in the second digest - is the digest limited to a certain number of posts? Is this happening to others or just to me?

Are you enrolled in more than one course at moodle.org? That might explain it - the other course.

Yes, i am enrolled in several - but posts from various courses come in one email and then a few more (2 or 3) usually in a second email. No obvious distinction between the two in terms of content, source, course etc.
