Newsletter question

Post by Captain Hook »

Luke,

I was wondering if there has been a newsletter since 6/14, because I haven't received one. I thought maybe I had deleted my account or something. Is the newsletter monthly, or just whenever you feel like it? I really liked the last issue.

LAST issue?
I never got the last issue :(

There have only been two. The way I see it, I only want to send out something when there's a bunch of significant news, and well, we wind up with a little bit of news here and there - and I don't want to just send the same stuff that's been on the site for weeks to people. You all already get enough e-mail as it is, most likely. Doing it weekly wouldn't work because there are weeks when nothing (or close to nothing) major happens. Monthly might work, I guess we're nearing a month. Maybe I'll send something new out soon.

:lol: Sorry Indiana, but I don't think it works that way :wink: . Poor Luke works hard enough to keep this site affloat, the only way for a 20% off coupon is if Luke was dishing out the additional 20% :)

I didn't get the last one either, but that was when my forum to e-mail thing was all screwed up, but it's working now :) . And yes, somehow I am bumbarded with e-mails, most of which are from tsDVD :roll: :wink: :lol:

I sent one out like a few weeks ago. Did you guys get it and like it?

Did you like the formatting? The 'clever' subtitles?

Everything was pretty much on the site already, but it's easier to digest and easier to prioritize a month's worth of news. For instance, you know the Kim Possible game menu isn't as important as the change in the Platinum schedule. You do know that, right? ;)

Maybe it was delivered to your bulk mail for some reason?

Your Yahoo e-mail address isn't in the subscriber list, did you use a different one?

Then I'll subscribe you since you're clearly not on "the list."

Thanks. I'm glad you like them.

I have trouble knowing how often people return to the site and deciding what calls for a new issue, but I assume they're helpful for people who have forgotten to return or only stop by every few weeks.

I know you're around more often than that, so I'm glad to hear you find them good. Thanks for the feedback.

:lol: I think that I'm around a little too much! :D Anyway, I think that I would have a newsletter on the first day of each month for monthly updates, and then when something special happens, another, like Finding Nemo newsletter. Anyone else have suggestions?

I just logged into an email address that I hardly ever use, and there were some Ultimate Disney newsletter emails. I had thought that I was getting UD newsletters through my current email address, but apparently not...and so I used the newsletter sign-up link on the homepage, and I filled out everything, and then there were ad-type things you could click on or press "cancel" to complete your registration, and then it brought me to some college's (University of Phoenix, maybe?) Myspace page! I have no idea if it worked...does all that mean that it worked? Is there a way to know if I signed up (I mean, besides waiting for the next newsletter)?

I don't see your e-mail address in the subscribers list, unless it's not the one in your profile. If you want me to add the one you use on the forum, I can do so and it should ask you to confirm.

I would appreciate that, Luke! Thanks! :) It's weird that the form didn't work.
