If I want to inform ALL members of a Site with a specific message - there is no (official) posibility for this.
But the watching system is either
- overloading the members with notifications we cannot stop ( without perhaps making the categories private) until the watchers have enough and stop this or
- reaching nobody , because of the watchers has stopped this traffic personnaly on the accounts.
I wish a specific category ("mesage-to-all-watchers") or page-only :
- which CANNOT be disabled from the watchers
- which is only editable by the Master admin ! ( and not the other admins!)
- which is enabled for comments /discuss - only for the MA !
- which is sending every MA-comment as emails to all members ( watching this one page/category only by automatic)
I made by chance a mistake on the handbook - enabling site specific profiles and had to inform most of the embers of this fact - and deleteing it again.
I did it with such watching page:
Handbook:Message to all watchers
Edit: changed the link to the specific category…
Does the completion of this wish mean that your problem is solved Helmuti?

Principle - yes!
But I have no idea if and when all the members in the handbook do a login into wikidot again.
A Mail is a bigger chance .. on the other hand - only one spam mail more…

Keep in mind that with e-mail not everyone can view HTML using their client. With sending PMs, you are guaranteed that the user is using a web browser (and it'd be pretty strange if a browser couldn't read HTML! ;-D )

Yes - this is agood point - we have no good "layouting" in the notifications-mails..

Users should get mail notifications about new PMs, so if they are interested in the site news, they have at least notification of newsletter in their mailbox.

Agreed. I don't find the pm'ng everybody to be a "newsletter" at all if they are never notified that they've been pm'd.
I think this one can be marked as done?
