Does it mean - I get every day a lot of Mails of my sites?

Like "handbook" - which is (hopefiuly) overloading me?
Or for all the Sites where I am member ?
( Community ? , )
And perhaps automatically - without a great chance to stop it?

or are such Mails "Once" per day?

Hi Helmuti,

I have started putting a description draft of activity notifications at a FAQ page here: http://www.wikidot.com/faq:watching

By default we will subscribe all users to the sites they are members of + pages they edited.

Also there is a one-click way to stop watching any of the sources.

I realize there may be a problem of initial email-flooding of activity emails, so it is crucial to provide a quick way to unsubscribe quickly. There is a one-click way to stop watching any of the sources.

From what we have seen this will help maintaining better communication between members of individual sites and solve the problem of members not actually being aware of what is going on no their sites.

Sounds great. As a new Wikidotter (is that what we are?) with one wiki I don't check wikidot every day so I'm looking forward to email notification

Notifications should be subscribed to... not defaulted to

Ok so we've all enjoyed using Wikidot and all its features - but we all now have experienced this new feature and are finding faults. Is any work going on to reverse this feature - e.g. changing the default for notifications to be "off" unless specifically requested by the each user.

I'd also suggest that the editor of a entry can elect to publish a notification or to keep it quiet (I like to tweek things - but if it causes a notification to dozens of people then I tend to let things rot)

That's my main issue with notifications. Does anyone really need to know every single time I fix a typo?
