There was a daily/weekly digest option back in the “old days”. I’ve not seen anything since they moved the forum. For the last week or so, I haven’t received any emails whatsoever and then, yesterday, it sent me a handful of individual posts people made LAST WEEK!!! Not in any particular order, mind you, nor a complete set. I’ve just received yours from Sunday, Laura, after I received the post I’m quoting above.Laura_Elsewhere said:Argh the system has suddenly gone back to sending me an email for every single comment made by anyone on every single discussion... drowning in emails! Wretched thing has no setting for a daily or weekly notification, but it had been daily, hadn't it?

I’ve just been getting individual emails for every comment since they changed the website. Can’t find how to ask for daily updates. I did email them about but think they were inundated.Stash busting challenge 2025: 0/100 £0/£100 Fashion on the ration 2025: 0/662

I really liked the jumper that Clare was wearing last night on the GBSB. I know lots of you are keen knitters - does anyone recognise the pattern?It doesn't matter if you are a glass half full or half empty sort of person. Keep it topped up! Cheers!2

Wheeee, the postie brought me ALL the squishy packages today!
the lovely cream wool-rich 4-ply from kind @keepcalmandcraft arrived at the same time as my treating-myself package from Ewe & Ply with all the copper-russet/vivid-green yarns!
I was having a rather bleak day (too many memories of Rotten Stuff at the time of year, always a bit difficult and this year very hard to district myself from dwelling on i) and TWO lovely packages of lovely wool for socks has really cheered me up!

There currently isn’t an option, @keepcalmandcraft. It’s all or nothing, sadly.keepcalmandcraft said:I’ve just been getting individual emails for every comment since they changed the website. Can’t find how to ask for daily updates. I did email them about but think they were inundated.
You aren’t the only one who emailed. I did too. I also wrote on the “snagging” thread but never saw a response. (Admittedly, after about a week, I gave up reading it - the volume of posts was too great.)

Finished jumper to show off. This is the Caradon HIll Jumper which I cast on in April, using the DK yarn that I bought from New Zealand. It took exactly two months to knit. Only modifications were to the neckline, where I added 6 rounds after completing the shaping and a ribbed collar. (I didn’t like the original boatneck.)
