Quick favour to help DiS
Just been doing some digging, and apparently if lots of people mark it as "not spam" or move our mailout from the new promotions tab in Gmail, it will hit people's inboxes in future. To find it quickly, try searching your inbox for the word Deftones.
I'm going to do threads of the year so far in next month's mailout, so sign up if you're not on the list, hit subscribe in the top left corner http://eepurl.com/QuABD
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
I didn't understand any of that
What do you want me to do sean?
I'll do it in simple steps
1) goto your email
2) search for the word "Deftones" and you should find this email http://eepurl.com/QuABD
3) if you find the DiS email, check if it is marked as spam.
IF it is marked as spam, set it as "Not Spam".
IF you have gMail and it is marked as a promotion, drag the email into your main inbox.
OTHERWISE join the mailing list if you didn't get an email from us on Sunday.
can't do that
can take a make up-less selfie though?
On perverts and french people use the tabbed inbox feature in Gmail
Man, I am so ON today
ON IT'S ON
searched my inbox for Deftones
NADA (nothing)
Done the same and I've got the latest DiS email
The favourite albums one.
Wasn't in junk.
Fantastic!
That's good to hear.
join up
only takes a sec.
doesn't it add everyone with the email they used to sign up to dis?
yes, it used to
however that doesn't work
and the list software we used to use was going into everyone's junk folders. Sent a few mail outs to 90,000 people last year, and only about 600 people saw the email. Wasn't worth what it cost to send the email or how it slowed down the site whilst the email was sending.
Annoyingly we can't export that mailing list to any new-fangled, spam white-listed services, and everyone needs to rejoin, which is kinda ok, as about 30,000 of the email addresses are over a decade old and probably people's old college or hotmail/yahoo that they don't use any more, and 10k or so was probably spambots. It's quite expensive to send email, so might as well ensure it's going to real people who actually want the emails from us.
Sorry to break it to you
But I don't think anyone reads or cares about a mailout
none of you lot will care
but there are people who visit DiS occasionally who like getting a reminder that we exist and to be turned on to things they might have missed. Email is far more effective at getting people onto the site than social media, apparently.
The main reason I was asking for all of your help was to ensure that these people get the monthly email (otherwise it's another waste of my time putting it together and sending it out). Spam-filters work on algorithms and you can correct them by getting enough people to mark an email as "not spam".
just add a thing showing the most ^thissed post of the week or something and everyone here would be all over it
bit rude
still no sign of this email
all signed up to as it wont let me resign with my email address
how bizarre, how bizarre
sean
the email address I used to sign up to DiS with is now defunct Is it possible for me to change my profile so my emails come to my Gmail? If not I'll probably just do a new profile although that feels like hassle too.
profile > edit profile
you diddy
indeed
holler if that doesn't work and I'll see what I can do.
it's on the dashboard page
or you'll find it here: http://drownedinsound.com/profile/edit (and then click on the email tab)
thanks both :)
oh
"there was a problem changing your email address".
i didn't sign up
i got the mailout anyway. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE
you're going to do a mailout containing THAT thread?
:(
