Give us the choice to opt out rather than abolishing them altogether. Some want them to stay and some want them to go. This seems to be the only compromise.

They must stay

hilarydougill, 2 months ago

I would be quite pleased to see them go. but that is just me personally, I am sure people who don’t get much by way of bubblemail would be pleased to have them, sorry I am no help at all haha. love and hugs

gothgirl, 2 months ago

Why should they go? They are very useful in communication

Clive King, 2 months ago

I agree with Jaybe is there a way of opting in or out?

susan davies in reply to Clive King’s comment, 2 months ago

I totally agree that a button to opt out if you want would be a good thing maybe on groups overview page or somewhere where you can opt at any time this seems fair to those who want them and those who dont

susan davies in reply to Clive King’s comment, 2 months ago

ps there is not anyway you can opt out other than not reading and deleting of course

dawndavies, 2 months ago

want them to stay, its easier with these than try and look through the forums at times, dawn

zacco, 2 months ago

the trouble with bubblemail is people abuse the system with spam,i get someimes 10 a day vastly junk spam,opt out sounds good,too me

zacco, 2 months ago

by the way i host 3 minor groups, if people want to see a group comp or meet they will goto the group for info ,not a bad thing is it?

Susan King, 2 months ago

I would like them to stay as I find them informative most of the time.

susan davies in reply to zacco’s comment, 2 months ago

opt out simple solution you could even decide which groups if any you want bubblemails from and those that love can still have them, the only fair way

susan davies in reply to zacco’s comment, 2 months ago

as a member of a few groups tho matt, I find that I just dont have time to go to each forum but I always read my bubblemails even if not straight away

zacco, 2 months ago

yes i agree ,i dont need 10-20 diffrent group mails telling me to do the competion on each group unless thats what i opt for,it would be nice to spend 5 mins looking at new art rather than checkin and deleting bm’s that has no use to me ,but you goto check them just incase.

HarrietRN, 2 months ago

I vote that they stay because, I don’t always have time to go to each groups, and some folks have a LOT of groups they would have to visit.

And when I am not busy, I am just too lazy :P

Sue I have just been reading the host forum about the new suggested feeds and I think out of the two systems I would prefer bubblemail.

I can see there could be a case for the feed system, but could they hold their own in a situation such as this. If organising a meet, as I often do, and there is an unexpected change to the planned venue, this needs to be communicated to the members how would i do this using the feed system? As I understand it, I couldn’t be sure that everyone had received that message.

As for forums, I hate them, and try my best never to use them. Unless, like today I was pointed to a thread of interest to me. and I’m also sure that members due to travel to a meet are not going to log onto a forum before they go.

There maybe a case for employing two systems in the short term for the hosts to iron out any problems with the new system while having the backup of the old bubble mail system. But if I were forced to chose a system now it would be the bubblemail system

If you wanted to use this Sue in the host forum I haven’t a problem with that.

I think we need them, I appreciate knowing what’s happening, I don’t have time to look at the forums too often, though I would join in a lot more if I could. Opting in or out is a great idea. If anyone gets spam, can this not be reported? I love Bubblemail!

susan davies in reply to Brian Beckett’s comment, 2 months ago

very good points raised here bri bubblemails are the quickest and easiest wat to relay details and atleast you know that everyone would receive details of as you give as an example change of details of for example a meet, then it would be up to individuals to read them

Maximus, 2 months ago

I really don’t know how you could coordinate a group without that feature. :)

susan davies in reply to Maximus’s comment, 2 months ago

not easy, I reckon

Mui-Ling Teh, 2 months ago

I agree with Max ;)

susan davies in reply to Shirley Hirst’s comment, 2 months ago

yes spam can be reported and its not fair to abolish these group bubblemails if others are using them for the good of the groups and therefore for the good of redbubble, it was things like the group bubblemails from other groups that encouraged me to start my own groups

susan davies, 2 months ago

would like to thank everyone so far for your views

Rinkydink, 2 months ago

personally I find bmails easier to manage & refer back to than journals ( & I have never used the forums yet)

susan davies, 2 months ago

apparently there will be alerts I assume in activity box when something goes into forums but I already miss new work if ive been off a day so would probably miss these alerts also

Jo O'Brien, 2 months ago

They are being replaced with an editable, achievable, live feed which appears in activity monitors like a new work or comment does. If you miss one, or want to find an old one, you will be able to view only group communciations and go back through the list without the other 50 billions things in your activity monitor getting in the way.

SharonD, 2 months ago

I don’t have a problem with group BM’s

susan davies in reply to Jo O'Brien’s comment, 2 months ago

thanks jo for replying here and letting everyone know what the new method iis then atleast everyone can draw there on opinions on which they prefer

eXposure, 2 months ago

brirose55, 2 months ago
