The Multiply Blog

If you receive our What You've Missed e-mail alerts, you certainly understand the value they provide: if you tend to go more than a day or so between visits to Multiply, these are the best way to effortlessly keep up to date with new replies to your posts, new posts by the people you know, and so on. Think of these as, well, exactly what they are – a custom update letting you know exactly what's been going on in your Multiply network since you've been gone!

While the alerts themselves aren't changing, their subject lines are, making it easier to, at a glance, know what you've missed. We, clearly, can't cram the entire message into the subject line, but we're doing the next best thing – having the subject line reflect the most important news contained within. If someone replied to something you've posted, the subject will reflect this. If not, we'll go for the next-most-relevant bit of news.

(Actual subject lines are subject to change and will, naturally, mention people you actually know. :-)

As always, we'll let you know when these changes go into effect, but just in case you happen to miss it, we wanted to give you plenty of notice of the change, so as not to leave you wondering what these unfamiliar e-mails are.

And if you don't currently subscribe to What You've Missed alerts, this is a great opportunity to give them a try! You can change your WYM preference by clicking the handy settings link at the top of any page, followed by My E-mail Alerts. Then, simply look for the Send me posts I've missed drop-down menu and pick your preferred delivery frequency.
