Subscriptions help

Subscriptions allow you to keep track of new activity on the ChoralNet website. While you can look for new items on the website or via public RSS feeds, subscriptions allow you do the following:

Create a customized RSS feed which contains exactly the items you're interested in, which you can view using your own RSS reader
Receive your subscribed items by email, either with individual emails or using our convenient digest or index options (see below).

To do either of those things, click Subscriptions at the top of your user page. (You can get to your user page by clicking your name on the top of any page.) More help on managing subscriptions

You can subscribe to:

Specific types of content on ChoralNet, such as Choral News or ChoralBlog
Individual categories in some areas, such as Classifieds and Forums
Individual forum threads (including comments)
Geographical areas. By choosing a country, province, or state, you can receive notification of new Classifieds, concert announcements, choirs, etc. which are located in that specific place.

By clicking Subscriptions on your user page, you can change your email options, or unsubscribe from anything you've subscribed to, or add a geographical subscription.

How do I subscribe?

Start by exploring the site by clicking the various links along the top.

To subscribe to Forums, click on the forum area you're interested and you'll see a Subscribe button. For topics which allow commenting, you won't initially be subscribed to the replies to posts in the forum; to change this, click on Subscriptions on your user page.
To subscribe to an individual thread (that is, a message and its replies), view the thread and click on the "Subscribe to thread" button.
To subscribe to a Classifieds topic, click on the topic name and then on the Subscribe button.
To subscribe to a geographical location (such as California), click on Subscriptions on your user page.

How do I unsubscribe?

You can unsubscribe from any individual area of ChoralNet using the Subscriptions button at the top of your home page.

What are my delivery options?

Index version: a daily summary with just a one-line description of each item, plus a convenient link to read the whole thing in your browser
Digest subscription: a daily summary with the entire contents of each new item
Individual emails: this corresponds to the subscription many Choralist and ChoralTalk users are used to; you'll receive a separate email each time new content is added in the areas you're subscribed to.
Customized RSS feed: There's an RSS link on your Subscriptions page which you can enter into your favorite RSS reader.

Can I receive different subscriptions in different formats?

Yes, click on Customize on your subscriptions page. This will allow you to choose each of the formats above individually for every subscription, as well as set a default for anything new you subscribe to subsequently. You can also control whether you receive HTML email using this option.

What happened to Choralist and ChoralTalk?

They're still there, but we're calling them Announcements and Forums now. By subscribing by email to the forums (or individual forums whose topics you're interested in), you'll still receive email notification of the latest announcements and discussion topics in the choral world, just like on Choralist!

Do I have to use subscriptions?

Nope. You can read all of ChoralNet's content right here on the website, or use your RSS reader to keep up with individual content areas marked with the RSS symbol.
