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
- View your subscriptions right on our website with the
built-in subscription viewer (choose
Read My Subscriptions from the
MyChoralNet menu)
- Receive your subscribed items by email, either with
individual emails or using our convenient digest or index
options (see below).
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.
-
Communities. When you join a Community you are
automatically subscribed to its forum, blog, and any other new
content.
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), choose your location from the
MyChoralNet menu (or navigate to a different one) and
click the
Subscribe button.
How do I unsubscribe?
You can unsubscribe from any individual area of ChoralNet
within the subscription viewer. Choose
Read My Subscriptions from the
MyChoralNet menu.
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, choose
Subscription email options from the
MyChoralNet menu. 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.
How can I change my subscription email address?
Choose
My user profile from the
MyChoralNet menu, then click
Edit.
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.
