Newsletter Error: General Physics Labels Misleading

  • Thread starter fresh_42
  • Start date
In summary, the newsletter summarizes all listed threads under the label "General Physics", regardless of its actual origin. I've seen this at least in both of the last newsletters. At first I thought they were actually all from GP, but now I had a closer look and they aren't.

Newsletter ?

"Top Science Discussions from Last Week" weekly e-mail. Highly recommended : always something interesting.

Probably the "Receive News and Update e-mails" checkbox under Account Settings > Privacy.

Thanks @fresh_42 -- I had wondered about that as well. I just thought Greg was spending a lot of time in the GP forum, and ignoring all the other ones... :smile:

No, it is something else. I have that checked and don't get mails. But I know Greg can send some weekly summaries or similar around.

A quick check on my e-mail folder for the forums, and it looks like the first one was "We miss you..." after a prolonged absence, so maybe you have to leave for awhile before you start getting them. (It worked : QED :oldsmile:)

Same here. I don't get it too.

As (mostly) a casual lurker, it's great. YMMV

The e-mail comes out every Tuesday morning (US time). There is the one from this past Tuesday:
