      As requested, I put in a feature to send out daily, or weekly, digests of new posted messages.
      This turned out to be a lot more code than I expected – so, no promises that it works correctly. Let me know if you see any bugs ASAP
      Thank you,
      Ken W

      (re: No Promises) thankyou, ken. that’s very much appreciated. for a while, i lived on this site with the notification turned on, and it got a wee bit insane – a digest-format version of the same thing is a *very* good idea and very welcome.

      (Daily Digest Works) Ken, I got it – except I got it twice! Also the links in the messages didn’t work properly, but I guess that’s the same problem you were having before. Otherwhise, it’s really great, and having the messages included in the email is also perfect. Two thumbs up!

      (re: No Promises) The day before yesterday, I got the email 4x. Oops. Yesterday I only got it once, and the links in it worked properly. So I guess whatever you’re doing is working.

      (Daily email digests) The daily email digest feature is now working!
      You can now sign up to receive one email at the end of each day (or, at the end of each week) with a complete record of everything that was posted.
      Currently, about 150 of you have requested to receive an email every time that a new message is posted. This is actually a problem for me. My ISP writes me angry letter anytime that I send over 1,000 emails in a day. I’m working on a solution, but for now it would help me if some of the people who are receiving an update whenever a new message is posted would flip to the daily updates.
      To set your preference for updates, go to “My Account” and you will see it there.

      Ken,

      I don’t understand your problem. Where’s Sierragamers.com hosted? At which company? Why’s your ISP involved with this website? It doesn’t make much sense. If SpaceQuest.Net was to send 1000 e-mails a day, I’d have absolutely no problems what so ever. I’ve also think I recall you saying you don’t have enough server space. How’s that?

      Frans:
      I have a great hosting service – maximumasp.com. Who are you hosted with? I’ll check them out.
      I’ve been with a few different companies over the years, and thus far like maximumasp the best, because of their: 1) sql support, 2) customer support, 3) reliability, 4) connection to the net, 5) selection of installed components. They’re a first tier service, although are a couple of things I don’t like: 1) I need to find an alternate solution to sending large quantities of emails, and 2) I’m limited to 2 gigs of disk space (unless I spend more).
