+Black Dog Trackers Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Sometimes when I approve a waymark, I include a message asking that the waymarker make some minor change in the waymark. Admittedly, I don't check up on the results very diligently, but I wonder if people always read these messages. With mine, I usually don't even open them, because there's almost always no message in them. So, for both sides of the coin, the situation makes me think of a suggestion. The suggestion: Make 2 varieties of the email subject: 1. Your waymark has been approved 2. Your waymark has been approved, with a message Then you'll know that the approver wrote something in the box for you to read. Now I know, having both sent and recived them, that many messages are just "Good one!" or some such thing. Perhaps if there was a box to checkmark only if the approver was writing an important message to read, then the subject style 2 would be sent. Link to comment
+8Nuts MotherGoose Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Yes, that would be nice. I always open mine to look for a message, just in case. BUT... This morning my IP went down for three hours. I know an "approved" message should have come in because when I got back on, one of my submissions had been approved. I wonder if he asked for a minor change? He has in the past. Link to comment
+ChapterhouseInc Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 i open the messages, to use the links to log my visit. it would be nice to know if there was a message attached (i fix the errors, if i know how), but there are some who say 'thanks for submitting this mark'. so then there should be three messages. then, the beginning of the message needs to be different--as with longer subjects, the end is often cut off in the 'inbox'. how about: -your waymark has been approved -a message has been attached to your approved waymark -your approved waymark needs minor edits Link to comment

+bullit Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 A flag in the subject would be great... I had been deleting them all without reading the contents when I noticed today that Black Dog Trackers had included a note in one of them for me. Now I'm going back through them all and making the requested edits Link to comment
