Group digest gone missing

Hi, Jo.

One of my mailing lists offers a daily digest, but I don't recall ever seeing such an option in a Usenet group.

Were/are you subscribed to a support group on the Quicken servers? Or perhaps it was a feature of your newsreader app?

Even in that listserve, I prefer to get the individual messages. But, to each his/her own, I say.

I normally get a daily digest of posted messages, but just realized they hadn't been coming in. Looks like for a week or two. Anyone else experiencing (experienced) this? What are possible causes?

RC,

How I subscribed, and to what, has long ago dropped out of my memory, but I AM subscribed to a digest :}. I don't know if this link will work for you, but this is what I get by clicking on a link toward the upper right of the home page of this group, titled Edit My Subscription,

Hi, Jo.

I've never seen that Google Groups page before. But when I follow your link, the page has an area in the upper LEFT that asks, "How to you want to read this group?", and there are 3 choices: No Email; Abridged Email; and Digest Email. And then there is another button below that to "Subscribe to this group". I don't see a button to "Edit", probably because I haven't subscribed.

The link in your post starts with "http://groups.google..." That "http" is the clue that you are looking at this newsgroup through a Web page via your BROWSER, not via WLM or another NEWSREADER. Which is fine with me, so long as you recognize the difference. Just don't expect your Usenet experience to be the same as mine. If you want a "digest" version, you'll need to edit your Google Groups subscription to provide that; so far as I know, it is not available in a newsreader (but I haven't tried other newsreaders, so others here can correct me if necessary). We obviously are reading the same content, and posting to the same place, but using different tools to do that.

As we say so often in newsgroups: YMMV. ; seeing such an option in a Usenet group.

Hi Rc,

Right now I *am* looking at the newsgroup through my browser but that's only because the digest is no longer being sent to me so there's no other way I can read the messages or post. Before this problem, I would get it in WLM as a normal email.

The link I sent you takes you directly into the subscription options page that I can see. The Edit option is on the Google web page for this group, the page that links to the subscription options. On my page the option to get the digest is still checked properly; I'm not surprised it doesn't look the same for you. This must have something to do with Google groups, so I'm going to see if there is some tech help page to untangle this. It's just easier for me to read the digest along with other email than to remember to come here directly on a regular basis.

If you go to Google groups and select Quicken, I assume it gives you the option to click on "My Membership". If it does, you could try changing the option to "Abridged" to see if that works. If it does, then you can change back to "Digest". If neither work, you could try some of the other options. If none work, then I don't know.

If you don't see the "My Membership" option but it does show "Join", your membership may have been canceled and you will have to start over.
