Let's take a short break from all the holiday goodness to introduce something new here at Elysian Fields.

A short while ago, a number or members were having issues with emails that were sent from our email address. Because of this, I put on my thinking cap, and wound up changing the way that the site sends out emails (instead of sending bulk emails out all at once, we now put them in a queue, and they go out in small batches, which makes the emails less suspicious to spam filters). Based on some comments I've received, it seems that this method has had some success, and the majority of emails are now showing up as they're supposed to (even if they're still being filtered to junk mail, at least they're getting there). The reason I'm bringing this up is because while I was working on the email issues, I also added a brand new feature. From now on, every night at midnight server time (Eastern US time or GMT -5:00), the site will compile a list of new and updated stories, and any new site news items that were added on the previous day. Then, that list will be emailed out to members who have elected to receive it. If you'd like to subscribe to our new daily digest, head over to your preferences, and check the box next to the option that says, "Email me a daily digest with new/updated stories and news items:" Make sure you've added our site email address (elysianfields@dark-solace.org) to your safe senders list to lessen the chance that our emails end up in your junk mail folder.

As always, let me know with a comment below or a PM/email if you have any questions or comments.
