E-mail has changed; can you update my notification options?

Darlene, I have had to open a new e-mail, so could you please send all the stories of other people to this e-mail, as I enjoy your site and don't want to lose out on reading anything.

Thank you
Ros Taprell

Reply from Darlene: Ros, the notification system on my site is automated. Canadian subscription laws prevent me from having access to either update or initiate notifications to individual contributors; that can only be done by the contributor.

Therefore, the only way to change your email address is to send me a brand new submission (as you did with this question). When I approve the contribution—when it gets posted on my site—the notification options you selected from the Thank You page and the email address you provided, would then be picked up by the system.

At the very bottom of the Thank You page you will be brought to after submitting your contribution, you will find the following:

Set Notification Options

__ My contribution has been accepted.
__ Someone comments on my contribution.
__ When others contribute to this Web site.

Privacy: We promise to use your e-mail address only to notify you as you request.

The third notification option above is the one that will trigger the system to send you the New Contribution emails.

Ros, if you didn't select the third option, or if you provided the old email address when you submitted this query, perhaps you'd care to send another submission, such as one of your poems, so that your current email is the one you start receiving notifications to.

One more matter worthy of note: The last line of the notification options states the privacy policy of the company that powers my site. Their rules and regulations regarding privacy also address the issue of spam. It is this privacy policy that prevents me from directly emailing anyone who sends me a submission, unless that contributor expressly asks me to. Without express permission, I have no choice but to post submissions and my replies on this public forum.
