TSL Pass subscribers: We have restored our article notification email service. That's the feature where we send you an email when we post a new article. We didn't have this in place when we launched, and after a false start a couple weeks ago, we have everything set up.

Here are some important details about the service:

  • This is a service for TSL Pass subscribers only.  Sending out emails to all 40,000+ of our registered users (free and pay) would be certifiably insane, so it's a subscriber-only service.
  • To check whether or not you're set to receive the emails, log into the site, click the "Account Details" link near your login name, and then click the "Edit Profile" tab. Look for the "Unsubscribe from emails" check box. If you want to receive article notifications, make sure the box is UNCHECKED ... but first, read the next note.
  • Unfortunately, with our new aMember user management software, the "Unsubscribe from emails" box, if checked, will also prevent you from getting subscription expiration reminders. The two are linked together. So be aware that if you check the box, you won't get article notifications, AND you won't get subscription expiration notices.  If you uncheck the box, you'll get both.
