Is there a way to send out a reminder to everyone that hasn't picked up their card? I've done it individually and it takes forever. I noticed that after you upload your log, and the other user is initially notified, it won't let you notify them again. Thanks!

Ed,
happy new year to you & the users & board members who read here as well!,
guess the reminder everybody got by entering eQSL the last days ('06 resolutions) made a good starting point.
Repeating that from time to time could help a bit. But it won't help in case of the numerous registered users, who simply don't log in anymore.
May be, a service message, generated by the system automatically to all who didn't log in for, say 6..8 weeks changed things. On the other hand, possibly several users, who dislike this kind of "pressure", refused from using the service then.
Anyway, I appreciated it, since I guess, it helped to increase the qsl-return.
i.e., I'm also still waiting for cards for successful skeds arranged via eqsl..
by getting them and the expected/ unanswered others I was much closer to my eDX100
take care,
Tom

Tom,

Thanks for the reply. I like the idea of the system generated reminder. I could be done to simply let everyone know that by them checking their cards, they are helping someone else out too.

I know what you mean about the "pressure". There could be a way to opt out of it if you didn't want to receive the messages. Maybe Dave can come up with something creative. Like an "incentive" or "upgrade" for accounts that are checked say once a month or so.

And, Happy New Year to you as well.

Ed

Ed,

I copied & pasted the main idea of our conversation to "general web site suggestions/ Please post any suggestions here" and added a 2nd question. Dave took action immediately -thanks!- and replied concerning my 'p.s.'. Guess we should keep the idea of the system generated reminder in mind; since you're the idea's originator, will you raise the issue again?
have a nice weekend, 73!

Tom

I notice the NOTIFY option, and have gotten a few E-Notices. One small problem I may have is the fact that my "Shack" computer is not always connected to the web... (Depends on where said Shack is parked, at home there are too many trees and I can not see my internet connection (Which is in orbit) but here in the wilds..... I have a break in the trees, good signal from the sat (You folks reading this may all log a sat contact now. To figure out which sat it's the Hughes Internet sat located at 83.west www.lyngsat.com should have the bird's name)

But a reminder, say once a week "you have waiting eQSL's" even if the sender checks "Do not notify" woudl be nice... NOTE: You can replace "Week" with a longer term if you like,, Say Month
