I am in the process of setting up a new forum and already people have said they don’t like the digest emails. Now rather than turn them off I would like to change the frequency to 1 month or perhaps even 3 months. Trouble is the setting maxes out at 2 weeks, is there a way of making this longer? T…

This can be a thing because the first 50 members of the forum (during the bootstrap mode) get daily digests, and after that it goes back to the default (weekly).

I have set it to 2 weeks, does this mean that the setting is ignored for the first 50 registrations?

No such option is planned for the forseeable future. We also won’t be adding a milliseconds box.. :wink:

Shame looks like I am stuck with disabling it completely so as not to annoy everybody :frowning: The particular trouble is the way Discourse is packed as a Docker container it makes it much harder to modify it myself. With things like WordPress or Magento overriding the code in a way that survives …

I wouldn’t know how to code it, but I think there’s a good chance you could use a plugin so changes would survive updates. It is easy enough to override the site setting config/site_settings.yml main default: false client: true area: …

It’ll be annoying only those people who don’t visit your forum.
