I’m sure I configured the default email digest to never before but alas I’ve stumbled over the settings page and it’s set to weekly. Trying to set it to never gives me a red ‘value’ error message: ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/3/8/38610e104bfaf53f7667f0d7940301237d01433c.png) Any clues? The digest emails are by far my biggest gripe as a user of discourse forums. I wish this was opt-in on all sites by default. ---

This is a confirmed bug, @zogstrip will have a look ---

Surprisingly, nobody has ever complained about the weekly email digest defaults. Literally nobody! Note that we only send digests for a maximum of 1 year past your last visit date and the digest default is weekly. We could probably move that down to every two weeks as a default. We also filter digests to just trust level 1 or higher posts, and digests obviously are not sent if there are no new posts… But the status quo seems to meet people’s expectations or at least be a reasonable balance between reminding people that your site exists, by mailing them some interesting content, versus nagging them constantly with spammy emails. I am always interested in hearing specific suggestions to make the digests better. ---
