Summary Email feedback

[neil (Neil Lalonde)]

Whoops - whispers are making it into the summary emails

Fixed!

it may be better to just display username or full name of popular posts authors, and not both.

Also fixed!

I also think clicking on any of that (post excerpt, picture, username) should take me to the post - not just the READ MORE button of to the right.

Clicking on avatar and username should take you to the post? Do you mean user profile page?

Perhaps it makes sense to move the topic title of a popular post to be above the post text and more prominent?

That conflicts with the complaints that the digest is too spread out… Adding a new row above each post will add more height to the overall email.

The popular posts section is something that needs to be tuned. Currently we fetch posts with a score of 5.0 or higher. Why 5.0? Because I didn’t know what number to pick. Based on the digest emails I get every 30 minutes that number is too low.

I imagine the popular posts section is where people will want to see an important post by the game developers on a game forum, for example. When scanning the summary, I’ll spot the dev’s avatar and the post. I care less about the topic title than the fact that I missed an important post that was buried in a topic somewhere. Currently posts with only 1 like are being included as popular, but shouldn’t be.
