First, you have to log in to TUG.

Then, at the top of the page, click "My TUG/Settings." A drop down list will appear. Choose "Watch List."

That's my best guess. Mine doesn't have anything in it.

the answer above is correct, the watch list by default is empty for all members. it is configured thru the MY WATCH list link in the member only section of TUG.

you can add as many resorts as you wish to your watch list and be automatically notified via email when new items get added for that resort (ads/reviews/etc).

the exact directions for getting to the watch list are

1. http://tug2.com

2. top right hand corner link titled MY TUG

3. drop down to MY WATCH LIST

4. from here you will see all the resorts (if any) configured for your watch list.

When I get these alerts, it doesn't tell me which resort has a new listing. I just have to go through manually & try to figure it out.

can you forward me the email you get? it should list the resort in either the subject, or the contents of the email.

I have the same issue. I have many resorts on my list, but never really know which one the email is talking about. My last email was:

when you go into the watch list after logging in, there should be an icon or "flag" on the resort within the watch list that has the new item added...is that not showing up?

if not what web browser are you using so we can try to duplicate.

thanks!

we may have changed the way the emails are sent to send them as one bulk batch, vs individual emails (for spam/blacklist purposes)...but there should always be a notification or icon that indicates which resort has the updated info. if that is not displaying, we need to fix that.

I agree, not fixed

But the icon is lit on resorts that have new additions, but if you have more than one you have to open to see the new posting. Icons indicate additions for the past fifteen days.

Here is email notifying me of watch list addition.

ok, perhaps we just need to change the emails to link directly to the watch list?

http://tug2.com/MyTUGWatchList.aspx

(although if you arent logged in, its just going to take you to the member login page)


on a side note, a new project/facelift to the tug2.com member only section might clear this up a bit more and make it easier on folks...but that might be a few weeks or months off. in the meantime, would changing the notification email be a usable alternative?

If the notification email listed the resort that would work okay for me now and in the future.

Same here. I'm not sure why this is even a problem, it seems like such an easy thing to fix.

the emails are sent as a bulk item to hundreds or even thousands of email addresses.

it would be a pretty big change to individualize them to each person. and while im sure it is possible (we do it with the marketplace emails)...its not just a matter of editing text in the emails =)

It never says the resort when I get the alerts. I have to go in and check - guess really - based upon which one appears to have "new" circles.

Well, it's been a year since this was last addressed. It'd still be nice to know what resort has an update when we get an email alert.

we have since modified the TUG member dashboard so one can easily see the resorts on their watch lists and what has been updated.

Do we still have the feature that links from your individual TUG-BBS entries to all your TUG resort reviews ?

I was just getting used to that when TUG-BBS switched over to its current version.

yes, its still available in the dashboard and you could post a link to it in your signature if you liked. however we have not yet figured out how to "auto place" the link below your login name like we did in the previous forum software.
