<p>Hi everyone, as a follow-up to my July 26 2013 post, I want to add a little further tip. I sometimes want to send a group message to most of my friends, except for the MB admin or the friend who supplied new info. So, I found out that to omit only a few friends, I follow the above procedure, but then go back to uncheck the few who can't use the info. For example: if I have info for my U.S. friends and it's useless to my German friends, I would check them off/uncheck their names. That's it.…</p>

<div><p>Hi everyone, I realized yesterday that I’d been giving incomplete information to fans who wanted to be notified when new concert dates were added. I’ve been following and getting new dates from admin since 2010 and got the new date yesterday. I accidentally clicked on “stop following” and I panicked. So I went back to the ”Events” page that I accessed through the main page of this site. I realized that even if you click on “all events”, the page doesn’t contain a “follow” link. So, to…</p>

I’ve been following and getting new dates from admin since 2010 and got the new date yesterday. I accidentally clicked on “stop following” and I panicked. So I went back to the ”Events” page that I accessed through the main page of this site. I realized that even if you click on “all events”, the page doesn’t contain a “follow” link. So, to follow and get alerts for new events, you have to go to the actual Michael Bolton admin’s page, click on “view all” events, then find “follow” and click on it. So there you go. Take care and hugs to all, sincerely, Sylvie Qc Canada :D</p>

<p>Hi everyone, I wanted to share something it took me 3 years to figure out! lol For the longest time, I couldn't figure out how to send a message to all my friends from my forum in-box. So, if you are in your forum in-box, first click on "compose". When you get to the page where all your friends are listed, scroll down to where it says "select" and simply click on "friends on this network" and the total number of your friends should appear. Then just type in your subject, text and "send". I…</p>

Then just type in your subject, text and "send". I haven't experimented with "none", which I assume would mean you can either draft or send to someone outside the forum, but asI've said, I haven't tried. Doing it this way is a lot faster than having to check off all the names of your friends! :D Thanks for reading. Take care and hugs to all, sincerely, Sylvie Qc Canada</p> Sylvie B.

<p>Hi everyone, I was just explaining something to a friend and thought it would be relevant to post it here.</p>
<p>If you start a discussion thread in any category</p>
<p>(“general chat”, “Tours gigs & announcements” etc), you have options that only you have access to. On your thread page, where it says: “All discussions”, “My discussions” and “add”, you should have a link that says “options”. If you click on it, you should be able to read:</p>

I’ve only started one discussion thread so far but learned a lot from it. Take care and hugs to all, sincerely, Sylvie Qc Canada</p>

<div>When you start a DISCUSSION on the FORUM section you have control of it. If you change your mind, if it's going no where and no one looks at it or responds to it. Maybe it's just old and of no interest at a certain point and you decide it shouldn't be even on the site anymore you can take care of it. </div>
<div>At the top right of the where it says OPTIONS click on the arrow. You as the starter of the Discussion have the option to Edit, Close, Add, or Delete the Discussion.</div>

<p>Hi again everyone, I thought I should add, since a friend of mine brought it up, that you can also get E-mail alerts when you want to hear about new blog posts from the admin. For the blog posts:</p>
<p>-go to the main page where the few blog posts are listed and click on “view all”</p>
<p>-When you get to that page, go to where it says: “follow-– Email me when this member adds new blog posts” and click on it. It should change to “stop following”</p>

<p>Now in 2010, when I signed up on this site, I did the same thing with the “events” page to follow new events and I do get alerts when new ones are posted, but now I can’t seem to find the “follow” link any more so not sure if you can do the same thing. Anyway, hope that helps too. Take care and hugs to all, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada</p>

<p>Hi everyone, I’m taking the liberty to add valuable instructions our friend Joy from NJ has provided concerning discussion threads and E-mail alerts.</p>
<p>----------</p>
<p>1) If you find a thread and make a comment, you automatically will start "following" it. You will get emails every time someone posts something.</p>

<p>Hi everyone, I’m taking the liberty to add valuable instructions our friend Joy from NJ has provided concerning discussion threads and E-mail alerts.</p>
<p>----------</p>
<p>1) If you find a thread and make a comment, you automatically will start "following" it. You will get emails every time someone posts something.</p>
<p>2) If you find a thread and don't make a comment, but you want to "follow" it-go to the top of the thread. Under the section where you would post your comment to the left it says" <u>Follow-Email me when people</u> <u>reply"</u>. Click on Follow-now you are following that thread.</p>
<p>3) When you decide you don't want to follow a thread, go in and click on "<u>Stop Following-Don't email me when people reply"</u> and you will stop getting emails.</p>
<p>-----------</p>
<p>I’d like to add to that, instructions to get E-mail alerts to get notified when new threads are started in various categories of topics.</p>
<ol>
<li>Go to the topic categories page:</li>
</ol>
<p><a href="http://www.michaelbolton.com/forum/categories/general-chat-about-michael/listForCategory" rel="nofollow">http://www.michaelbolton.com/forum/categories/general-chat-about-mi...</a></p>
<p>2. To get notified of new threads in "general chat" for instance, click on "general chat".</p>
<p>3. When you get to the page, go to the bottom of the page where it should say "E-mail me about new discussions in this category" and click on it. Then it should change to "don't E-mail me...".</p>
<p>It’s the same process for all categories. Hope this proves to be useful. Take care and hugs to all, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada :D</p>
