Notifications[edit source]

Users can sign up for Daily, Weekly or Monthly notifications. They are notified via email when there have been new content pages added to the site.

Notifications always go out immediately after the end of each period. In other words, Daily notifications are sent at around 12:01 AM every day. Weekly notifications are sent out every Sunday at around 12:01 AM. Monthly notifications are sent every 1st of the month at around 12:01 AM. Current server time (as of page load) is: March 3, 2024 11:55 PM.

If no new pages have been added within that time period, the notifications are not sent.

The Notification portal is here.

Approving accounts[edit source]

When users request an account, they are sent an email asking them to confirm their email address. Once they do so, an email is sent to the thermocomp admin alerting to the account request. Account requests can be reviewed here.

Approving changes[edit source]

When registered users make changes, those are automatically approved. Anonymous (not logged-in) users can make changes, but they are held in a queue waiting for approval. The queues for pages awaiting approval are on this page.

Admin notification[edit source]

The admins of this site receive an email when a page is first added to any of the ApprovedRevs queues. The notifications are then suppressed until all the queues have been emptied and then a page is added to one of the queues.

News items[edit source]

There is a form to assist in creating News items. These are displayed on the bottom of the home page. There are 3 items in the form:

  1. Page title - A short title for this item.
  2. News date - The date this item should be considered to have been posted. This is important for the order of the news items. They are displayed on the home page in date order, with the newest first.
  3. News text - A longer description of this item.

Only news items from the last 2 months are displayed on the home page.
