I find them very handy--especially for any new TPR YouTube videos or TRs I may have overlooked.

[robbalvey]

And we would love to hear your feedback to the new poll question either way. If yes - how useful do you find the emails? If no - why don't you find them useful?

 

Your feedback is VERY important to us!

[JRice92]

I love them, just as others have said they give me the opportunity catch great topic or a TR that I might have missed through regular browsing.

[vuurvogel]

I find them very helpfull. I have not a lot of time at this moment to browse the forum regularly and really appriciate the emails giving me the highlights.

[m_bondy76]

Keep them coming. I do check them out when they come through.

[Coolex]

I say Yes!!

News, news and funny, crazy stuff.

[OregonCoaster]

Yes i do read and enjoy them

[hummeltm]

Yes! I do enjoy seeing updates on Monday's:)

[StuckInSD]

I find the e-mails quite useful, particularly for trip reports that often get glazed over in the constant shifting of threads. I'd say something about videos, but I'm browsing Youtube and checking the channel everyday anyways!

[Fran1962]

I love them too.

Great way to see something I may have missed and to look again at things I thought were great or real funny.

I like them a lot.

They also brighten a sometimes dreary Mondays' email list.

Keep them coming!

[Richard Koppelman]

Yes I read them. I don't browse the forum, so it is a great way to see what is happening.

[disneymoc]

I read each one of them. It helps me catch some things I may have missed during the week.

[FreeFaller]

I think those emails are really useful. I have been busy in the last couple of months and didn't have the chance to browse TPR for the latest updates, but the Monday Fun Emails have always brought me the threads that were updated and worth reading during the week. Keep them going, it's awesome for all the people who cannot browse TPR on a regular basis

[dhubbuch]

Love the Monday updates. Having all the updates in one place makes it easier to keep up when it's convenient for me.

[Sharon29060]

I think they're very useful! There'll be times when I can't browse the forums when I'm busy, and those emails will keep me up to date with what's happening.

[TBpony414]

I love the Monday Fun emails. I sometimes don't have a lot of time to browse the forum so getting the highlights in an email that I can read from my phone when I'm waiting for appointments to start is great. I like that there is a brief summary before the links which makes it easy to pick and choose what sounds interesting. Plus, nothing cheers up A Case of the Mondays like roller coasters!!

 

ETA - I don't follow TPR (or any site) on any of the social media outlets so updates there are useless to me. I much prefer the emails and forum!

[milford]

Yes. Enjoy the new coaster videos. Thanks.

[ray.wheeler]

yes. really enjoy the monday fun-mails. look forward to them.

[dmaxsba2408]

Makes my Monday to see that email arrive. Love it.

[ryein]

I don't have time to read through the forums all the time, so the emails really help me keep up to date on the important stuff. Keep 'em coming!

[Guy T. Koepp]

I like getting them as I don't often start at the home page and just auto jump from my emails to the forum I am monitoring. this clues me in on mabey some cool stuff I might have missed.
