Hello Joe,

There is a thread about this on the General Support forum here but I wanted to formally put it in as a Feature Request.

I find it problematic that publishing a new item always results in a email notification to all members of the site.

There are many circumstances where this is undesirable, particularly if one is making significant structural changes to a site and also if one is adding information that might be considered background rather than "must-see" content. For example we recently wanted to post multiple write-ups from our book group to their discussion forum but did not want each (or indeed any) to be notified.

From the responses to the above link I think that there would be general support for this feature.

All we really need is a "Publish without email" button or checkbox. As a quick hack could there be a way of temporarily disabling notifications for the whole site?

Many thanks

Dave

This would be ever so useful.  I have just taken responsibilty for the upgrade of a website and I didn't realise that emails were being sent out to all members as I upgraded the site. (As I was creating the pages I wasn't copied in so I was oblivious to what was happening).
