Snowbird Notification Help

Riverside Snowbirds have the option of subscribing to e-mail notifications to receive important announcements in a timely manner.  Riverside Snowbird Notifications are one-way only. Subscribers can not post messages or reply to messages. Therefore, subscribers only receive important announcements in their mailbox (so their e-mail in-box in not flooded with messages.)

Since you are clicking a link on an email that you received so the Notification system knows who you are and will display the Notifications Preferences screen for you to update your information.

The notifications you currently receive are checked. Uncheck notifications that you no longer want, and check new notifications you would like to receive.

You may also change the type of email you receive—plain text or formatted (HTML). Text in formatted emails contain bold, italic and colored text. They may also contain images.

• If you don't have a recent Snowbird Notification, you can select Notifications > Preferences in the Top men (you must be logged in).

Since the Notification system doesn't know who is clicking the Preferences link on the website, it will send an email to your email address with a link to your update screen. When you click on the link, you will be taken to the Preferences form shown above. If you don't receive the email, check your Spam folder (many of the emails end up there.)

• If you have any problems with the Notification system, contact the System Administrator.
