I've been thinking of setting up a newsletter for my forum, but have been warned away from Commbull. Big Dan suggested GAZ; does anyone use it? Are you happy with it? Can we see one of the newsletters it generates?

I believe that Brandon uses it here, doesn't he? Someone suggested that to me a while back when I was looking to add a newsletter to my forum.

I know that there are a few html-enabling mods out there for e-mailing straight from the forum admincp, but I'm not well steeped in html knowledge

Solilquy, keep me posted if you hear about an affordable option or if Gaz has worked well for you if you decide to go with them.

I'll do that Arny, I'll be exploring the vbgeek site some more too, see if there's some examples or people willing to show their set-ups.

We use it here
vBulletin Setup Community NewsLetter

It's sent out to over 5,000+ users (ATM) when a newsletter is added.

Thanks Brandon, that's what I was curious to see. When it comes to the "hot threads" section, is there any way you can keep a thread from appearing there? I don't think I'd want the forum games threads appearing there.

Good... so how does that work? Does it compile a list of the hot threads and you just check off which ones you want included? Or do you have an option in the Thread Tools menu on the thread display page that says "add to hot threads" or what?

It's sorta like vba.. where you can setup "moduals" top, right, left, bottom.. and you can have w/e info you want..
I just have it pulling in the threads in those 3 sections

and yes, you can remove threads from a section, just like vba

Brandon, can you e-mail that newsletter and it will come out okay? No distorted areas or anything?
