This morning I checked the number of people who have switched on email alerts for contributions to this forum. Only 6 people from a possible 40 have switched them on. Unfortunately the default for SharePoint is that alerts are switched OFF. They cannot be switched on centrally - only individually.

 

We could do an email round inviting people to switch them on - with a link taking them to the right place straightaway. My view though - is that we need more contributions from 'names'/'faces' on key issues (like Mike's on Networks for example) before people will think it is worth keeping in touch.
