In regard to the email "notify me" issues that we have been experiencing since the change over to the new website, we thank everyone who has brought this issue to our attention. We have been actively researching this issue and we have confirmed that the mailing list from the old website was imported into the new website.
The old website had a single mailing list - News & Announcements. The original emailing list was imported only into the "News" topic for the Site Home Page. Enrollments for the other topics on the new website are still in their beginning stages as residents and other visitors sign themselves up.
In terms of email postings there is a difference that all subscribers will want to keep in mind. The email lists available on the new site are configured based on two factors - content type and department / board page. A Meeting Agenda posted in the Board of Selectmen is different than Meeting Minutes posted in the Planning Board which is different from News posted from the home page and there may be a completely different list of email addresses signed up to receive each posting based on individual preferences.
All existing email addresses from the old site were imported with the home page News subscription only. We have instructed the Website service to link all existing subscribers to the Selectmen Meeting Agenda as well, which should be completed within the next few days.
More email options are available now and to please visit the new website to resubscribe and sign up for anything they are interested in by clicking the boxes which identify items of interest.
Thank you for your patience.
Sincerely, Selectman Ben Thompson
