33rd / 424th District Courts

(updated 2007-03-13) There are three ways to know of changes to any of the content on this site. The differences are whether you wish to monitor a single item of content or to learn of all additions of content. The methods in detail:

• Being subscribed to an item

Any item you post or reply can result in your being "subscribed" so that you will receive an email when something is posted. When you joined this page you should have opted to subscribe, but if you did not, then click here to edit your user page and click the "auto subscribe" choice on. This monitoring function is specific to each individual item of content. Click on my subscriptions in the user block to view a list of all items to which you are subscribed.

• Using the notification function

Another, more aggressive method, allows you to be notified of ALL content additions. The system sends out updates every so many hours -- currently set at 6 hour intervals. The extent of notification desired is configurable. Under your user block you'll a choice for my notify settings from which you can make choices for:

• notify status: Turn the whole system on or off.
• notify new content: Whether to include content of the new posting in your notification.
• content: How much content to include: title only, title + 'teaser' portion, or the entire new content.
• comments: Include new comments as content, or not.

As you can see, this can be pretty aggressive if there is a lot of content being added. The following is an example of the type of email you will get:


Greetings judge,
Recent content --------------
published blog by judge: Update of the CMS software This site runs on the "Drupal" Content Management System. It is being updated to versions 4.4.0 on 4/25/04. [ node/view/238 ]

• Being subscribed to the Yahoo Groups email list. That email list is a "member" of this website and it gets notifications of content additions. Therefore, if you are subscribed to that list (the general list, not the docket lists), you may not want to turn on notifications here because you'll see the notices twice.
