Just include a different token in each individual mail, and request the token be returned before you send the next mail. That will dramatically reduce the workload.

One thing that is a possibility, is only sending out an email for forum posts that have not had any responses in a certain period of time. However, this might also mean the posts could possibly be from forum spammers.

Could put off the necessity.

Your sig suggests an alternative ending - If you open a can of worms, don't serve it to Mustafa.

With Yahoo Groups you can also ask to have all new posts grouped in a daily mail. This could be a starter solution.
I don't read the newsletter because there are just too many articles (and also because I visit CP daily) but I would appreciate to have a daily summary.

I think the OP's idea was that he wanted notification of a new thread so he could run off and answer the question quickly thereby increasing the chances of becoming an MVP/maintaining MVP status.
My less cynical reasoning would be that it is to ensure that questions get answered quickly, thereby aiding those asking the questions.

I didn't used to be this cynical. I only became this way after moving to Glasgow. While the folk here are very friendly (at least on the surface) I always get the impression there is an alterior motive.

You're in the right part of the world to be seen as a "walking wallet". 
Even southern and eastern Africa wasn't as bad.

There's that 'i' icon again  It looks like an iFrame that tried to load a page and errored out.
I did a little mobile icon for you guys to go with the monthly competition one, if you're interested in using it. You can find it here[^]. There's a large version and a 24 pixel drop-in replacement for the 'i' icon.

Currently each article has a Send to a friend button at the top, and a bunch of buttons at the bottom for Digg, Del.icio.us, etc. I suggest you just have one Share button at the top, with a drop-down menu. See http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/[^] for an example.

I've seen the small 'Share' links you mentioned (but not actually on that page) and was thinking exactly the same thing.
Something like Add This[^]?

I found this interesting one when checking Vikram's profile.
On his profile page, it says he has two articles whilst his article list says only one article.

Hi,
I have published 5 articles so far, and started preparing a sixth one a month ago (using the publication
wizard). Ever since my article count alternates between 5 and 6, it seems to me different servers use different algorithms to count them (and/or the CP team is changing the code all the time ).

Thanks for reporting.
I will investigate the issue, and will provide the explanation,
or open the bug tomorrow.
Sincerely,
Elina
Life is great!!!
Enjoy every moment of it!

Hey Mustafa,
Dr WJB's profile shows 2 articles, and there are 2 articles listed in his article list. Note sure if Elina fixed this overnight.
