Newsletter confirmations and descriptions [COM_NEWSLETTER]

[ssdonova]

I was playing around with newsletters and realized that we don't have descriptions for them - https://qubeshub.org/newsletter/subscribe

I also wonder if user are required to "confirm" their subscription request? It seems like an easy way to loose a lot of people.

confirmation email I got: You are receiving this email because you have signed up for the following mailing list. Please confirm or remove your email subscription by clicking on one of the links below

QUBES Hub Newsletter

Click this link to CONFIRM your subscription:

They are indeed required to confirm. This is pretty standard, though, but I agree that this might lose some people.

We do indeed need to dress that Newsletter subscription page up some more. Yikes!

I REALLY want to start fixing emails coming from the Hub, as well as little things like this Newsletter subscribe page. Will have to wait until later this semester, I think.

I totally get the need to prioritize and see this as post version 1.0 of the redesign. Posting a couple of ideas here for when we are ready.

• [ ] I don't think that it warned me that I needed to confirm by email
• [ ] how about putting the browse newsletters info near the subscribe buttons.

oops! didn't mean to close.

I'll check the first issue. I like the second issue you mentioned. Did you try this on dev or on production? Just trying to figure out where you are seeing the subscribe buttons.
