    Is there any way for a top-level Admin to send an e-mail to all members of the forum, either in the control panel or by pulling a list of addresses and mailing manually? We have some big news in my forum, and I'd like to get a hold of members who haven't visited in a while, but I can't figure out how to do it. Thanks!

    The function is not there at the moment, but I second the idea. it woul dbe most useful as an extension.

    kaufman...hmm...name rings a bell..were you an o8er? In any case, if you need to do it urgently we can provide you with a database query. It shouldnt be such a difficult extension to write though. I think it's been discussed before.

    it has indeed, several times. We're all hoping Mark will include it as a core feature for the next rev. That way, none of us have to make it as an extension.

    Yay! In the meantime, if anyone has a spare moment to help with an SQL query, that would be great. I have a publication coming out today (on ChangeThis) that warrants an e-mail to forum members.

    @ minisweeper - I run personalmba.com, so you may know me from that.

    A SQL query to retrieve user email addresses?

    select Email from LUM_User where Email <> '' group by Email

    I really need to do this even if just for my own purposes, but I haven't had time to do it yet. And when people on here started talking to me a lot about something else, I decided to start working on that something else instead, and it's almost finished, and it's really swell.

    Is it a robot badger? That would be swell.

    If not, then I'll settle for something else from lussumo.

    Oh yes, come New Year, Mark's gonna regret naming this thing, that or he's gonna have so much material, he's just going to be overwhelmed with it :)
