Daily FAQs
Q: Do all faculty and staff members receive the Daily?
A: Yes. As a way to orient new faculty and staff to campus, new faculty and staff are automatically added to theDaily recipient list. You may unsubscribe at any time.
Q: I'm not a Buffalo State faculty or staff member. Can I still subscribe to the Daily?
A: Yes. Anyone who's interested in Buffalo State is invited to subscribe to the Daily. Each issue includes campus news, events, announcements, and general information.
Q: What if I don't want the HTML version; will I get it anyway?
A: No. Each issue of the Daily really includes two issues: one in plain text, one in HTML. You will see the HTML version if your e-mail client is set to receive HTML messages; you'll see plain text if your client is set to read mail as plain text only. Check out managing your e-mail settings for more information.
Q: I want something to appear in more than one issue. Do I need to submit items more than once?
A: Yes. At this time, items must be submitted more than once if you want your item to appear in multiple issues. (Rest assured, this feature-add is on our list!) Any faculty or staff member with a current Buffalo State NT account may submit items for the Daily using the form available on http://www.buffalostate.edu/dailysubmit.xml.
Q: Do I need to submit items once for the text version and once for the HTML version?
A: No. Items need only be submitted once per issue. Any faculty or staff member with a current Buffalo State NT account may submit items for the Daily using the form available on http://www.buffalostate.edu/dailysubmit.xml.
Q: Can I submit photos for the Daily?
A: If you have photos you'd like to share directly with campus, you are encouraged to include them on a Web site that you can link to from your Daily submission. As always, though, College Relations always accepts photos from the campus community. Please contact (716) 878-4201 or webadmin@buffalostate.edu if you would like to share your photos with College Relations.
Q: What's a "permalink"?
A: A permalink (permanent link) is a stable URL designed to refer to a specific informational item. Without these links, Daily information (in this case) would be next to impossible to retrieve, forward, and link to from other Web sites.
Q: How come the HTML version of the Daily doesn't hold it's formatting when I forward it to someone?
A: First, when you have your e-mail set to compose HTML e-mail, it takes the HTML newsletter you're trying to forward and formats how it think it should be formatted. (Note that not being able to forward an HTML message the way you see it is a common issue.) Other factors: Receiving forwarded HTML newsletters also depends on the receiver's e-mail program settings as well as how the servers in between handle your e-mail.
Q: But I want to forward something from the Daily to someone. How can I do that?
A: You can send individuals the "permalink" to the item in question (visit permalink, copy and paste the URL into your e-mail message). When you forward the link to them, you can also suggest that they become a Daily subscriber. Under every permalinked Daily listing there's an "e-mail this" link. E-mail items directly using this feature.
Q: I'm really having trouble using the Daily and/or changing my e-mail settings. What should I do?
A: Stop by and see us in College Relations, Cleveland Hall 307, call (716) 878-4201, or e-mail webadmin@buffalostate.edu. We'll be happy to show you how to change your e-mail settings or explain how the Daily works.
