Yes, I've been known to do that, too. I think it's best they remain separate - I think of the stuff for the newsletter to be my ongoing interests, where what I set on the site at any given time is my interest of the moment. Does that make sense?
Caffeine - it's what's for breakfast! (and lunch, and dinner, and...)
Yes, that's precisely what I was saying.

Currently we have two methods of selecting areas of interest on the site: a. You select your interests in your profile b. You select a category of interest using the nav bar at the top left. a) determines what goes in the newsletter. b) determines what content you see on the homepage. Should they be one and the same? Would you ever want the newsletter to have different content topics from what you view on the site? Vote 1 = They should be the same. Vote 5 = They should be different.

I don't want a newsletter... why does it keep selecting topics when I clear them?

If I selected C++/MFC, would my newsletter be empty?

Uncheck "Weekly Newsletter" and you will no longer get it.

I did, and I don't get them, but the topics still get checked for no apparent reason. If I clear them they should stay cleared.

Then it would be padded with info about the other topics? :)
