Members can subscribe to receive a summary of activity either daily or weekly (or never). Here's a breakdown of the elements of your digest.
Support Groups you follow
At the top is a list of the support groups you follow. Beside each group are the number of posts made in the group over the past 24 hour period (or 7 days for the weekly digest). Click a support group name to be taken to that support group's home page. Support groups that have no activity will not appear in the list.
If you follow only one support group or few groups and those groups have not had a post in the past 24 hours, you may not receive the digest that day or you may only see Events and Highlights. Keep reading to learn more.

What I really like about the Daily Digest is that it gives me a quick way to scan recent posts for discussions and groups that I follow. This is especially helpful when I see a new discussion in a group I follow.
