is there any way to change the frequency of the email notifications about updating joomla...
it is a great feature and Im glad its there, but between the multiple sites its driving me insane

one notice in 24 hours is plenty... not one an hour ( I know its not that frequent but is sure feels that way)

is there a setting somewhere some place I cant find to slow this down?

You cannot change it. It is three times per day (every 8 hours). You can only completely disable it by disabling the relevant plugin.

I cant speak for anyone else on this but I have multiple websites I use admin tools on &
as a result every 8 hours feels really excessive, 24 or 48 would be fine, or MOST preferably the option to be notified only once.

I had a business person I have it on their site in my face about the 9 emails they had over the weekend, and thats what got me asking.

I just leave the notification in my inbox and get to it when I can, I dont want to turn them off because I do find it to be a really valuable tool. but 3 emails every 24 hours x 20+ sites.... you can see how it would get old.

Can a one time announcement be an option down the road?

Would anyone else like to weigh in on this as an option you might like to see?

As already announced, this feature is going away.

FWIW, the idea behind repeated emails is that 90% of new Joomla! releases are security releases. Every minute you delay upgrading your site you are vulnerable to a now known attack vector.
