The users determines the hour they want to receive the digest. By default, weekly digests are sent on Sundays. They just read their digest and if there is some topic that seems of interest, they click on the topic link in their email program and start participating! They can unsubscribe at any time. They don’t have to explicitly visit the site to see what conversations are going on around there. Digests makes some phpBB forum users’ lives easier. PhpBB Digests are emails sent to users periodically with summary of postings made on a phpBB forum for discrete time periods.

Instead, phpBB expects that users will visit the phpBB forum regularly if they want to keep up with what is going on at the site or use the phpBB 3 Atom feed feature. PhpBB does not provide the ability to send regular emails to users with summarized postings on a forum.
