• Subscriptions: Users can specifically subscribe to newsletters, separate from site membership.
• Usergroups (Conversr only): You can send newsletters to members of specific usergroups, regardless of their newsletter subscriptions.
• CSV imports/exports: You can import subscribers from a CSV file or export your subscriber list for custom targeting.

• Set up SPF records: SPF (Sender Policy Framework) helps verify that your server is authorized to send emails from your domain.
• Ask users to whitelist your email address: Encourage recipients to add your email address to their contacts list or "Safe Senders" list.
• Configure DKIM: DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) adds a digital signature to your emails, increasing their legitimacy.
• Use a reputable email service provider: Consider using a third-party email service if you're struggling with email deliverability.

• Server issues: Your server might be on a spam blacklist, or there may be problems with your server's reverse DNS or HELO settings.
• Content issues: Your email content might trigger spam filters due to factors like an unreasonable image-to-text ratio, broken reply-to addresses, or inconsistent text and HTML versions.
• SPF records: Your "Website email address" might be hosted on a different server with an SPF record that doesn't authorize your web server to send emails from that address.

• Visibility: Some elements might need to be hidden or displayed based on user roles (e.g., admin-only links).
• Permissions: Design elements and interactive features should reflect the permissions granted to different user levels.
• Customization: Consider allowing users to customize their experience based on their preferences and roles.

• Mobile mode: You can design separate layouts and CSS styles specifically for mobile devices, which Composr automatically activates when a mobile user visits your site.
• Tempcode's 0 symbol: This symbol helps conditionally display content based on whether the user is on a mobile device or desktop.
• CSS media queries: By using media queries, you can target specific screen sizes and adjust styles accordingly, making your theme responsive.
• Viewport meta tag: This tag controls how the browser scales and displays the webpage on mobile devices, ensuring a properly sized and zoomable experience.

That depends on several factors. Here are some pros and cons of each:

It is not recommended you do this because you may run into issues. For example, some changes were made in crypto_master.php and data/upgrader2.php prior to the first v11 alpha. These changes will result in a broken upgrade unless you already pulled these changes from git. Similar situations could happen in the future as well.

It is recommended you either discard the git install and use a fresh install from the Downloads, or to maintain a git install and a bleeding-edge release install separately. Do not combine the two.
