At last, one of my prayers has been answered (by myLot)

I dont know whether you can remember. I started discussions and posted comments on myLot email alert system a number of times. From last week, myLot is again sending email alerts to our personal email box, whenever someone answers our posts on another person's discussion. All this time, we only got alerts when someone answers our discussions. Now we get to know as and when someone answers our posts and we can reply (if need be) then and there. This is very nice myLot. Please accept my hearty thanks. Keep up the good work.

I have to agree, its so very nice to get notification of responses to your comments as well as responses to your discussions, makes keeping up and stalking your friends so much easier :)))

Ha haa. YOu are right. But do you also notice that sometimes, we dont get all the alerts, be it a response to our post or a response to our discussion?

May be so. For instance, i am not receiving alerts for the responses i got for this discussion. I can see that cos i am on line now. I hope these things can be sorted out. But i am not complaining you know. This is a great site and i love every minute i am on myLot.

When that happens I think its just because the servers get bogged down. Or I have noticed that the notifications, are slow coming on days mylot is upgrading or doing maintenance.

Yes it is good but the system still has a few problems I have noticed as sometimes they seem to arrive and then sometimes they don't. I am not sure of the reason why this happens Sherine, but it does. As you know I am not here a lot now, but it is still nice to be able to keep track of what is happening with my friends discussions, so that when I can come here at least I know where I should start. LOL For now I will just do what I can during the times that I can come here, and that means responding to the discussions started by my friends. I think that the easiest way is to go through a couple of friends each time I come here, and do as many as possible of their discussions. That means that some friends will not hear from me for a while, as I go through each of my friends but I am sure that they will all understand. Those that do not understand will probably just delete me as a friend, which will of course leave me more time to respond to those who keep me on as a friend. LOL Good discussion Sherine and hopefully myLot will sort out the problem fairly soon, so that there is some consistency in what they are doing. The notifications are very important as the more time we can spend starting new discussions as well as responding to discussions started by others, the more page views we have which means more money for myLot.

Even i notice that ossie. In any case, i go to the discussions i responded to and check whether i have received any comments on my responses, when ever i have a little time like today. Today is a better day for me when compared to last few weeks. You have a point there about the more page views and hope myLot realizes it.

It sure is. Now we dont have to waste time going to all the discussions that we answered to see whether we got any responses.

Sherinek, you are absolutely right, mylot has started this wonderful system recently. I liked it very much and thanks to MYLOT for their efforts. To tell you the truth, I did not use to see comments on my responses, due to paucity of time...it was very time consuming to locate response I have posted to someone's discussion...and moreover even if I locate...I was not sure whether there were any comments on that. But through this new system...we get to know that who have commented on our responses.....and I find most of my dear and sweet friends do offer their comments on my replies,...which give necessary boost to me to perform better.And if need be I can add counter-comments or say sub-comments on the comments given in response to my replies to make the discussin more interesting and lively. deepak

This feature was there before the big change of mylot. I think you were not here at that time deepak. At that time, we did not have a problem with alerts cos every single one ended up in our mail boxes. After the change only we receive alerts on and off. Anyway, i am really happy i get at least a few and hope mylot will keep on developing until we reach the best. Thanks for responding and have a nice day.

I can't say I've been praying for this myself but I have thought it a great idea and when they started doing it for a short time then stopped I was very disappointed. I am thrilled this feature is back and thankful that you were praying for it. I always love to hear when God has answered prayers and best prayers are those that will help others as this one has, thank you Jesus and thank you sherinek for praying.

Wow. I dont know whether I should say you're welcome or thanks. Anyway, I am very happy that you also value this feature. Actually this was there when I joined myLot about 7-8 months ago. But with the big change of myLot, they just deleted it. Anyway, now its back, and all of us are happy. Take care.

It is good that sometimes mylot responds in a positive way. I know that it can be annoying when you want to know something but get no answer when you send a message. That can be real offputting for people and so they will often give up on mylot. I do not have every one of my friends turned on, but most of them are. So yes I too get the message into my email inbox, which can help. Sometimes I might want to go back to that discussion and make a comment but others I do not. It is good to have the choice and to know that there has been a comment on the response I have made. It saves a lot of time checking back through every response made.
