Have they fixed the email notices, yet?

Today I noticed that there were lots more people responding to my discussions. Sort of like the way it was a month ago, before the email notices stopped working. Has anyone noticed whether or not the email notices are back to working? I haven't checked my Yahoo email account so I can't be sure. It's been a nightmare trying to post discussions without email notices, because it's just random when someone finds your post. Well, that is, unless someone has actually bookmarked your profile page. However, having friends on My lot has really been a blessing. Without them, I don't think anyone would have responded to my discussions at all. I am very thankful to all my friends here on My Lot who sought out my discussions during this time when email notices aren't working. Your help is very much appreciated! If someone knows anything about this email situation and whether or not it is really fixed, I would definitely appreciate some feedback. Thanks!

I think mine is getting better but I am not sure if I am getting "all" the notifications I should have. And there is a little time lag in the emails too! I notice I checked my yahoo and I found nothing, then I would come on here and find responses, discussions, comments for myself and after a while, the emails of the "old" responses and discussions and comments start to come in. I think mine are still a little late and I am sure it's not totally fixed for me. But I am still glad that I am getting something.

It's good that they are really trying to fix things. People give My Lot lots of grief over little stuff, but they really do try to do their best. I don't envy all the tech people that would have to work on this site. It can't be an easy job keeping us all chatting. But, I do really appreciate all the people behind the scenes! They make this whole thing possible. Thanks for dropping by. Don't be afraid to send me a private message with your discussion links if I forget to drop by often, OK? I won't be offended! LOL! Most times I don't get my emails either. So, I don't want anyone to think I've forgotten about them.

Yes I wasn't too upset, I was just a bit bothered because I had to check things too manually and I felt really primitive somehow *laughs*. Anyway, I am sure they are working on it and I am really patient with them. I have a website and I know what it takes to build a lovely community. I am just happy that they really take our comments and problems seriously. Oh no worries! I am not one of those people that I would be upset if I don't see my friends dropping by my discussions. I don't really see that as equal signs. I am just happy to be around and chat. And just drop by when you have time. You must be very busy taking care your kids and checking out the writing stuff on the internet for now! (off topic: I am not an expert on Helium, but if you have any questions to ask, just drop me a PM).

Yes, thankyou! I will pm you questions about helium if you don't mind. That is if I can think of a few. I checked out your beauty website and blog and it is phenomenal! You have really put a lot of work into it and it shows. Now you're among my favorite bookmarks.

I never notice that email notices were not working. Was it a problem with myLot or with Yahoo email?

Oh, you know what! I think you figured it out. Most of us do Yahoo mail for My Lot notices, like me and at least one other friend I have. And, Yahoo is getting kind of picky on letting our stuff through. So, maybe it was just them. I may have to pick a new account. I wonder why I don't just use my Gmail account for My Lot.

I have used my Gmail account for my alerts ever since I started at myLot and have never had any problems. I set up a filter that sends them directly to a "Forum" folder so I know immediately how many new ones I have from myLot. It works quite well!

It's Wednesday, Jan. 2nd, and I just noticed my account having problems with the email notifications. I get a few once in awhile. How long has this been happening? Guess myLot management knows about this and hope it has no effect on our earnings.

Ya its true for sometime mylot email notification was not working but now i could receive emails from mylot and think the problem is now solved. The email are now coming whenever we get responses. That might be some problem with the technical parts of mylot so it may had some error but now they are fixed.

I think something has been fixed because now I am getting a lot more email notifications than a month ago. I think others are back from their summer holidays so that could be it too. I rely heavily on the email notifications and only check other discussions when I have finished replying to my friends discussions.

I don't know if I'm getting all I'm supposed to but it's been a lot better the last few days. I'm getting about a hundred notices a day but I'm thinking it should be more than that. Hopefully they've got it just about fixed.

It seems like I have gotten more email from mylot today then I have been getting so maybe it is finally fixed. I know it's been a pain.

They have fixed mine, but since mine was fixed I noticed others have not been getting theirs. I think the key is contacting MyLot.

I'm not sure if they are totally fixed yet but they are better. I'd managed to get a whole 4-5 notifications throughout the entire previous week but today I've gotten 3 so far. That's still not nearly what I should be getting but it's still a little better. I know what you mean about it being hard to get many responses while the notifications weren't working. It's just by pure luck that anyone answers. Usually several responses would come in right away with the rest trickling in later as friends got the notifications. Without the notifications I've only been getting the few responses right after I post but then the discussion gets buried under the others and no one else sees it. It's been hard to respond to discussion starters too after they comment on my response to them. I have dial up which is SO slow and it would be impossible for me to be productive on here if I spent all of my free time going back through all of the discussions I've responded to just to see if a response was commented on. I've tried to check on a few but I'm sure I missed a a lot.

Hello beautyqueen26, Many members have informed My Lot and I think they already solved the problem. I started to get my notifications slowly since a few days ago. But I still need to check whether there is a comment for me or not manually every time I responded to friends' discussions. Some I got it from my e-mail and some, I just need to work harder by checking one by one. It was a hassle when the notices stopped few days back. I was less motivated and decided to respond randomly. I hope everything will get back to normal as soon as possible.
