What a surprise today when I got to MyLot to discover that now we have the ability to use smileys instead of just doing a LOL thing..also if we want something bold or italicized or underlined we can. But there is one problem I'm having
When one gets notices now of discussions our friends have started, or that we get a reply to, does it seem that the print in your email is the size of a munchkin? I mean I have fairly good eyesight even though I do wear glasses but can normally see printed words with no problem except for the email notices from here
So do you have munchkin sized print in your email notices? Does it bother you?

Yes, I sure do and when I first noticed it I thought there was something messed up in my computer settings but then I realize it was only these e-mails and nothing else. I can't figure out why that changed, I can't see any connection between the print size in the email notifications and the other upgrades they've done.

Yes, I have the munchkin style print. Not only that, please tell me, Does myLot keep telling you that YOU have started a discussion, instead of the person that did? For instance, I am responding to a discussion, but my notification said, "Hello Heather, your friend gardengerty started a new discussion." I have not started a discussion in weeks!

Okay next time I get an email notice I'm going to have to see if it says that..I didn't even notice that..reading that small print is confusing enough for me

Ok today I tried like heck to reply to a discussion. I deleted all smilies, still said UNABLE TO POST, deleted all dashs, exclamation points, and even single quotes! Still, UNABLE TO POST. So after 10 tries, I gave up. It was very frustrating!!!
This mylot code is useless

Yes I have noticed that the type is real small.I wonder why and how long this will last. I bet it is like the " improvements" they did to your profile pages.

How are your email notices now? Mine seem to be okay now...I guess they have to rattle out the glitches before the system gets better, no?

Well this is such a good development. We can now add something for our emotions. There are actually words or postings that is better understand when we add our emotions on it. I usually don't print my emails so I really could not tell.

hi my dear friend,
yes, you are right that mylot adds additional features in here about emoticon which we already waiting for although the emoticons not too much in version. and i also notice that e-mail notification of our friends's topic discussion also change in font and form size. for me, this changing has two effect. i like this format size cause when it forwarded into my office e-mail from my gmail, its easily to open up rather than before but as like you said too, i wearing glasses so the font size getting little bit hard to see
and hiyaaaa, i also notice that column for submitting our response seems wider and length than before. Do you notice it too?
anyhow, its really good works of crash and friends in mylot. my salutation for them

Don't know when I'll catch up with all the changes, pyewacket, but I am having other email problems. I don't know why I chose to try the NEW Yahoo email -because I HATE IT! Now I have to go to the trouble of trying to get my old version back.

Yes! I too noticed the munchkin sized mail in my emails, and I thought there was something wrong with the computer. Its very strange. I dont think it bothers me and I am sure I will get used to it in time, my eyes are not too bad (yet) so I dont have a problem reading it.

I am late discovering this discussion, but I'll answer anyway. On the day this discussion was posted, I had the same problem that you describe, but within a day, they got the problem fixed, and MyLot was running smoothly as usual.

No, my friend, I haven't had the problem with responses yet, as I had cleared my e-mail alerts just prior to the upgrades taking place.
I don't think I'll be able to read them if the get much smaller. They weren't easy to read as it was... I was having to wear my glasses.
I love the smileys and stuff tho. Now, where's our forums and hearings?
Brightest Blessings. xxx

I just get the "someone accepted you as a friend request", and also the myLot digest. That is all I can handle because I am so busy writing my novel, learning Italian and Spanish, housework and practicing my singing that I only have time to respond to a little more than twenty posts. As for new posts, I start one and then have to find what category it goes under, and that is not easy.
I use gmail and my print is very good, and I am slightly far sighted. So it might be that you have to adjust your text size in your email. If you use outlook express, I do not know how I can help you.

Hey pye..I've been extremely busy offline so haven't been here in mylot for a few weeks. I finally managed to find time to respond to a few discussions only to open my email to..as you put it..munchkin print. I can see well with glasses on but I would rather go back to the bigger print. I love the smileys as well but I notice there still is no edit button after posting discussions.
