Have you ever turned off your notifications?

My notifications about friend's started discussion is turned off. I do not changes settings in my notifications. When i signed up years ago, other notification like if someone responded or commented me, someone messages or friend request me, it is turned on. Yesterday, i turned on all friend notification and when i open my inbox mail, lot of discussion was started by my friend, i do respond because of the notification, but my inbox received many messages from mylot and i am thinking to turned off it.

I have all mine turned on, but you can pick and choose which friends that you wish to here from. all you have to do is turn the notification off That is the first thing that i do each day is go to my e-mail so i can respond to any of the discussions that my friends have started. I only respond to the ones that i believe that i can add too. but 70 notifications from one person is a bit much, and if that happened to me i would have to think about it. It would depend on if the discussions were in a category that i have a interest in.

I have my system set up to receive notifications under two conditions: 1) someone responded to a discussion that I started 2) someone responded to a response that I wrote. You can always see the discussions your friends start under the "Discussions" tag, as well as discussions started under one of your interests.

Since it's the same friend starting around 70 discussions in a day, ask yourself this..Are they quality discussions with some thought to them or just your basic one-liners that require one or 2 words to answer. If the 2nd, then maybe you could alert your friend to the fact he/she will end up with a whole bunch of discussions deleted because it's a violation of mylot rules. I've only turned off my notifications twice. Both times it was because I lost my internet at home or my computer was acting up. I turned them off so my inbox wouldn't be clogged with 100's of discussions. Most of the discussions I respond to come directly from my inbox. Rarely do I get bored enough to go seeking them out here in mylot.

I have my email nofications on, but I never ever get that much as far as notifications are concerned. I basically get notifications that my response was commented on. I don't get any other notification. I never know when my frineds start discussion, as I have so many friends that I would be reading discussions for ages. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

I have turned on all of my notifications . But I am not receiving any notifications regarding the discussions started by my friends..Also this is not necessary to receive notifications regarding the friends discussions If we have 100 friends in my lot and if they start at least two discussions, then who many mails we need to receive..I am getting mails only for the responses to my discussion and about comments, friend request etc.,only.I feel this itself is enough to locate the discussion and participate easily by following the link in the mail.

Honestly? I've never had my notifications on to begin with. I have way too many friends and I do not need to sift through 100 notification emails a day simply because my friends started a discussion on what toothpaste to buy. It's just a huge hassle to me. I'd rather come to Mylot and actually read them here and spare my email account.

Hi Seppy. No, I don't have all of mine on. I only have a certain few selected (yours included). If I was to have every one of them turned on I'd be bombarded with emails. I get more than enough as it is, and with everyone else I search through mylot directly though the "discussions my friends started". Hopefully this doesn't offend anyone, but it works for me. I couldn't see turning them all off, but I have turned some off after getting a ton of discussions from particular users where I couldn't relate to any of their discussions. Ironically, I have a few where I I know I turned the notification on, yet never received a single notification when it comes to them starting discussions. And I know that they started new discussions because I find them here on mylot.

I have the s ame problem. I get so many in each day it fills my box, I do go in and read all the discussions, I try to reply to as many as I can given I am in a retirement home and have to stop for meals, etc, etc. I am thinking too of shutting off the notifications as I do respond any way and i have to do a lot of deleteing each day. God bless and good luck.

Mine is turned of and will remain off. My inbox was filled with too many notifications. If I want to respond to a friends discussion then I will just do it from the homepage. I just refuse to have that happen again.

Mine were never on for some reason. And i manage fine. Takes a bit of effort to go and check the discussions but thats all. Saves getting loads of emails and having to sit and delete all the emails, saves time! You can always switch it back on presumably if you dont like it!

Some of the friends notifications are off. well, some of the discussions by the same user are too many for me to reply upon and probably might low my chance of earning high because i kept replying to the same interest over and over. i will go back to my friends list later so that i can turn them on..

I know what you mean. My inbox is full of such notification mails. I have now disabled the notifications. My take is anyway I will log in to mylot and check who said what. So why should i allow my inbox to get full?

Yes i have often turned of my notifications as other more important e-mails were starting to escape my notice. And my inbox was becoming very cluttered.

Was shut down not a good thing, you made a mistake should be good communication between you and the administrator, should be open.

yes i had to turn off my notifications today because my email is down because i get so many comments and things from here and other places! and its really upsetting because thats my offical email that i get all my important stuff from. so i might not never have notifications again sent to me email. really said because i like hearing comments from people. i wish mylot would make something where you can get notification here on this site in not flooded in your email.

well..its just a week on my lot...and i really havent experimented any change of settings..i don think so im gonna turn off notifications coz they really are of help notifying my friends' activity and the responses or comments i get..so discussions are updated well organised...so i dont look forward to turn em off
