The Changes Here At MyLot

Well folks, MyLot did a lot of upgrades today...LOL..I like the added smilies, and many of the new features, but for awhile there I couldn't even access MyLot, then couldn't see my profile (can now) but there still seem to be some bugs. I heard it from a friend here that the PMs seemed to be in a jumble and when the person tried to reply to a PM we had already started she got a note that we weren't friends
But now this is really weird. Apparently we are to get an email notice when one of our comments has been deleted...here's the email I got
[i]This is a notification from myLot.
Your comment has been deleted because the question it was under was deleted.
Thank you for using myLot![/i]
Uh, what comment? what discussion?...huh?
If we are to get notices of comments made that are deleted due to maybe a discussion being deleted it would be nice to know which one--as far as I can tell no discussion I responded to was deleted
Anyone else having "hiccups" here? PM problems? Whatever?

I was really confused for a lot of today...I didn't know they were doing upgrades, and I couldn't access the site at all earlier today.

aahhh...that makes sense. I was sick earlier, maybe I didn't notice? Or maybe they haven't sent me the alert yet. It was really weird...

I didn't see the alerts either since I don't come on to the computer until say after 5 or 6 p.m....but someone had emailed me about it all

Alice is already on to the PM problem. I linked you in yet another PM
I am getting those messages too. Not surprised as I have been in MEM on discussions which were bound to go - but it would be more appropriate if we knew which ones they are. It's a welcome start though!
I can't play the games. That's not myLot's fault though. Gambling sites are not allowed here in Italy

It does appear that information is missing in those notifications. I've escalated this too.

I only just now noticed the games....they do have other games though that aren't gambling types so maybe you can play them????

All the games are on the same site - WorldWinner.com - and that site is blocked in Italy due to gambling laws here None of them are accessible.

It sounds to me that the mylot Staff aren't sending automated messages as if they were automated you would think it'd say which discussion, and which comment as many people make many comments on a single discussion.
I'm trying to update my profile and can't, as well as there was a fluke (not sure if there still is) with the new friend's sorting. The older friends were being showed as newer and vice versa.
I also asked Alice a question but she has yet to respond, I think she must be using an email client to get all of the responses as well because she flip flops around on the discussion she started about the changes.

LOL-yes GoAskAlice you certainly are busy today
@SomeCowgirl...I haven't really looked at my friend's listing yet so don't know if my friends are listed differently now--I did just look now and it seems to be okay--uh, I think

I changed my friends list to list them alphabetically now so I can actually find them all. It is great!
Alice is popping all over the place and it is nice to see an Admin present....finallly. It makes a huge difference with the spirit of the place, don't you think?

I am still getting them now it give the title of the Discussion but so far none of the titles ring a bell. At least they are trying and I think somewhere I read that the discussions quoted goes back about 3 weeks. I can't remember what I answered three weeks ago.

i've noticed the drop down list expands briefly when you first sign in mylot..well,in firefox anyway.kind of annoying til it settles itself.
i'd gotten a couple of the delete things too.at least i can be sure something's missing tho.sometimes i look at the number and go "did it go down?"

yea,me too.not so much crashing,but some of my plugins won't work if i upgrade.
it's been pretty stable for me,compared to IE..but i guess it depends on a lot of variables.

I keep getting a pop-up here to tell me to upgrade my Firefox--I've heard so many horror stories from others who have like their computer crashing all the time, so think I'll skip the upgrading part

I got that same email! And yep I am just as as you my dear as I have no clue as to which comment let alone discussion it was from.
I do enjoy the fact that when you respond to a comment that has another comment on it,like when your friends respond to their friends,you see the whole comment not just the original posters. I also enjoy the new smilies.

Oh my yes I have had to have two tabs open so I make sure I point out everything I wanted to or how to spell a name correctly so this feature for me is an awesome one. And the smilies are good too

I got the same deletion message, and I wondered the same thing. I decided that since I had to get up at 4:30 a.m. to take Bill to surgery my brain was too foggy and I may had responded in my sleep! I do like the addition of the smilies...hopefully they'll let us use a few more of them.
Seems like every time that something is changed or improved you have bugs and glitches. As it has been said, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

I like all the changes as sit is a very good improvement. It is good to see mylot is keeping up with things, and thqat iw what makes them such a great site, and I am gload I am a part of it. I feel that changes are good, especially these changes. there are a lot of different changes, and I am so pleased with them. I won't mention about the notifications, just to say, I knwo it will all be worked out. There have been plenty of disucssions today on the notifications, and I am sure htere will be moe, and I hope they aren't all deleted as they are all about the same. I have had 3 of them, and nto worried about them at all. Mylot is up on things, so in time we will aknow why there were deleted. good luck to you and hapy mylotting.

So far no hiccups here but then I haven't been on mylot for a while either.
I did get the notices tho and I am hoping all goes very well.
WE will all see and let's all be patient as they had a lot of work to do in a short length of time.
God bless us all !!

Apparently my yogurt discussion starter was in violation because it was poling/game type question. When they delete your discussion starter, that entire thing comes up. But not the response ones. So one discussion starter down. But the answers don't say what or which or why. I had 6 of those. So basically, half of what I did yesterday was for nothing as far as money goes and all those things I wrote are gone-whatever they were. I think 6 is a lot. So I'm not sure which 1/2 was deleted. It's interesting that the yogurt one was deleted because I worded exactly the same way as one of the ones in the daily top except that it was about yogurt instead of something else.

GoAskAlice has a discussion up for any problems you are having. I got ride on and haven't had any problems or hiccups. Things going smoothly here. I hope the problems you are having work themselves out for you. I really like the changes too and hope we all enjoy them down the road.

I’m so glad you posted this Pye because I have received the same messages and could not work out which responses I had lost. I received about five but unless I am mistaken my tally has not gone down. It would be nice to know which post has been deleted. I can also see that Alice is on to it so hopefully it will be rectified. I haven’t had any other problems so far, mind you I haven’t sent any PMs or anything as yet and I haven’t checked out the games yet either!

I did check out the games but the hiccup there is if you want to win money you have to have a paying account...don't think so...LOL. Besides I like playing the games over there-------------
You know what I mean
