That we are not receiving all the notifications for more almost a week now?
That even if there are new discussions started by our friends, we are not notified and we just came to know that there are new posts from the homepage?
That if we are not receiving all the alerts, we are losing earnings?
Aren't you gonna talk and complain about this?

hmmmmm..... I just joined today. So, I can't really offer any insight on this. It is something worth noting though! what have the Heads here at MyLot told you? surely you've contacted them about it?

Hi, neildc. I am sorry to hear about this. But I don't check my notifications at all. I will just come onto myLot to see what all discussions that my friends have started. I have no particular friend that I want to see post a discussion, so I will just comment on any when I log onto myLot. Even if 100 friends of mines made posts, I still would be unable to post a response to all of their discussions. So, it really would not make me any difference. For others, it would, and I am very sorry that I can't change that. Hopefully, myLot can since this is causing problems into being notified and earning money.

yes cream, it is really possible to respond to our friends discussions through the homepage. but to someone who depends on the alerts, to make sure that he misses no discussions, it will mean a lot. especially, if you are not able to come here for a day or two.

actually, i really never wanted to start this discussion or report the matter. i thought this might similar to some discussions already posted and might get deleted later. i just tried to get the attention of the others and also of the admin. i already see that there are really certain people who have this problem and i hope it will be fixed very soon.

Hi Neil,
That happened to me a fews ago and I wondered what has happened, it is really annoying and time consuming to have to go over to the home page to find new disussions from friends, hope it will sort itself out for you soon, hugs.

I do not have any problems with the notification, I received a notice every day in my email. I also always wait for notification from Mylot, but I do not have to wait, because every time I open the email, a notification from Mylot already exists in my email.

yes, that's what happen when you are not that active or you are constantly checking your emails. i mean, if you are checking the emails everyday and you are connected to your email program while doing the Lot, you will feel that you are missing some alerts. and that is my case, i have multiple pages or tabs open. one for email program and the others, mylot pages. you can see how it works when you constantly checking or refreshing your mylot homepage where you can see the list of new discussions from your friends.

Hi neil,
The problem was there before a week and now it is working well. I think that time; we Indians faced the problem much. Now it is your turn, I think. Please no need to worry the administration will sort out the problem very soon. Alice is watching all of us.
I know it is annoying when not getting notifications about friend's topics. At that time I also checked the home page to know about friend's topic. Even now I am keeping the same habit of checking home page if there is any missing notification.

at least now, here you are telling me that this is a glitch. last week it was yours and now is our time. yes dear friend, it is really bothering to get less notifications than the actual number of them that we should be getting. i have been doing the same habit as you have since the time i experienced this, for about a week now.

In my case my friend it is not happening at all. I've been receiving notifications regularly actually so I have nothing to complain on this issue. I wonder why you are not receiving your notifications? Well in order not lose money then you can always go to your friends's discussions and select which ones are worth being commented.

HI neildc.. I haven't been around mylot for months already but still I continuously receive email noitfications in my mail.As for the earnings I didn't notice anything. I left around a dollar the last time I logged in the site, and as of today, it is still the same. How's mylot doing lately? Any other glitches?

mylot will forfeit whatever earnings you have got if you are inactive for 90 days i guess. if you fail to at least log-in once within that period, whatever you earned will be lost... i think you missed a lot of things, new features. have you heard about the mylot Rewards?

Due to numbers if notifications received , i hardly notice the problem you did encounter. One thing i noticed though is the delay between the notification after a discussion is posted. There are times that i already responded to a discussion but haven't received a notice in my email yet. So far i don't have any complaints since i have a lot of notifications coming and i can't seem to respond to all of it.

it is not that i totally not receiving any notifications, but not all of them are coming. some comes and some do not come in. out of the last ten discussions my friends started, there was only 2 or 3 that i was alerted or notifications came in. even within this thread, not all have notifications i received through email. so i just keep every page open and refresh them once in a while to see if there is new post.

one thing i would agree, that you seem not to notice it cause you are still flooded with notifications and other emails, you haven't finish reading and attending to all of them. i can understand the delays, but a day of getting no alerts is something i cannot understand.

Its not happening to me, all my alerts are comming through, have you checked your friends page? maybe you accidentally changed it so that your alerts arn't comming through, if you cant figure it out send a message to mylot and ask if they can help you with this matter, i hope this helps :)

This is something you need to let admin know about. Go to the bottom of the page, contact button, when asked about the problem on the drop down menu choose other and then tell them what you are having happen. It happened to me two weeks ago, but it is better now.

I have been a member here for over 4 years and this problem comes up periodically, admin, needs to be notified of the problem so that it can be fixed. The problem doesn't always affect everyone, I'm not a technical person so I have no idea how it does or doesn't work, just that it can be a problem from time to time, but it doesn't always affect all. For me it's a problem because I go through my emails and respond to discussions from friends, I rarely use the intersts sections to find discussions. Advise admin of your problem and sit back and wait for them to fix it, they are usually great at fixing problems. Happy Mylotting!

thanks for the suggestion. i wish i have the guts to do that.
anyway, the problem continues on my side. i just changed actually the email address i set with my account and will observe for days if the same problem will occur. after which i will inform the admin and hope it will get fixed.

Hmmm.. I'm not experiencing not receiving all the alerts because I am receiving mine on time and instantly. Perhaps there's a problem with the internet connection in your area or you may need to refresh your browser for the moment.
I don't think we're losing earning when the notifications doesn't come in because it's already posted there in the site. The notification is just there to let you know that someone has responded to your discussion.

we may lose or our earnings will go slow when we are not receiving all the alerts. and i know that when someone response to our discussion, we are being notified. but your response was not alerted to me through email. i know they are not coming, the homepage is always open here and i always refresh it so i know there are new posts from my friends too. but there was no alert.

well, good that it is working well on your side. GardenGerty responded to my PM to her earlier. i never knew she did cause my email program is also open everytime i mylot, and there was no alert of a new message. i just noticed there was a new message from the messages tab.

At this point, if that were to happen again I would not complain because I have 800 and some emails that I am trying to go through and clear out before it goes back up again as it has been doing.

I’m in Australia so I tend to respond to notifications a little later but as far as I can see I am receiving all my notifications on time. Have you reported this problem to admin? It may happen that there may a slight delay from when the discussion was started to when we receive notification but aside from that I have no problem. My advice is to send a message to admin.

I never had an experience like. I always received all the discussions of all my friends.
Even the comments of all the comments that I've commented. I can say that there is no alerts that I did not receive.

not all posts we made or received in our own discussions are being notified to us. but this one, your response should have been notified but there was really no email came in.

I don't have any idea, what I know all the notifications coming from mylot I received it all. Just like this comments I received it in my email.
There is no need for me to complain about the notifications alerts, because I believe that all the necessary alerts and notifications I received it in my email.
