Starting discussions when myLot is messing up

You haven't had notifications for over a week? Because I have, though I have not seen any postings from you. I know when it is messed up, I ONLY reply, I NEVER start a discussion because I know that those who use the notifications won't see it. I didn't know that sometimes only some are not getting notifications, I will have to make a note to check the tab with my friends more often.

Oh dear! This is one of the worst things to happen here at mylot. I dont have any notifications set today except the friends started a discussion only because I didnt want to miss out any of my friends' discussions whether I respond or not... I do read. I also know the pains of keeping the hunt for a comment/response on your box as that is what I have got used to today (courtesy: mylot's failure to send notifications some initial days when I joined, but those days discussions were discussions and I didnt want to afford missing out on such occasions - today it became a habit) but I know it is not that great... Anyways, as for starting discussions during the messed up days at MyLot backends, I have become really lazy to start a discussion these days, but I would not prefer starting one when I am certain that MyLot is not functioning right and needs some tonics and capsules to get fixed

Hi Jen! I agree with you that irregular and erratic notifications could rob the pleasure of checking discussions, comments and responses. I also get irregular notifications and it irritates me but what to do :(. I check mylot home page for updates. And the same gets more tedious when am required to check through my mobile handset.

I hear u loud & clear. Get it's hard for mylot noyt to have glitches sometime but looks like to me when they have one they could notify everyone not to post, start discussions etc.U alwaYS HAVE TO FIND OUT THEY ARE HAVING TROUBLE THE HARD WAY. tICKS ME OFF TO GET A NEW DISCUSSION WRITTEN & IT WANT GO THROUGH ETC.Hope your weekend is going good. Kiss that little girl for me.hugs.

I feel the same way. I haven't had my notifications come to me since early SPring. I miss them but have resigned myself to navigating around Mylot and trying to decipher all the responded ones and who have actually answered their discussions. It is frustrating because I find one from yesterday and last week all mixed together. And it takes forever to go through them all. I only get an occasional Mylot notification telling me my response has been deleted and why. I don't start any discussions until I feel everything is working well.

Hi Jen, How could anyone ignore you? Did I post on your last discussion? I think that often puts people off. Why I don't know, because I am not scary at all.

That was part of the reason why I 'disappeared' for a while, I got so frustrated with Mylot, to me it was slow to load and I would constantly have to copy and paste anything I typed because it would come up with an error or I would lose the response. I started to lose interest and in the end decided to give it a break. Even now I find it slow to load. I hardly get any notifications now, on average 4 or 5 a day when before I was getting dozens, does that mean all my friends have left? I have done a few discussions but again I always copy and paste, there's nothing worse than spending time, thought and effort transcribing a discussion only for the stupid system to lose it and you have to start again. Mostly I gave up!

I barely start discussions because I'm too self conscious.. When there's no participation, I think no-one wants to respond. Most often, when I do start a discussion, I'm lucky to get even 20 - 30 responses. Most of those will not be from my friends so I have to say I don't get it. Even most of those people I often respond to don't respond to my discussions. I surely don't understand a lot about myLot; i.e, how it works and why it stuffs up. I just wait till I can post again and off I go.

I don't have alot of patience so when its wigging out I give up. I find something else to do. I hope you have some luck soon with starting discussions!

hi jenintn it seems to run in spots here in the US as i am getting a ton of notifications and in other places they have the same problems as you . I like to work out of my email too bu t now have some 700 notifications backed up on me yet others in other states have the same problem as you are having.I have been starting some discussions as I have no problem here.hope mylot fixes its glitches soon.

When Mylot is messing up I usually get discouraged and just leave the site for a few days until I've heard it's been fixed again. I don't use email notifications so it doesn't bother me any. I just go through my friend's started tab and respond to discussions from there. Truth be told I have about three years of spring cleaning I need to do here on mylot though.

I do not depend on notifications although they appear in my inbox diligently. I look at my 'started' and 'responded' tabs where I get what I need to know and then ofcourse the 'recent' tab, and my favourite home page where there are so many tabs which cover most of what I require. I also look at 'interests'.

I definately share your feelings in this regard. I have noticed maybe a week later that someone has replied to one of my responses which i got no notification for and lots of replies to my discussions have not popped up on my email. Never the less i continue regardless. I have so little time on mylot i stick to a format. After i open up mylot i.... 1...Go through the "friends started" tab. 2...i reply to my "started" discussions. 3...I check and see if i have any replies to the responses i made on no.1. 4...i respond to the other tabs. 5...i check responses i have made that day. 6...i start back at no1. I guess this makes ajk111 a very predictable boy!

Honestly, I don't really care. I will just keep myLotting despite of whatever happens here; unless when I unable to post anything, or when myLot stops paying :P. Hopefully they will eventually send the notifications, even it's way late. Because it seems impossible for me to manually track all my activities here. If they don't send the notification, I might not be aware to reply back.

Yes, there are many times we do not get notifications here so if you are only checking your email it is harder to keep up. I am so far behind and quite busy lately it is very hard to keep up. I have to all the time just check for a new discussion my friends have started other Asia and always finding ones I know I have missed.

you cant say like that,it all depends ,if that mood is good you can read the notifications always

I try to be understanding though I know things do not always work the way you think they should or might. I think life on mylot can be mixed up sometimes though if you ask why it is happening sometimes get the answers you need. I know I like discussions too Jen and really have enjoyed the ones I've had. It can be very discouraging if you put something into them and don't get the results you want. There must be real reasons though. I think some people get lost, or time out or maybe confused in thier pursuits. I know when I was busy here there were times I thought I can't talk about that now so didn't and wanted to wait until I felt the urge. Well, then I would get sidetracked or forgot to go back to it. Sometimes I just wanted to listen too and think about stuff (imagine that) Now, as you have maybe noticed I've been away from mylot a lot - sounded funny! But it is true we get off on different tangents I think. You know as far as the technical aspects go maybe computers are always going to be a little imperfect but as long as they give us something reasonable then we might be able to work around it. I'll try to get back to see you soon ok... take care loveyah
