I need help. I have my mylot account set up so I receive notifications when someone responds to any of my discussions and also have all my friends set so I get notified when they post a new discussion.
Until yesterday morning everything was going great - I had special folders set up so each notification went to it's own folder and this really helped me being organized.
For some reason yesterday early morning I stopped getting any notifications. I'm using Yahoo Mail if that helps anyone who may know what is wrong. I checked the site and I can't see that mylot mail is blocked or anything and also checked mylot and there have been many many times I should have received notifications.
To all my friends if I have missed any of your discussions I'm sorry, I'm doing my best to try to track them down individually but that is very time consuming.
Thanks in advance for any help!

If it helps - i've already seen another post like this today on mylot so it is possible it's a glitch.
I use Yahoo mail too [and folders *laughs*] and my notices are still coming through. I know this is a stupid question but they aren't appearing in your bulk mail folder are they??
I know yahoo have been doing a lot of maintenance lately so it's possible that they are doing something and all your emails will come flooding through at a later date for you!!

Not a stupid question at all - that was one of the first things I checked :) Great minds think alike :)
They are coming but not like expected, all at once, their coming a few at a time and mixed in with "new" ones. Is interesting going through and checking which I caught by trolling last night and which I missed.

Hi byfaithonly, the reason for this I have put it on my discussion for members to read so if you would like to go to my profile you will see the reason why this has happened, yes you are right yesturday morning everything was working great here until around lunch time here in Austraia then it stopped. No it has nothing to do with Yahoo mail. Yes it is very time consuming but I am going through my friends list to do some of the responses from here.

LOL I also posted on your discussion - after I had already posted this, you were a few minutes ahead of me, thank you, my next step was going to be to contact mylot. I MISS MY FRIENDS - I really wish mylot had a way you could sort "discussions I have NOT responded to"...

Good to know it's back to work now, i only started using this feature today!
Another friend has started a similar discussion and she reported that mylot admin responded and said it's a bug and they are working on it.. nice to know that they read and respond to such complaints :)

A handful of us is experiencing this. Management has been notified and we can only hope that they fix it soon. I normally get all my responding done from email so this has caused me to go around on No Response, Friends Discussions, New Discussion etc to find discussions to respond to until this is fixed. Thank you for being one of them.

I think I have the same problem although my problem is that the emails are delayed .. I was checking my emails, and on mylot at the same time and noticed new responses on my discussions which I didn't get notified about until 24 hours later. Wow you track all your friends' discussions and respond them all! You're a very loyal friend ;)

If it's happening to more than one person at the same time it's probably a global error on mylot, so I suppose that it will get solved soon.

I'd make sure that you have notification service on in your friends, and then make sure that the email account that you gave mylot is correct.
If the error persists i'd get in touch with mylot administrators to try to solve the problem.

They must have a server out or something. You posted this 14 hours ago...it happened to me about 36 hours ago. I woke up, came on-line and no mail from MyLot during the night. It was a few hours before thaey all turned up but they eventually did. You'll be racing round like mad soon trying to read all the new posts and all the new responses.
