Good evening all, i was just wondering if you are receiving email alerts when your friends place posts? I thought is was funny over the weekend when i did not receive any emails to say that my friends had started new disscusions and i have all my friends activated so i can promptly reply. The only way now that i can view my friends posts is by logging onto Mylot and going through "discussions my friends started " So was wondering if any of you are experiencing the same problem before i go and fiddle around with my email settings??!! xx

I've been recieving emails from mylot saying that my friends have posted...so I'm not sure why you haven't gotten them. I only have a few friends, though, so it might be a problem with people that have more friends/a lot of friends.

I haven't received a notification since Thursday 2:00pm PST I contacted mylot on Friday and was informed they were working on the problem and it would be fixed shortly. It seems to be intermittent. I might suggest sending them an email, I sent another one last night to let them know the problem for me still wasn't fixed. I too can only view through the link "Discussions My Friends Started" I much prefer my way of using the email link to go to the discussion. :) All of your settings are most likely fine, it's something to do with mylot. I hope that it's fixed soon. :)

I received an email update from mylot and have been assured they are working on the problem. I to miss the notifications, I'm not crazy about the link "discussions my friends started" when new discussions start if no one answered them then they just get pushed further back, those are the ones that I like to try and answer first.

You go and rest hun, love to all xxx

I haven't received any - I only receive email notification of replies to my own discussions. I'm definitely going to go look at email settings now, though, to see if I can notification of friend posts too - I don't want to miss those. :)

I have had no problem with mine but yesterday I saw where someone else had the same problem. I had that same problem about a month ago so I contacted myLot admin and it was a system glitch. Just to be safe check and see if all your friend's notifiers are turn on. They have also had a glitch where some users notifier were switched off.

There are few members that I notified them On, and every time they are posting a new discussion, I get an e-mail that let me know about it. If I will notify all of my friends, my e-mail will explode, and my internet company probably will charge me for that :). Every time I log in to myLot, I enter to: "Discussions my friend's started", and that way I can respond to all my friends discussions.

I've had trouble for some time now; written to staff and I know they are trying to alleviate the situation; one day I get them and the next, I get nothing... I just received one, today, that was started a week ago. I hope they get what's wrong fixed soon. They do work so hard, as we all can imagine... I also have had to go through my friends, one at a time just to see if they've started anything and I haven't received emails about responses to my discussions as well... Let's try hard not to beat the staff up; I'm sure they're doing their best.

You should turn "on" your setting. Otherwise, you didn't receive email alerts when your friends place posts. Please go to "friends" on the top and choose "friends". After that, please turn "on" your setting. You should be able to receive email alerts. Otherwise, you can contact myLot.

I have had that problem since March 1. I contacted mylot admin, they said they were looking into it and I haven't heard from them since. How long does it take them to fix the darn thing it is ridiculous

It is a glitch taramoon and should be set right soon. I had a inbox full of mails to attend to since morning as I was away for the weekend, but now I realized mail notifications aren't coming in or are very slow. I got 3 private messages 15 minutes ago and got mail notifications only for 2 of them. So don't go meddling with your mail settings hon, wait up!:)

I haven't had emails telling me of friends discussions when they're posted. I usually get a huge chunk of them in my inbox the next morning, and I find that my inbox is full to overflowing, so I turned the notifications off and go through the Discussions My Friends Started folder like you do instead. It's not your email settings at all. It's a glitch at Mylots end and it seems there have been a fair few of them just recently. I suggest you hang in there though because Mylot will get round to sorting it out eventually,
