Are you affected by Mylot time machine?

On March 13 and 14 I get tones of emails about my friend’s discussions. Some people where able to run up to 60 discussions per day. I respond to few. Yesterday I didn’t get any email notification. Today I checked discussions I respond to. One was 9 months old. How come was it in my email box as new? I shouldn’t respond to discussions directly from my email. Did anyone experience wired things for the last 2 days on Mylot?

Nothing weird. I don't even know what that is. Is it something you need to set in your profile? The only emails I get from mylot is if I have a private message. I wouldn't want to be notified of discussions anyway. I don't need any more junk in my inbox when I can just sign into mylot to see the discussions.

I used to have notification on for all of my friends. I just change it. It took me over 40 minutes to do it.

I think most people haven't been receiving notifications over the weekend myself included but I also even had problems sending PM yesterday also even though some I sent got through. Very strange things seem to be happening. I am just going through and responding as usual and waiting for it to get sorted. Have reported to MyLot but received nothing back yet. Make some extra space in your inbox for when they do start coming through again. The one from nine months ago though very strange. Ellie :D

It is very strange. Also, isn't it strange when some people start 60 discussions per day?

I turned my notifications off awhile ago. I was getting crazy mad emails. I would rather look through the discussions my friends started when I sign in here. Yes, 60 discussions started in one day by one person is crazy mad!! That person must have had alot on their mind!! :P PEACE

Since I turned off my notifications I don't have this problem. Now that I see what everyone else is going through I'm happy that I did.

I just turn it off. Too many emails and it takes to much time to read anyway...

The empty mailbox syndrome has hit us all, it seems. I'm confident that the mylot admin is working on it and soon our mailboxes will be stuffed to the gills with notices.

I feel much better today when I don't have many in my mail box. I am much better checking all discussions directly from Mylot...

After 100 emails from Mylot on Friday, it looks empty for sure. I am going to turn it off anyway.

If you responded to say a discussion from 6 months ago then someone on your list added a comment to your response it moves that discussion to the top once again. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Yep, I decided to not to be here yesterday. I believe the admin are still having trouble in configuring out and updating our e-mails, I know that there are LOST mails that I still haven't received. And as for those OLD posts, I haven't received any of them on my e-mails ye and hopefully would not..

I turned all notifications off, because I used to have too many in my mailbox. I don't have much time to respond anyway...

I have seen this happen and then when you respond to it... the topic isn't even relevant anymore... since I haven't been here in a while I don't know if it's still going on or not. Thanks Zelo

No I am not. I turned off the notification since I don't like them flooding my inbox. I respond to my friends discussions whenever I am here. I know I haven't been here much recently, but when I am here I always go to my friends' discussions first.

I have been noticing that discussions from months ago are popping up again. I think it is just a glitch in the system. When something happens the mylot people do fix it. It may take them a tad bit of time to get it taken care of but they do solve the problems as they arise.

It has definitely been weird, even for a quirky guy like me. I've received nothing (not even the daily "myLot Digest") in my email since sometime Friday. At first, I thought that I must have been putting up some pretty boring posts, but then I realized that other people were having the same problems. I hope they get things sorted out soon. On the bright side, this has forced me to hunt for postings by other members, and I've found some interesting discussions I might have otherwise missed.

I think something happened in myLot's system yesterday. A lot of people were getting no notifications from discussions, but I don't know of marking an old discussion as new. I think everything is OK now. myLot hasn't given any explanations yet, though. Is there?

LOL Hey so many people have been trying to find a real time machine.. I guess we're lucky, we found one. Actually, to be honest I didn't notice but I wasn't here much for the last few days. It's report card time and as much as I can multi task I need to concentrate on the proof reading thing. I know that there was this day were we didn't receive any email notifications at all, and then the next day i was getting all the ones I should receive on that day. But then after that I have been quite busy and didn't notice anything. I just came here for a bit today.
