Good News: Another Glitch

I had just posted a discussion prior to this. And there is something I noticed about the notifications coming in. I received an email, saying there is a "New Response" to my discussion. But when I read the email, it's actually a comment added. I am not sure how this one happened. Of course, when we "add comment" to a response or comment, the notification email will say that it's a comment but not a "New Response". Do you get what I am trying to say? Is this something new to mylot? Are we really going to monitor our own discussions, by letting us know that there is a new comment, aside from the new response and comments to our response? If this is it, then I guess, this is a good news to everybody. What can you say, dear mylotters?

I understand what you're saying. I think the administration has gone on vacation and let the little Gremlins take over myLot. There seems to be quite a few glitches lately. The biggest one I've seen has been the star rating of everyone, or practically everyone, anyway. I went from a 10 to a 6, which I hate, only because I don't like pink! I look so much better in blue. I haven't noticed if they've fixed that yet or not but I'm sure they will. Maybe they're getting ready to upgrade again? It seems that every time they do, we have all kinds of strange glitches. Typically, I don't pay attention to whether I get a comment or response in the emails. As long as it's something new added to a discussion of mine, I'll read it without noticing whether it's a new response or new comment.

it's just maybe, i keep my email program running while mylotting, and i am able to monitor what is coming in to my inbox. when i count the number of new response alerts, my inbox says there's 12. but when i went to the discussion, there was only 10. so i wonder, where were the 2 others. when i read the entire email, one by one, there i discover that the other 2 are actually comments, not responses. i really don't know what is happening. i have this 2 other friends in my list, and i can't receive alerts when they start new discussions. i asked another friend, if she gets alerts of my new discussions, and she said no. and now, here it is, "new response" notification, when actually, a "new comment".

yes i think this is a good news for all of us specially to all active ones.. i also noticed this before and can't figure out why it's happening, maybe there are just a little technical problems around.. and i am happy it's back for good again.!!

neildc I guess it must be because I have beenat this for hours so my tired brain is fogging up but this is a comment on another comment,or what? well if we get paid for doing all of these, comments,responses, and discussions I dont really care just what they call it. If it adds a bit more to my earnings I will be a happy camper for sure. This might indeed be a very good thing. we shall see. good night, gotta get some 'sleep.

i guess there is no actual payment for this, just for members to monitor our own discussions, whenever someone commented on responses and comments... good night, patsie...

Hi Neil, well I haven't had any new comments or responses as it's morning and they tend to come in in the night. Are you saying that we now get an alert on a further comment after the original response, that's what I've been wanting ever since I signed up here. The only way to test it is to get someone to go back in and recomment again where they've already responded. Fancy checking it out on your last response to me Neil then I can see.

hello neildc, it seems that your notifications are completely back to normal.there's no doubt that mylot had been experiencing some glitches over the past few days and yours is one of them. good thing you didn't loose your account. at least you can check friends discussions before. i hope the admin at least let us know what's going on their site

no LetranKnight, i don't think they are back. yours and rberon are still not coming in. i still don't have the idea why is this happening. i also asked janebeth if she can get alerts of my new topics, and she said, "you have new topic?" because she also don't get alerts of my new ones.

Ohh, It's been awhile I didn't start a discussion so I have no idea about that glitch or changes.... That is great though! Thanks for informing us!

Hi neildc, I got the point what you are trying to convey. We are getting notification when a new response came on our discussion. Usually mylot is not sending a notification if a person who already responded and adding some comments. I have gone through the similar situation earlier 2-3 times. The notification is saying 'new response' but when I check it was a comment by a person who already responded. If it is a glitch it is a good one because there is no option to know about the comments added by a person who already responded and we have to recheck the discussion entire discussion again to find it out. Mylot is doing good mistakes sometimes.

I say, I'm not set up to receive e-mails on responses. I have enough trouble keeping up with the ones on new discussions. but one day when I have lots of time (ha!) I may test the theory!

Yes I think mylot is really sending notice of new response even if it is only just an additional comment added. I've been receiving that too. It is considered new response but actually it is just a new comment added to a previous one. I don't think that is a glitch neildc.

i am also hoping that this one is not a glitch, salonga.

Hi Neil, Since I haven't started a discussion in a long time, I probably wouldn't be able to find this out for myself. Anyhow, if this is going to be a regular thing then this is something that most if not all of us will appreciate. I hope it's not just one of those mistakes, but a permanent thing. Have a good day!

yes, that's right doryvien, let's hope this is not just a mistake and will be a permanent thing here.

I did notice about it, but I never thought about it until you mentioned about it! I have been missing some new notifications lately so, it's taking up some of my time to go back and check the discussions I started if I have received any new response or 'add comment'. Usually, I will only realize it when I check my 'unresolved' discussions for the BR, there were some comments that failed to notify me.

my other notifications are not coming too, like "new discussions started" by some of my friends. not everyone starts discussions everyday. but there are certain members in my friends list that i can't receive notifications. so, if this is another glitch, how could mylot resolve all these things now. i mean, there is still problems with other notifications, and now, comments alerts are coming in as new response. a little confusing...
