Do you Respond to Discussion through the Link in your Email?

I mostly only click on the e-mail link if it's a comment to a response, then I just click view comment on webpage, and then read it there again, and hit respond to comment. So I haven't had any problems, but I usually don't respond via e-mail, because I don't get alerts there because I read on here. I do get alerts when someone responds to my discussions or comments that I make on other discussions. So I don't know what problem you are having. I hope you can figure it out.

yeah it drives me crazy because i will answer via link in email and then i will see im the 400th person to say the exact same thing.. i think they need to figure out a better way of doing it.. its nice but not when its something that everyone would know and repeat over and over again

I usually just delete 99% of the email saying someone posted a new topic or responded to one of my discussions. I only save one - so I can go to mylot through the link.

Then when I get here. I just check the 2 sections "started" which means the discussions that I have posted. And the "responded" my responses to other peoples discussion.

It's easier for me to do it that way. But I am still learning.

Yeah, exactly, even i face the same problem, i directly go to the respond column, and i dont have a chance to see what others have written, but the main thing is, when some1 posts pics, i cant see them in the mail, so i have to drop that discussion, as i cant find it again in mylot discussions, unless its very new.

I do respond to a discussion from my email lots of times, in fact, right now. But I had never really thought about the fact I'm unable to read the other replies before responding by doing that. And, I do think the FAQ mentions reading all responses before adding our 'two cents'. Yet, they have set it up this way. What are we to do? I guess we can always resort to looking at the 'friends started' on the tab and find the discussions that way, or perhaps in 'our interests'. I know I always read the other comments once mine goes through. Maybe this is one other thing that they need to fix. Just have a link to the full discussion, not just the article written. That way we might be able to make a better response.

I do i find i'm morfe likely to respond to the discussions in my emails right away than i am to go searching them out.

I don't really have my notifications on for my friends new discussions.
I have a lot of friends now and I wouldn't be able to read them all.

But I have tried it once and I see what you are talking about. The
feature gives you one advantage though, that is being unbiased.

Because you haven't read the responses, you are responding on your
own and not basing your response on the responses of others. I think
you can respond more free when you respond from the link.

Have a nice day!

Hi there momalisa65

I have just done exactly the same thing. As you can see I am new to mylot and I replied to a friends discussion without reading previous comments and have repeated what someone else has already, how daft does that make you look? I will now go direct to the discussion and work it out from there. I am glad I not the only to have made that error LOL.

Have a good day!

i dont always check my email too often, it needs sorting out in my inbox as get too much spam also so i get fed up going through it..
i just come straight into mylot and go through myself, so i look at all of them..
then i go to others, and no response discussions, when i bored there with not finding any i am interested it, i go back to to see if friends have started any more:)
intact i going to be turning of the notifications as i getting too many mail from mylot

nah i don't experience that problem because i don't participate in discussions through email, i browse through' em, and i click only the ones that i prefer, so i will know what i am doing and not go to some site trying to find info in order to type something.
