I haven't been receiving email notifications from all the new members who are on my list of friends. I double checked all and the notification is "on." The other members who have been on my list of friends for awhile seem to be coming through. Is anyone else having this same problem? I apologize to all the new members who joined my list and I didn't respond to their discussions.

I can sympathize. I haven't gotten a single notification when my friends start a new discussion since they changed the format some 6 months ago. I keep writing to them but they don't answer or fix the problem. I've missed so many good discussions by my friends. It's very frustrating. Hopeful they'll get it fixed someday!

Yep, all notify's are on. I feel the same way. What really ticks me off is when I find a great discussion one of my friends started and it's a week old.... shucks I miss all the good stuff!

Somehow I stopped receiving email notifications when somebody comments on my response and that's pretty annoying. I can definitely check how many people responded to my discussions but it's such a pain to search for a discussion you responded to a week ago

I am thinking there is a glitch in the program. I didn't notify myLot so hopefully they will see this discussion or already know there is a problem. This is only happening with my new friends. Yep it is a pain to have to search. Thanks for responding.

I think i have not come across this problem, because i am having all the details about the members in my list and their discussions also under the "friends started"..
I don't know you are talking about this or something else.. If you are talking about anything else, please make it clarify me, i will check it up with my profile and let you know..
Have a good day.

Carol,
I've often wondered why I get so many notifications of a few and none from most of the others on my list. A couple of times I've gone in to some of the profiles only to find they haven't posted recently. But I have a lot more people on my list that I never get notified about. The only thing I can figure is that my name is turned off on their list. I hope that's not the case.

I thought if they turned me off they wouldn't receive my discussions. I have all my friends turned on so I should receive all their discussions but am not. What's odd is the new friends are not coming through. Maybe I need to read the guidelines again. Thanks for responding.

As for the notifications, I am sometimes getting them, and many times not anymore it seems of some of my Friends notifications, etc. Many times I am sure I am missing out on Good Discussions here, but until they make this site 100% error proof, I think we have to get what we get. But maybe they will read this suggestion and a few of the other ones here people have suggested before and decide to upgrade, etc. soon in here as well.

I have so many friends and discussions to go thru that it's impossible for me to know if I'm missing any or not at this point. One of these days, I'll be able to sit here and go thru them all. I feel like I'm really out of the loop being I haven't been here in mylot much lately.

I have not received any notifications since myLot made all of the changes awhile back, carolbee. I addressed the issue with them, but my problem was never solved. I do receive notifications, however, when there is a response to one of my discussions. After a long time I just decided to let it go rather than continue to stress about it.

Up until yesterday I was receiving notifications from every one I had turned notifications ON, but yesterday and today all I've received is the digest. I think they're probably doing some maintenance on the system.

Hey carol! I only get some of my notifications. I don't know
why, but they just don't all come through for some reason. And
it's just always been like that! I have written to mylot admin
about it but nothing ever seems to get done! So you are not
alone there! There just seems to be some kind of glitch in the
system where you get some and others you just don't!

yes i think you check your settings once again. or you can wait for some time to see what happens. sometimes things like this happens. to know about the notifications you can use the my lots members home page there you can also know about your friends responses to the discussions.

Yes, I've been having this problem for some time now. Although I don't have every single notification set on there are a few of the more recent ones that I haven't received even though the notifications are on. I noticed this after going to some of my friends pages and seeing that they made new discussions that I should have gotten, but never did. Just another one of those mylot glitches, I suppose.

Hello carolbee. It is ok. No worry about this. I am glad that I can receive email notifications every day. Good luck to you, friend.
