I've noticed something and now know it isn't just me so I'll share and find out how many of you are having the same issue. I have 12 pages of friends. I have all of the notifiers turned on. I get a number of discussion notifications everyday but I don't get as many as I should. I've noticed that several folks have posted things that I wouldn't have known about if I hadn't stumbled onto them. I then thought maybe the notify thing had reset some to off... nope that wasn't it. So if you notice your friends are quiet, do some checking to see what they've been up to. Best to you all.

I have all mine turned off but I still get a few through. I have 25 pages of friends and another 6 pages pending from people who just fancy me. Sweet isn't it? LOL. I trawl through "Friends started", that's how I found this one. If I had all my notifications on I'd have the inbox from hell!

Oh please don;t say that - have you seen how jam packed my inbox is with email notifications??? You mean I have to go looking too! I don't know I disappear for a week and it takes me weeks and weeks to catch up! Hmmmph! Ps You do know thatif the other person doesn't have notify on for you you won't get notifications for their discussions even if you have notify on for them? I know that some of my friends cannot have notify on as they feel swamped and I never get any emails for their posts even though I have notify on for them! xxx

I didn't know that.... and it only took like 16 peoples to figure it out... though I think one other (Tammera maybe?) tried to tell me but I missed what she meant. As for WEEKS of making it up... that's what you get for leaving us for so long. *pouts cutely*

I am not sure if I got your point right but in my email, I get notified about some but don't get with some. If I hadn't checked, I would have missed responding to some that I should have responded to. Hehe....I hope I got what you meant.

Oh no, it wasn't you, it's me....my mind was so clogged up yesterday that I couldn't seem to absorb what people were saying! If I could offer help by writing the admin too, I would. Would that do?

Yep you did... sorry I wasn't clearer. Lucky for us.. we now know it's not just us. A few of us have written the administration just to see if they even knew it was an issue. I'll let everyone know if I hear something.

Not if it's becaus eboth parties has to have it on for it to go through as suggested by a couple of people who have been here longer. It would be nice if someone wrote that in the information somewhere though. *shrug*

Hi Chimes. I have been having that same problem for weeks. All my friends notifiers are set to "on" but I do not get all of them. I have been late into many discussions because of it which is a real shame. So I always have to check the for discussions that I might have missed. Do you think it is worth mailing the myLot admins about it ?

I turn on all the notifications, notice to the discussions from friends or other people. a little late to get it through email, and open many tabs in my browser to find out.

I had notify's switched off for around 2 years or so because the emails drove me crazy, but about 2 months or so ago, I turned them back on because friends kept asking me to. I don't pay much attention to them though as I have a habit of looking in the "friends started" lists and I also check profiles of close friends regularly for their discussions as well. All I do know is that if notify;s are to work both ways, then BOTH people concerned must have requested notify's for each other, but even this isn't 100% accurate either as I have a number of friends that never receive notifications of my discussions even though we both have notify's on. Mylot has it's own Bermuda Triangle I think.

Yeah, it also has a ghost who double posts. The Lot has all kinds of paranormal activity - Ghosts, trolls, and panda spankers. Great place!

I think we can thank the "glitch" here. I have a LOT of my friends notices turned on as well and NEVER get email notices when they start discussions and don't find out if they have or not until I come here and poke around the "friends started" pages

That's how I noticed was several of you had started things I hadn't seen until I was wasting time while talking to the jerks at unemployment. (I killed like 3 hours) I was kind of peeved and thought it was my settings but after trying to fix it I figured it was MyLot wide. I miss some interesting and fun things that way.

my notifiers are all off . I just respond to discussions as I come across them. If I had them turned on, my e-mail would be overloaded & overwhelmed.

LOL.... I'm lucky... most of my friends are old timers who have theirs off... like you, or who don't post overly often. There are a few people who post a lot but if it gets stupid, I turn theirs off. I'm learning a lot from you guys.

So far I can answer what comes into my box. I don't answer things that I just can't add anything to. But I really was noticing that things were be missed and I worried that I had my settings wrong.... Thanks goodness I'm not alone.

i have quite long list of friends here at mylot but now a days i notice that most of them are off and might be they have taken a break or migh be they were here for a short time and may be any of the reasons and hence i feel that that is why we dont get any comments from them. may be few people are always online and also from a long time but all cant have a same possiblity and might be each one have some or the other workor they get busier with something else. if i take the example of myself i am coming to mylot only a fewer timer and i am not able to do mylotting as i did it before due to my own persoal reasons. i hope you agree with my response.

I actually noticed a friend had posted something and I found it by accident. Then I got a message that I didn't know about until about three minutes ago. I had checked my settings thinking that it was something on my end but it's all set to let me know so.... I don't mind folks having other things to do.... I know I sure do. I do worry if someone who is often here goes missing but usually someone will let us know what's up.

I try to hang out here for a bit each day or so but we tend to be busy here. Mine are on but I'm learning who to have turned on and who is a waste of energy.

Hi TLChimes, I did notice a while ago that I haven't heard from some my friends and then I notice them somewhere else, I had to send them pm to ask them to check on their nortification to see if I am turned off at their end, they came back to me to tell it was off and turned them back on, it does happens now and again so it is good idea for everyone to check their friends list.

Hello my friend TLChimes Ji, I too have experienced similar thing in past several time. but then I further understood that it had combined more than one in common folder for same member. Suppose, you have posted more than one discussion/response/comments, it may be available under one place. Sometimes, after responding to first I may delete the rest. I might not be very clear. May god bless you and have a hreat time.

Your e-mail may not get them all so if you know certain friends post and you aren't seeing them, check their page or the Friends Started tab under discussions. And some folks are getting mad because people aren't answering theirs but it just could be that people aren't seeing them.
