I want you all to know that mostly I am not getting notified of your discussions, so forgive me if I miss them. I discovered this yesterday when I ran out of things to answer. I have well over five hundred friends, I know some are inactive, but I should surely get notifications on more than ten of you. Are you getting all of your notifications? Have you turned my notification off?

I went through this for a long time. In fact, I did not figure out what was wrong until one of my friend's here on Mylot told me. In order to get any of your notifications you need to put a check before all of them or you won't get any of them.

I have them all checked, Rozie, and I do get your notifications, but not all of them. I am going to check my spam folder, that is about all I can think of. After that I will let MyLot know about the problem.

Alright, I guess that you have all of your friend notifications on also. That being the case, you should certainly contact Mylot to see what is going on.

I get notifications for you but I've noticed that many of my friends are very quiet. When I get a little time I plan to see if they've made any new discussions that I haven't been notified of. I have everyone's notifications on, too! With 500 friends, you should have an avalanche of mail each day--I have about 200 friends and they keep me busy all day!!

Actually it is closer to 650, and I know some of them have left the site. Some of them have not completely left but are seldom here. Still, I should get notices from more than ten people.

I get a couple of notifications, but not many. I just started getting them recently.

I think I have been getting your notifications, at least some of them. I recall something about sitting in the sun.

You are one of the handful of friends I get notification of. You would think I would be getting a lot more, but mostly it is my most recent adds. I found one from another friend in top discussions, and she had several I did not receive notice on. That is why I started this discussion.

I found that I had to go in and turn on and off Maggiepie's notifications several times before I finally started getting them. And I have all mine turned on - and she was MY referral!

Hello, GardenGerty. I have to admit that I do not have any notifications on. I do not check my mailbox daily, I do not log in myLot often, and therefore it would just be a waste to turn the notify on. I cannot be here all the time to answer, so it would just fill my mailbox and I'd go crazy. But at least I do check the Friends Page to answer to their discussions! Respectfully, Munhozmib.

In a case like yours, I might turn off the notify as well. I am at MyLot at least once a day, so I like to get the notices.

A far as I know I'm getting notifictions. Once in a while, for some reason, notifications end up in mt spam folder. Not sure why that happens, perhaps when more than one is posting at the same time? Now I always look before I empty that folder.

I will write MyLot, and I will go in with some of my older friends and flip the switch on and off a few times, that may help.

You need to go in and add MyLot.com to your whitelist, safe list or whatever your e mail service calls it. When I had that problem with Yahoo they had updated some security or something.

The majority of my discussions hit my junk/spam box! I have no idea why since they don't have any words that I would consider spam. I usually just transfer them over to my IN box.

I am confused myself because my notification stop working except those who started many discussion in a day- i mean one person many discussion in a day, that i received but for some i didn't receive it. I am not sure if being inactive here got something to do with it because that's what all i can take of and that started when i became inactive for a couple of months.

You are pretty well describing my situation. I will have to look into that.

I turned off my notification off for now. I do it individually I have put a number of friends on notify, that is I do it individually rather then just check the notify box. I want to avoid anyone who is nasty and posts to every individual who disagrees with him for the whole purpose of getting them to agree with him The trouble is that now I have to keep all the tabs open to respond to their comments. Yours is still on.

I do get notifications from you. I have some that I am tempted to turn off from time to time, they start so very very many discussions, and they are some I cannot respond to.

I have all my notifications on but lately I noticed that I don't get their discussions in my mail. Only when I check the friends started that I realize my friends have started new discussions without my knowing it. There seems to have some kind of traffic blockage with mylot of late. I have well over 500 hundred friends and not many are actively participating here but I try my best to reach out to all discussions started by my friends if I can relate to them, I'll response to the best of my ability. The support of friends are vital here as we do not want to waste a good post left with zero response. We should all join hands to support each other in the spirit of mylotting.

I turn off the notification. But I often check my friends' discussions and try to respond to them. Besides it, I also check Today's Top Discussions. Sometimes I will even check the discussions have no responses. I love China

You get a variety of discussions that way. You always seem to find mine and I thank you.

i've noticed that i've been getting fewer notifications (i even went and turned more on!) I chalked it up to people being busy outside because its spring not winter anymore and all that jazz. I've only had on average 10 notifcations in my inbox recently. I went and checked the spam box too after seeing this post then I've headed off to the friends started section and yes i have been missing notifications!

I am not getting any from you, though. Are you starting any discussions and I am just missing them. You could be like me and start very few.

Antique lady, I get your notifications.After finding at least one in top discussions I began wondering. Once I went through about a week of all my notifications turning themself off every night. I am glad that is not the case right now, because I have way too many friends to have to turn back on daily. I am also seeing responses in other discussions from friends I have not seen in several months.

I think it is not a big problem. You can response your friend's topic, but you may to not response. I only activated for response i got for my topic. I havent activated friends email notification. I think it is not a bad thing. So keep on commenting

I surely will continue to be active here. It is a bad thing for me as I want to respond to my friends, first.

I have only been getting a few also. I have lots too. I just cannot imagine that only a handful is active. I have not turned you off.

I have figured that you were busy with the surgery and recovery of your son. Hmmmm. Tomorrow I write MyLot, as there are no discussions in my spam either.

Nope, I still have you on "Notify On". I often switch around who I have turned the notification on and whom I have it turned off for. But, I hardly get any notifications anymore because about 95% of my friends here on Mylot don't seem to be starting discussions. :(

I do not start many. Unlike a couple of people on my friend list that start twenty or more a day. I get their notifications. I wondered if they crowded everyone else out, but I guess not.

I have gotten several from you the last couple of days. I think I may have to go to my spam folder. I remember that happening for awhile, as well as my notifies flipping off.

I have every single of one my friend notifications on, but there are two people on my friend list that I don't get any of their notifications: Lilybug and LittleMel. Lilybug says a lot of people have told her they don't get her notifications anymore. If you contact mylot they maybe can fix it. I've had the case happen when I was getting no notifications for anyone. I contacted mylot and two days later it was fixed.

I think Lilybug is on my list, I will have to check. I do not think LittleMel is, although I run into her frequently. I had to add a person that I thought was my friend this week as well. I still think at one time she was on my list, but a glitch got her.

I've often wondered the same thing about my friend, GardenGerty. I hardly get any notifications and wonder if some people ever turn on notifications. I get notifications from some that have never come to any of my discussions, so I figure they either don't have notification turned on or don't comment on other discussions.
@GardenGerty (169452)

That is true. Some may just not be getting the notifications, either. I was off for awhile until I decided I really wanted to make time here, and dropped another site. I have at least two new "friends" who start billions of discussions but never visit mine.

Hey pat! I have the same problem! I have well over three hundred friends and I don't get nearly more than twenty notifys! So I don't understand why! There has to be a reason! I guess the people have their notifys turned off! I have all of my friends notifys turned on! Even if they are no longer here or inactive I still have all my notifys turned on! I have had people tell me that they have the notifys turned on and I still don't get their emails to respond to their discussions! I have no idea why?

I am going to go check my spam folder. Once, for awhile, yahoo sent most all of my notifications to spam. I am going to be unhappy if that is happening again.
