MyLot discussion...

Don't you hate myLot sending you e-mails about new discussions made by your friends? Can it be stopped? What is the feature you like the most in myLot I am very curious and what is the feature in this site that is awful? For me personally I can say that the best thing is that I can earn money and have fun answering questions at the same time - it is like chatting and someone gives you money for that. And the thing that I just hate is that there is no search in interests and when I make a discussion I can't find the interest to start with. :)

MyLot now automatically adds notify on for each new friend you have. all you have to do is to go to the friend list and turn the notify on to notify off for those friends who are just interested in getting you to join their make money programs and are not here to discuss interesting topics. You can also turn the notify off on the others who you want to hear from but would prefer to go to the Friends started list because there are some topics you feel uncomfortable with, you know nothing about the subject, and you want to keep your email box fairly clean.

You're welcome. I really should do that. I do not have notify on from my friends except for the first few who I got here recently. Much as though I love to hear from everyone who is my friend, there are some questions I cannot answer. And not being much of a sports fan, or knowing anything about sports, I am at a blank. So I usually prefer to go to the myfriends part. Oh yes and another reason I have three gmail accounts, and often times I only have time to look at one a day.

I started filtering my e-mail from myLot, because they are not a problem anymore. Thanks though.

No, I don't hate Mylot sending me notifications. I appreciate Mylot giving me the option of getting my friends new disscusion postings this way. There may not be a search in interests but you can use the Ctrl plus the F to 'find' one you have already listed in your new discussion file. Happy Mylotting!!

Why do you add friends if you don't want to take part in their discussions? If you don't want their discussions emailed to you go to those friends and turn off the notifier. It's that simple.

I am perfectly happy answering in their discussions but I don't want my e-mail account flooded. I visit myLot every day and I see the new discussions so I don't want them in my e-mail, too if you hadn't understood what i was saying :) Have a nice myLotting

Go to preferences at the top of the page, go to notifications and change them to the way you want them.

When I started I used the feature that sends you emails about my friends discussions, but after some time I had so many friends that I decided to get rid of that setting. It's too many discussions and even if I have to sit the whole day in front of the computer I wouldn't get through the whole list lol Take care.

Hi pcserver, Before this I would not be happy when I receive a notification about my friends new discussions. Especially from those who keep posting a lot of discussions at a time. But I manage to handle it by only "On" the notification on certain friends. So, I only receive notification from a few of my friends that I would most probably response too. If you did not know how to do it, just go to your friends list and ON or OFF the notification beside their picture. If you can not find a related interest with your discussion, you can create one. But I think mylot already have a lot of interest that you can choose and even mylot has 4 different interest.

beh sometimes it is not much useful this notification available here from mylot!!Surely i guess it depends if your friends started very much discussions and so you find many mals in your inbox so may be it cna be annoying if this is normal every day...
