No notifications

Hi friends, I posted a new discussion today and even got responses. But I did not know that till I came here to check. This is because I am not receiving any notifications to my email. I am really happy that the site is up and running without any issues. But I cannot fathom what happened with the notifications. Has anyone else been facing the same problem as me?

Same here.. Hope that mylot would be back again with no other issues and problems. I also have to look at my profile and see if updates are existing. But it is hard to know if you have follow-up comments in other discussions other than yours. Mylot should also integrate comprehensive notifications in the site itself.

Absolutely true my friend. They should really look into this and resolve the problem. It is difficult to keep checking back on my profile to look for new comments.

It would be better if the notifications will be seen in our profile like any other social networking sites. That would lessen their processes maybe..

Absolutely agree with you. You have mentioned a very valid point.

I'm not getting any notifications either, not even the daily MyLot Digest. I went into my account and confirmed that those setting have not changed (they didn't), I even saved the changes again to no effect. I guess is that is one aspect of MyLot that is still not functioning properly.

Yes I think it is due to some problem that the site is facing. Even the banners on my and many other members' profiles are missing. I really hope things get sorted out soon.

Same thing here. I have responded to no less than 7 discussions since yesterday, and it just didn't make sense that I have not received any comments and notifications. So I came onto myLot and checked; sure enough some of my responses already had comments. I think this problem has something to do with the storms happening in the US, and most members are already aware of the issues with the site that myLot promised quadruple earnings for the first few days of July. I feel myLot has too much on their plate to deal with at the moment, and this notification issue is probably another thing that has to be dealt with. Let's just hope the myLot team has the patience and support to handle this rough time.

Yeah, my earnings are only showing July 1st and July 4th, and nothing on July 2nd, although I know for sure I did post some responses on myLot on the 2nd as I was trying to get a hand into that quadruple earnings. Oh well, I just hope myLot has the backup to track down all the activity on the site for July 2nd and make the necessary payments; if not, I can foresee a backlash of wrath from myLotters whom perhaps poured most of their day into posting on the site!

Yes indeed friend. Hope everything gets sorted out ultimately. A lot of things have happened actually. My earnings for 2nd July have been wiped out. Did the same happen to you? I lost close to 2$ from my earnimgs.

It happens to me from time to time and has just happened again. So now I've just done what I usually do, which is to go to notifications in my profile, untick all options and save, then retick the ones I want and save again.

That has happened sometimes to me. It usually happens when mylot is having some tech problems. I keep my eyes on the discussions that I have begun to see whether I have gotten a response or comment but not been notified. I also will check on those discussions that I have responded to in case I got a comment back but was not notified. I have not begun any discussions recently because I have been traveling. I have responded to a few and have received some notifications that my response was commented on. Didn't mylot have some issues this past weekend? Maybe notifications are still affected. Just to be safe, I would monitor my discussion checking on whether you have not been noticed of new responses beginning with mine.

Yes I am doing the same thing as you - going back to my profile and looking under the discussions to see if more responses have come in. Are you still traveling? Means are you accessing Mylot while traveling? That is interesting.Yes, Mylot had significant issues the past weekend which is why they even announced quadruple earnings for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. I suspect the same- that it has affected the notifications. Hope everything is back to normal soon. I really love this place.

Hi, It is in the last few hours that I got flooded with notifications. Seems things are on their way back. Glad to hear you enjoyed a lot. Our school hardly organizes reunions.They don't want to spend money.

I am home now. I was in Boston for my 50th high school reunion but returned home on Monday. I had a great time. I think that mylot is still having issues. It is only this evening that I received notification that you had begun this discussion even though I responded yesterday or earlier today. Also, I never received notification that you had commented on my response. Furthermore, I am still having trouble responding or commenting on some discussions. When I try to respond to discussions on the left side of the home screen, I still do not get the box to type in.

Hello oindy54 I had this problem for awhile, too. I also had the problem of getting 199 notifications from one of my myLot friends as if they started 199 Discussions!! It seems there were a lot of problems with myLot this week. In the past, I haven't gotten many of my notifications and I don't know why. I get a few, but not all. It can be frustrating. Peace

It has always been that way for me since I joined myLot this time. Hopefully it will be fixed.

I wish myLot will stay healthy forever. It is bad  - I wish myLot will stay healthy forever. It is bad when myLot is offline.
I also did not get any notifications earlier but it seems that the notification feature is back in order. What I did was to go to my profile and check all my responses to see if there are new comments posted. I am just glad that myLot seems to have got back to what it should be. Pray it will stay healthy...

Yes, things seem alright again. I am getting all notifications too for new comments posted on my discussions or for follow-up comments on my responses. I just hope I can put back the banners on my profile again since they don't seem to be working and the previous ones have disappeared since Mylot had those problems.
