for not answering alot of resposes until just now. I have had a love/hate relationship with the Mylot notifications for a couple years now. I would get them for awhile and then suddenly they were gone. THis has happened probably about three times in the past year alone. So now I have had them for quite awhile and I usually am on Google answering them daily. I just happened to go over to Mylot to check and see if there were any responses to the discussions I had started that I needed to answer. Well there were quite afew. I get the impression that the notification mechanism(whatever it is) picks and chooses which ones(very few) they will send over to my google account. I do apologize for it taking so long. Have you had similar experiences?

I haven't received any notifications for nearly 17 months. It makes life so difficult here at Mylot

I am backlogged beyond all reason. but it's not due to not getting notifications. I just didn't feel like it the last week, week and a half. But I"ll get to it eventually.

Yes, I have. I sometimes get notifications and sometimes not. I try to come and check now and then, but I depend on my email for the most part, to keep up on things. I hope they get things straightened out soon.

I do, too, but I always get an "oh, no..." feeling when something "new and improved" is promised. I guess we will see.

They come in pretty regular then they tapper off. A few get missed here and there but think that was largely due to hotmail having issues with their updating...I don't know why people can't just leave good things alone...but last few days they seem to be all there again.

No. Not at all. Maybe Lamb knows, or has an idea. I look to him and Msdianait (aunt D) to know a lot if what goes on here.

I seem to only get notifications for some of my more popular friends as well, even then not very often. hmm, i would like something like the fb thing at the top i think it would be easier but we'll see with the new site. :)

Well as you know, my time online is very limited some days. So it is always easier for me to go thru my discussions when I can and respond back and see if anyone has responded further this way. I have to do this from time to time with discussions I have responded too as well to see what I might need to take time to respond back too as well.

It does happen to me that I don't get the notifications but not very often so I can't complain.

Mine has been working for awhile now. But the thing that gets me is that it is as if they pick and choose which ones to send me. I don't get all of them.

I have turned off notifications and have to go through each discussion I have participated/started everyday, except for those week-or-more-old discussions. I am actually thinking of turning notifications back on and try your method, but then again, it seems to me like a lot of work so maybe I'll stick to my way.

Good to hear that you aren't having any problems. I guess I have the wrong friends list. Many of mine aren't very busy on here anymore. If I get 30 notifications in a day I am doing good. These are comments and discussions. Some from the same people. Ugh!

Well, what do you know? Just to let you know that you are not alone on this notification malfunction which BTW is on and off for me. I understand that you are using Gmail for your correspondence with mylot and you might want to check what you have customized with the Spam control for your account. I am suspecting that it is set to remove Spam instantly and when the legitimate mail accidentally lands inside the Spam folder it will be deleted immediately. That said, I suppose this is probably why you do not receive them because the action will not send them into the thrash folder but permanently removed. I know about the white list but the system is just a system which is hard to see a load of incoming email to be legitimate. So, you may want to configure the Spam removal to be every 7 days instead of immediate or 1 day here.

I haven't received notifications for the past four months and its so aggravating to me. So for you to be dealing with it for two years don't apologize I understand. I was receiving them since the beginning when I joined in April of 2008. All of sudden this pass December I receive nothing except notifications if the discussion was deleted. I wish that mylot admininstration would fix this problem already. I don't understand the reason for this happening.

I have been a member of Mylot for six years or more. I never had a problem with notifications until about two years ago. I was on Yahoo and was told by a tech that Yahoo was bad for causing these type of problems. So I changed but until I went to a Gmail address did it ever stop happening. Now I have had them for quite awhile and hope I keep them. They left for a few weeks once but came back so I am knocking on wood. It is very aggravating. Doing it manually can be SOOOOO time consuming.

I don't pay any attention, to the Mylot notifications lately, if I get it I do if I don't I don't, that how I take it now and days, I don't make big deal out of not getting a Mylot notification.
