Awesome!!!! My email notification is working AGAIN!!!!

March 8, 2007 1:42pm CST
After a week of my email notification here at mylot being down it's finally up and running again. So to all those that haven't seen me as regularly as before that should change now. I tried using the link to discussions that my friends had started but found that it didn't show for discussions that had just been started. I much prefer the email notification as I feel that I'm better able to manage my time here. I will also be able to be notified now of new responses to my discussions instead of having to go through them to find the new responses I can again use the notification to find them. YEAH!!!! So I want to say thank you to mylot for getting this problem fixed. How many of you have missed this for the past week?

I would dread opening my in box if I got that many. I do get about 200 or more, but that includes responses also. My biggest are in the mornings which is the way that I like it. Because I have friends throughout the world they trickle in throughout the day and night so that makes it nice. The fact that I have sent them an update everyday to let them know mine was still not working. I guess it didn't affect everyone, and when I sent them the first e-mail the correspondence that I got back was like the first that they had heard of it, which just goes to show that even if we start a discussion about something not working we should contact mylot also. :)

I haven't had this problem recently. I did one time right after I started here at mylot. I'm not sure what causes that. I prefer to get the email notifications also. It is alot easier to respond to new discussions that all of my friends have started. I have a hard time finding all of them at the mylot site. I miss out on alot of them also. I'm glad that you finally got all of yours working again. good luck and best wishes that it does not happen to you again. I hope you canget caught up onthem as I am still way behind on responding to all of my friends here.

It apparently didn't affect everyone this time. Sadly it did me. I have had a heck of a time trying to find new discussions that my friends started most of them seemed to be older, I kept trying to look in the new discussions started and was able to find a few from my friends. :) Now it's working and I will be back to my routine. :)

I don't know how that would help to stay on top of the new discussions my friends have started. That page links to the front page of all members. I like to respond to friends discussions and if I have time then I go through other links.:)

I don't think that you have been forgotten. Mine is honestly due to the email notification issue. Now that it's working I will be able to stay more connected to my friends new discussions.

lol, weemam you always make me laugh. It can be scary on some days. Now that I'm up to nearly 400 friends, I do have some days that I receive over 200 notifications but that includes the notifications to my discussions and those I file in a folder and go through those in between posting responses. So they really don't count. One day I will need to go through the friends and see how many are inactive. :) When I have time, LOL.

My notifications are working again as well, and i am very pleased. I get them in my email and go through them at once, and answer all that is relevant to me, and comment on answers to my posts. Thx for fixing the problem mylot!

Were they really missing? I had no such problem and would have gone crazy if it was so. I had the problem a few weeks ago and it was a glitch only for a day and myLot fixed it almost immediately. It must have been so annoying for you, not to receive email notifications..hehe! Well good that it is back..

It was isolated this time and only affected some. It was quite frustrating at one point I thought I was going to shut my computer off until they fixed it. Problem is I'm a mylotaholic and I just couldn't do it! :)

I am happy for you. I did not have it happen this week but a couple of weeks ago it was a pain.

I had it happen a couple of weeks ago also, that one though was fixed within 24 hours. This has been since last Thursday I truly thought it was never going to be fixed for me, LOL. How was I ever going to get organized again. :)

Yeah I noticed that myself. I was happy when I saw e-mail notifications again in my e-mail. I just about when steer crazy trying to find all the new discussions my friends had posted. I felt lost, now I can get back to my natural rythm on here. YAY!! Thanks Mylot.

We are true mylotaholics! :) I was lost without my email notifications and hope this never happens again for me. I can't go through that link again. :)

I had this problem and boy did it just tie me in knots! I was sooo mad and wanted to be on mylot. It just is not as efficient going through the my friends disc. as it is with the notifier. Thank goodness it is working now.

I agree it's not as efficient, and unless I was in the new discussions started part in the past week I didn't see a single new discussion started by my friends in the link marked "discussions my friends started" someone suggested that may have been a glitch also. I'm so happy to see it working again. :)

Mine just started working again today too! I felt like I was losing something when I stopped getting the e-mail notifications - I rely on them alot - I sure discovered that! It just makes it easier for me to keep track of which friends are posting and who is responding to my posts. MyLot did respond quickly to my e-mail about this - I'm just glad things got straightened out for all of us!

I rely on it very heavily, the only links I use are the newbies and new discussions and that's after posting to my friends. The friends link just doesn't work for me. :) I'm glad we are all back up and running.

Well I guess I was fortunate that mine weren't old ones just current as that might have shut done my email, LOL. I received about 125 emails in less than an hour and a half yesterday. Between the new discussions and the responses to my discussions. :)

I too had those notification issues. My problem was intermittent though. One day I'd get them all then the next day none till late at night then I'd get 100 at once. Ugghh! Good to see your back & the emails are rolling in. HAHAHAHA! HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!

I have literally not received a single notification from mylot since last Thursday at 2:00 pm PST. I can't tell you how happy I am to see it working as this is the way that I manage my time on mylot the best. This past week I have found that although I spent more time here I have answered less posts per day. :( I have missed I'm sure many great discussions started by my friends. I will be busy trying to keep up today and then back to normal by tomorrow, I hope.

I had the same problem and I got an email from mylot saying that they are working on it, soon after i started to receive notifications again :) actually I sent two messages to mylot admin and it took them long time (10 days maybe) to respond and fix it but I'm glad that they finally did :)

I have sent about 7 of them letting them know the problem was still their they responded to I think 3 or 4 of them. I think that an alert should have been sent out to keep us more informed, just my opinion. :) Glad we are all back up and running.

Actually I haven't checked my email since a long time and haven't either checked for hose email notifiactions either. It doesn't make any difference for me cause either way I just make it a point to go atleast once into the "discussions started by friends" area and try to respond to as many discussions as possible. I just never forget about responding to my friends, wheteher or not they respond to me. Any ways Take Care May GOD Bless YOU

Lol, I actually turned my email notification off! I hated my email inbox overflowing with emails from Mylot. My email notification worked, but it wasn't delivering on time, so I'd go to bed unaware of new discussions and then get up in the morning to like 70 - 80 emails. I prefer to scroll through the "Discussions friends have started" box right here on the website. It's showing discussions that have just been started for me, so maybe it was a glitch in the system somewhere that meant it wasn't showing them for you? Who knows. Anywayz, I'm glad to hear it's working for you again. I do like reading your discussions and responding to them :)

I have heard many say they turn off their notification because they just receive to many emails. I receive a lot also but in the early morning I have time to go through and read them and then place them into folders to respond to throughout the day, they are listed as "new discussions to respond to", "new discussions that need thought" and new discussions maybe" then the ones that don't fit into any of the categories I send to the trash. :( Then as I'm taking breaks throughout the day I can pop on and I don't have to search for a discussion to respond to I have them at my fingertips. At the end of the day, I usually don't have many left and I start over the next day. Your probably right that their may have been a glitch and that's why I wasn't seeing any new discussions. I kept thinking how do people see new discussions to respond to in their friends list mine doesn't show that. :) I'm glad that mine is up and running again and will be back to normal tomorrow. I'm glad that you enjoy my discussions. This discussion was also to let people know that I haven't been ignoring them I just don't see any new discussions, I kept seeing so many that I had already responded to. :)
