kicks LJ (short rant ahead...)

Oct 21, 2007 22:25

So.... LJ has stopped delivering e-mails about my comments. This annoys me to no end, because now I need to remember where I've made all my comments so that I'll be able to reply to the replies *mad* Does anyone know what's wrong and how I can change it? Because at this rate it'll drive me crazy!

I'm also yet to figure out how to make it so that the ( Read more... )

Not sure about the second one, but for the first one, have you checked your email service. My excite account stopped giving them to me, but luckily my gmail one still does.

navy_cis October 22 2007, 07:05:50 UTC

Okay, so whatever the problem is, LJ or hotmail have been nice enough to deliver the notifications for this comment *shrugs*

Will have to look into getting the posts delivered to my gmail account.

Thanks for replying *smiles*

Someone on my f-list said that the problem could be that hotmail is blocking LJ-mails.. do you have hotmail?

navy_cis October 22 2007, 07:07:18 UTC

Yeah, I've got hotmail. It's a bit odd that it stopped working after two months. But I suppose that's technology... *headdesk*

Hotmail is one of the ones being hit.

I think the big problem is that with so much spam around the world (apparently 95% of email these days is spam) ISPs are trying to find ways to cut it, as it's slowing up and crashing servers. So they are taking drastic steps such as blocking anything they think is spam and they've decided that LJ is spam.

That's understandable, but still annoying. It seems to be back to normal now though, so fingers crossed it stays that way.

It's happening all over LJ *sigh*

Several ISPs are apparently treating anything from LJ as spam and as such not delivering; I have another friend who has suffered for two weeks without a single comment. Others are more spasmodic, i.e. getting some, another friend stopped getting them yesterday.

One useful tool, that you might or might not know about is: http://www.livejournal.com/tools/recent_comments.bml

It'll show you that last 25 (it may be more, but I know it's dependent on the type of account) of comments posted to your journal. Plus, if you scroll down, you'll see the last 25 comments you posted to other journals, so at least you can see if you've had any comments.

As for the second part, you can't do that. It happens automatically after a certain number of comments have been posted. I don't know how many, but it's a LJ thing that just 'happens'.

*Sending good vibes your way for a speedy 'return to normal'

navy_cis October 22 2007, 12:38:10 UTC

Yeah, I've seen that tool, it's on the "home" page. Didn't notice until now though that I could see the latest posts on other journals too, so thanks for that!

Oh well, that's too bad, because it's annoying that the page is twice as wide as usual, and I've got like 48 comments to that entry. *shurgs*

Thank you, the good vibes you sent seemed to help.

nakeisha October 23 2007, 10:20:04 UTC

You're welcome. I don't know why they seem to 'hide' their most useful features!

It is a pain *sigh*

You're welcome - I'm glad they helped.

navy_cis October 24 2007, 00:41:56 UTC

And again, LJ decides it's fun not to send me my comments *sigh*

They really should have a feature where we can choose when the comments gets grouped together. Because I've got a widescreen computer, so I can only imagine what it must look like for one who's got a smaller screen with not as good resolution... *shudders at the thought*
