Maewyn, I have turned off my e-mail notification simply because I would be inundated with LJ e-mail for wendylady2...so what I do instead, is go to my home-page and look at the latest 25 or 50 comments every so often - once a week or so... I find quite a lot of comments on back entries from people who have done a google blog-search for various fashion-related events...that's how I catch them - quite a good way if your e-mail thingy is up the spout !!
Thank you Wendy! I didn't think to look there! I do look at that page occasionally, but not with the purpose of checking for "lost" comments! I'll remember that if it happens again.
I get so few comments that when I do receive them it's nice to have an email pop up announcing that fact!
I haven't noticed, Maewyn. I got a couple of notices today for the new kitten post, but I haven't checked my other recent entries. I suppose I should. I hope the problem doesn't persist.
I realised I had a problem when I noticed a comment from Este that had been made about five days previously in one of my Kalbarri posts. Then yesterday I found I hadn't received your response to my kittens comment - I checked your LJ and found it there.
It's fixed - I received your notification for this and my other post.
I read the LJ FAQs and followed their instructions. Everything seemed to be in order on the LJ side. One of their suggestions was to check the "blocked senders" facility on my email account.
That was the problem. I have no idea how that happened, because there's no way I'd purposely block LJ comments! Those gremlins have a lot to answer for!
"Blocked senders"! Who'd ever even look? Well, I wouldn't. I don't even know where that is to find it. But if I have a problem getting reply notices, I know where to go for advice! :)
