OK I've discovered something very interesting, yet at the same time very very annoying.
I opt for the e-mail notifications for posts by those I'm connected with and for comments. It's what I'm most comfortable with. ( I konw not everyone does it... but I do). Now, regarding comments, I've noticed something that I'm not sure has always been the case or if it changed with the up-grade. When I write a post and flag it (for whatever reason ... adult, mature content, etc.) , I do not get notified in my e-mail for comments made to that post. If I comment on a flagged post and someone comments on my comment...I do NOT get an e-mail notification.
I kind of depend on the notifications. So this is a tad bit annoying. I have to remember now, to keep it clean! LOL


Comments: 35
I don't use email notifications for anything but the new reply to comment thing. Do you have a setting on gather so that you don't get the mature things? Maybe that is why.
yes, I get the mature posts, just not comments ...
ty
No idea.
That doesn't sound right.
i have it setup for email for comments on my posts I haven't gotten an email for my posts in months.
You might want to send an email to Gather support or talk to Kevin about it. It might be a glitch. I had a problem like that the other day but I never connected that it was because of a flagged post. Now it makes sense.
Nancy,
You are correct. If the content is published privately (to a private group) or is flagged for mature content, you do not receive email notification for comments. This is likely (hopefully) just a glitch, and not an intentional 'feature'.

I do hope it is a glitch that can be fixed. I didn't know it was a problem for private content as well... eeek!
I have to say it's just a tad annoying and not something I can't deal with ;)
Nancy, in my little world at work for tech support this would be called a "bug" lol When we're testing, we love finding "bugs" because it means the customer won't find it once the version is released!! Our supervisor makes a big deal of it and we get a "bug" sticker!! lol Hopefully like Kevin said it wasn't intentional and you get a sticker!! WooHoo!!
Is your guarded viewing "Off"?
Ever since the upgrade or whatever it's called, I don't get notified about anything. I don't know what happened.
I did not know that.
To get the "mature," etc. posts, turn "Guarded Viewing" off on you profile page--upper right, I think.
I get the posts... that's not the problem. I don't get the comments on the posts not even if it's my post. Kevin explained.
hmmmm.. that is really weird!
I always read your posts... I just have the good sense not to always comment! LOL
I get tooo many post notifications as it is and try to answer as many as possible. But when it's flagged I run to see. A flag will get my attention every time. : - )
yeah i'm not getting any of the notices i should be. when i click on follow this conversation it never sends me emails. not to mention i can't comment on half the posts anyway...
...my comments are unfortunately becoming rare simply because i can't do it and at the moment i can't be bothered to fuss around...
I understand.. I sometimes don't get the comment box, but if I F5 to refresh it comes right up.
Refresh doesn't work anymore :(
I think the powers that be just don't want me to comment...
There is definately still some kind of glitch with the "reply to this comment" feature, I've gotten notifications for someone responding to someone else's comment.
I use the feeds. So I wouldn't have noticed this.
No more naughty posts for you lady !
ya know I just can't help me selft ;)
errr scratch that "t"... LOL
I've only flagged maybe 2 messages in all the time I've been here so I haven't noticed anything like that. I only get emails of certain people and the rest I read at the site. Otherwise my email fills up too much and I don't have the time to sit and read through 100's of messages in a day. I am on maybe 1-2 hours a day to do all the things I need to do. Gather is just one of them.
ahh well see I don't have a life LOL.. so I can get a gazillion messages and it don't bother me none. Of course I can only comment on a few of them, so I can view the gazillion ... ;)
Interesting info~
Interesting.
