The person who handles the technical aspects of this site has left a comment on today’s Hili dialogue asking for you to notify him of what problems you’re having getting emails from the site, not having comments go through immediately, and so on. (As I’ve said, I’m now having to approve virtually every comment, even of those people who were never moderated, and it’s a pain.) Here’s what he says, but go to the comment itself (click on link in previous sentence or on screenshot below to reply) to beef about your issues. Now’s your chance. Please be as specific as possible. Thanks!
How does a user subscribe not to the website, but to specific posts?
There was a radio button (or a check button, not sure of the exact term for it) but it seemed to disappear a while ago.
For example, I want to get all the comments from this post. There is and always was a “Notify me of new posts by email” button. There are no other buttons. I will of course try checking that box now again, but I don’t think it did what I expected it to every other time I tried it before.
The subscription confirmation emails are not showing up in my spam or junk email folders either but perhaps I need to update my email or something.
Thank you.
Please put this comment at the site indicated. And readers: don’t leave your problems in this thread, but as a reply to the comment indicated above.
[facepalm]
sorry, and thanks!
I’m still having issues. (I think Jerry forwarded my email about this to you last week). The old check box requesting comment emails has gone missing.
Please leave comments as replies to the comment linked to in the post. No more comments on this thread, please.
“Notify me of new posts by email” has not worked for me for the past year and a half.
I thought I left a comment here but it has disappeared! Like Rick above, I no longer get email notification of comments plus I now (last year or so) have to fill in ALL my info EVERY SINGLE TIME.I’ve been following WEIT for about 10 years…
I have no idea if my comments are getting back to EIT; might be me, or maybe the system?
