LJ- please start sending me comments again.  Pretty please?  I'll give you donuts!

(translation- I'm not ignoring anyone, I'm not getting any notifications or getting them hours later)

they had a news announcement that said it was due to some hotmail issue, but I use gmail, so I think they're just covering their butts there. oh well.

working would be nice. come on LJ... pretty please?

Yeah, I'm using gmail and haven't had a single comment email all day. I keep having to remember who I've replied to and checking posts.

*Gets out the pointed stick*

I wish I could remember who I've commented to :(

Ah, well, I'm probably not as chatty as you so I have less to remember.

Not been uber chatty recently and I *still* can't remember - I am OLD!

I know I have a few PMs lurking around that I don't even know if they have got through...

I got a notifiaction - that's 2 in the last few minutes!

I can't remember either. I think we're both suffering from Lackadonutitis though, not old age

I think it was more that Hotmail effed up, and everything got clogged as a result, including comments that should be going to other e-mail services.

That might explain the nothing nothing flood, too. Thanks a lot, Hotmail :p.

maybe, but I don't understand how that would affect me not getting messages in my lj inbox when someone posts in my LJ. Normally, they show up right away, now it's hours later. It's all internal within LJ itself, how could hotmail or whatever effect it?

Seems e-mail and inbox notifications are two parts of the same system (makes sense, as you can set it so you get both), so Hotmail and other e-mail screwy made for a queue of death:

Stupid spam e-mail ruining it for everybody D:.
