1. Goddamnit, yahoomail! Seriously, I've had enough of your crap. I haven't been getting any notifs for the past couple of days and I didn't want to switch e-mails because I've had my old one for at least ten years and I'm quite attached to it - but enough is freakin' enough. AGH.

2. Really, mom? We're going to argue about whether or not a dictator who had plundered the economy down to its knees and did so many unmentionable things to people should be buried in Libingan ng mga Bayani (Heroes' Cemetery)? Really? Okay, then.

3. My earphone is broken. The left side doesn't work anymore and just. AGHHHH. Just when I was thinking, 'oh hey, I've had this for a year already and I haven't broken it yet! Imagine that.'

4. BLU-RAY OF LOTR EXTENDED EDITION. HNGGGGGGGG. DO WANT DO WANT DOWANT

If it's LJ notifications, I don't think your email is to blame. I seems from looking at my flist that nobody else have been getting them either.

It seems like some Gmail accounts are getting them fine, though? I've received timely notifs ever since I switched to gmail, and some people do say they are getting them fine.

I'm not getting them either way, so I wouldn't know. :)

Yikes, really? ...wow. That's just wow, LJ.

LOL no! I've turned them off. I use inbox + recent comments page.

I only had them turned on for a very short time after I first got a paid account some years ago. Very quickly discovered that all I was getting out of them was spamming myself, since I have LJ open in a tab at all times anyway.

Ah! I thought you were having problems with it too, haha.

You know, I never considered using the recent comments page, to be honest - although since mine's like only a plus account, it's only going to show a few comments anyhow. I... really use the notifs for roleplaying and stuff :P

I used to use the notifications on RP journals as well, but I don't RP anymore. On a paid account I can see up to the last hundred comments received and given, so it works fairly well for me. I have it bookmarked so I can easily get to it no matter where on LJ I've clicked off to

You RP'ed? Wow! And yeah, I found myself really relying on mail for that purpose alone, sigh. I always get frustrated that I had to refresh pages where my tags are.

I did for a couple of years. As Daphne Greengrass, later also Hannah Abbott. But it wasn't really good for me, because on the one hand I had fun but on the other hand it put me in a funny sort of head space where it prompted and reinforced all sorts of personal insecurities which led to several small bouts of depression (there were other things as well involved with that, but I've generally felt a lot better about myself after I stopped with RP).

Aww! That's really sad. I got addicted to RP-ing because it was fun and it got me back to fandoms I thought I was done with (Buffyverse and now LOTR). I've yet to RP characters from HP books.

Fwiw, LJ notifications did seem to have had a small technical problem a couple days ago, so maybe it could be that.

I'm afraid I wouldn't know who you're referring to, but I don't think I've ever been fond of dictators, so... yeah.

Earphones tend to be tricky, a lot of times. That used to happen way too often for me. So eventually I tried looking for one by either checking the prices (avoid the cheapest without necessarily buying the most expensive) or the brand. It's worked for me so far; I only bought new earphones because I lost the previous one.

It did, but it's still continuing up to now, and I think LJ posted somewhere that third party hosts are to blame? idk. I have received your reply and the one after yours in a timely manner, which is... more than I can say for yahoo. I haven't yet gotten my notifs from a week ago :(

They are! I'm fairly lucky some of them lasts like a year or so, and this set came with my phone. But I've been considering buying earphones for my laptop as well, so I guess it breaking is just... apt, haha. I'm thinking of buying either Sony or Phillips.

Yeah, Yahoo users are having weird things going on with their notifs. It's been mentioned on anoncomm a few times. But still. You should totally use gmail. >>

And sob earphones. I know how that goes.

My friends are like constantly surprised I still use a yahoo account when the 'in' thing was gmail. But I'm quite fond of that email and didn't want to abandon it :(

I KNOW RIGHT. Ugh. I can't live without earphones :(

I only recommend it because it's so great for RP and just super duper wieldy, but I can understand the attachment.

ALSO BETE NOIRE.

I am quite a ~sentimental person, haha. I still have stuff from way back that I didn't want to throw away because of meeeemories~

...HOSHIT I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THAT.

Yeah, I held onto my hotmail one for a long time but the spam got to be too much so that was my main reason for switching.

IT'S OKAY Apps are closed right now anyway so no ~pressure~.

I don't even remember my password for my hotmail account, but I do remember loving my account name there, which was freezetodeath. Hahaha.

Oh, they are? When will they re-open?

Not sure. Right now they're closed so that the game can adjust to its bigger size. There's a lot of talk going on between mods and playerbase, polls being taken, etc, so gather opinions on recalibrating character caps, activity checks, and metaplot structure. The mods are great though so I'm not terribly worried, since I know I'm making it sound more... hopeless, haha, than it actually is. TO ACTUALLY ANSWER YOUR QUESTION I would ballpark it around two or three weeks until things get settled OOC.

THAT IS AWESOME, actually! Games getting bigger and having more people playing in them is always wonderful. Hopefully by the time they reopen I would have decided if I were to app or not :D

GOOD. Yeah Mara's right up there in the pantheon of greatest mods.

I hope you dooo~ I'm playing a second character there now. I want to bring a third in, probably a Buffyverse muse, so you can keep that in mind too~

Oh! Who's your other character? Also, spill on the Buffyverse one!

This lady right here!

Oh I haven't decided which yet. Not Fred or Illyria though, since it would kind of screw with what I'm doing with Claire - well, maybe Illyria, post Haunted canon. But I've also thought about Anya (I'd have to canon review and do mucho voicetesting), vamp!Fred, and AU!Connor. Gwen could be fun, or human Darla... Yeah I really don't know! So many possibilities.

SO MANY INDEED! ♥ But yes, think on it! Three weeks, bb~

LJ is weird about notifications. And, since the only way to really see if you've gotten any to posts outside of your own LJ (aside from visiting the posts you've commented on, and who has that kind of time?) is through email really, then it's really frustrating. And, you don't even really notice if you've missed something!

2. Wow.

3. You had them for a year? Even if they are now broken, I am amazed. I'm lucky if they last me three months. And it doesn't even matter if they are of good quality or not, I still always manage to wreck them.

EXACTLY. And it's a bummer to see that, oh, I have mail! Only to realize that it was from a week ago, one that since you weren't notified, got ignored. agh.

...yeah. ISSUES, I HAVE THEM.

Yes! The longest I've ever had one was a bit more than a year, but on the average... yeah. Give or take a few weeks. These are like the branded ones, though, or the ones that came with the unit I'm using (laptop or phone).

1) It just not me it seems; i agree, so stoopid yahoo

Haha yeah. It's a bit comforting to know we're not alone :P

you are the only person who im getting LJ replies to my email from when i comment on your LJ..weird, as it not letting me get them for anyone elses LJ mostly

...really? Wow. That's odd. Although I'm not surprised, as some of my notifs do come in while others still slip by.
