Why do I not get email notifications...

[takes_a_fairy]

...when someone puts up a new post. I get the comment notifications and all, but not those. I've checked my settings as best I know how.
Maybe there is some special little setting tweak that I'm unaware of?

When someone puts up a new post where? Is it someone whose account you're tracking, or posts in a comm, or what?

[takes_a_fairy]

People in my friend's list. I get their comment notifications but not anything telling me they've posted something new on their DW pages I'm linked to. I only get them if they're also crossposting to LJ, simultaneously. I get the LJ notifications and from their I just go to DW and read their posts.

Okay. Are you seeing their posts come up on your reading page like normal?

[takes_a_fairy]

That's what's so confusing because everything is working normal except my post notifications.

Hrm. How do you have your settings set up on LJ? I'm trying to puzzle this out, because as far as I know, on DW there isn't a setting in "Notifications" that will automatically e-mail you whenever anyone on your f-list (everyone you're subscribed to, on DW) posts -- but as far as I can see, there isn't on LJ either.

To get the effect you want, you can go to someone's profile and click on "Track Account". That will give you the option to be notified when they post a new entry. But you'd have to do that individually with everyone you're subscribed to.

THANK YOU!!!
I knew I was missing something. Lol!
That was it. (see icon)

I have them individually selected on LJ and forgot to do that on DW. Du-uh!

\o/ W00t! We have solved the mystery!

It's really easy to forget these things if it's been a while since you set it up (at least, that's one of my excuses for the things I forget ...)

[takes_a_fairy]

For me it's about the changed language betweem the two. "track account" does not translate to "email notifications set-up" to me. Lol!

Thanks for pointing that out. *g*

Ive been getting the notifications from DW, today! Thanks again.

One thing to keep in mind, if your friend posts privately (or filtered to a filter that you can't see), you won't get the notification, even if they edit the post later to be public or filtered to a filter you can see. So, if you're missing a few new-entry notifications, that's why!

Okay, thanks for that bit of info. It's appreciated. =D
