Ummm, it came to my attention that I may not have been getting any LJ notifications through my email for a little while. I thought people are just busy or possibly ignoring me since I have been really bad at keeping up with LJ. But I just noticed several "new" comments left at my LJ entry that I knew nothing about. This leads me to suspect there might be more such comments out there. So please accept my apology for not responding. It's going to take me awhile to track down the comments I may have missed, and it's very possible I'm not going to be able to catch all of them. So sorry!

P.S. Has anyone else been experiencing similar trouble lately? Does anyone know if the issue lies with LJ or with yahoo mail?

ETA: Mystery solved! Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] layne67 who suggested me to take a look at my Spam folder, I found out the problem was with my yahoo email. At sometime after Thanksgiving, yahoo decided that a good chunk of my emails are "spams" and blocked them from my inbox. LiveJournal is one of the "casualties". To fix the problem, per suggestion from [livejournal.com profile] koredump, I added lj_notification's email address to my contact list. Hopefully, this is the last time I encounter this problem!

No! I haven't checked my spam folder. That's a great idea.

*running off to check*

ETA: OMG! Layne, you are a GENIUS! That's exactly what happened!!!! Now how do I unspam it?!

No idea how. It usually corrects itself without me doing anything to it.

It wasn't correcting itself for me. Yahoo blocked quite a bit of messages, and it was happily doing so without any "remorse".

I suspect my trouble started some time after Thanksgiving when many retailers here flooding people's email with advertisements - my inbox average 20 emails every day despite the anti-spam. Apparently the anti-spam bot is screening out the wrong emails!

As [livejournal.com profile] koredump suggested, adding the lj_notifications' email address to contact list fixed the problem, hopefully for good!
