FOR THOSE THAT ARE LOOKING TO FIX THEIR EMAIL/BLOGGER PROBLEM

I can't take credit for this
but I can sure 
spread the word.
Let's hope it works for some of us anyway!

Fix to Blogger Comment Issue

Housekeeping post today.
So, Blogger is having a bit of a hiccup at the moment. For some reason, comment notifications are not being sent to my email. Since this is the easiest way to reply to comments, it is a problem.
After some research, I found out three things: 1) This is a widespread problem 2) After no response on the Blogger Product Forum all day, one of the experts finally replied that Blogger is working on it 3) In the meantime, there is a fix that is working for me. At the bottom of your post's comment section, check the box that says notify me. This basically subscribes you to all comments on that post and they will show up in your email inbox. You will need to do this on every new post.
Hope this helps! And share this too :-)

    Thats what I do! Hope they get this fixed soon. Also, I think if people are subscribed to email notifications when you post, they do not get a notification eithere. Not sure about that but I think thats happening.

    Not exactly sure what the problem is....I don't get that many comments on my blog but I am able to comment on other blogs, so I am okay with that. There was a time I could not comment on other blogs and that was so frustrating, now I can. Personally I would rather see comments on my blog rather then emails. I don't always go to my emails. That's just my preference though.

    I reply to the comments right on my blog...
    I tried to comment on your lovely Lilacs, and it wouldn’t let me...so I am telling you here...beautiful!
    Enjoy your week...
    Cheers!

    I thought it was something I did and I'm glad to find out it is Blogger and not me. Although it is a big pain not getting notified. I will try this out for sure.

    I have never received any notification of comments by email...I simply checked my blog. I would only get an email from a blogger when I posted a comment on their blog. Am I on another planet?!!!! Thanks though.

    Have you heard anything recently on Mary in California? I'm praying she is okay and on the mend.

    Diana,
    Thanks for posting this. I will try it and see if it works. I have just been monitoring the comments from each post on blogger and responding that way. I actually did this anyway because some comments never came through in an email and I always checked to make sure I did not miss any...
    Hugs,
    Deb

    I had already done this and it came in my emails on my computer but not in the same email on my iPhone.
    I know weird isn't it.

    I did hear about this. I have started to get comments but like you said, they are coming through as noreply. I don't know if this is just a fluke or if I inadvertently made this change and didn't realize it...lol...but something is different...also getting them on my phone! Thanks for posting!

    Thanks for spreading the word about this, Diana. I have had problems with email comments for a while. First, they were being sent to me and snagged as spam. Now, not sent at all. I read this fix on the Blogger blog, of all places, where they were touting their new features that are soon to come. Not so sure about having new stuff when important old stuff is broken.

    Morning, Its good to have a fix for this problem, but the bigger problem is the exclamation point in the circle before many address bars of each persons address of their blogs! I think this may be a new law fron Europe that blogger is saying we must comply with. Been working on this one for weeks!
    Have you seen this and had any feedback on this? Have a great day, Roxy

    Thank you! I read that they were not going to adjust the email system....that it is going to remain this way. Maybe I read incorrectly.

    I do not use Email for comments, so not an issue there for me. I do have several issues and know nothing about how to fix them. I cannot get the "cookie" thing added to my blog. Seems it is an important thing, so I sure will have to give up blog. You cannot contact Blogger to get help. If I could, probably would not understand it. Glad you were able to fix your problem.

    I have been wondering what on earth is wrong...I thought it had something to do with that new privacy thing they kept talking about. It is SO frustrating because there is no ready support for blogger. Thank you for sharing this, my friend. You are a blessing!

    I did this and I couldn't get it to work. Still getting no replies -- not mail saying no-reply, just no mail. Ugh. Blogger did post today that they are "working on it and hope to have the system fixed by next week."

    Thanks for this info. I knew something had changed. For years I never got the comments in my email, but suddenly I did when I switched to gmail. And now they have stopped coming. I'll see if I can try what you have come up with.
