~ GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR ~

Good Gawd I hate AOL sometimes!!!  Ok, most of the time.  If it wasn't for you great folks I think I would have walked long ago.   I happened to be going thru my comment alerts and filling requests for tags I when I realized there were several comments I did not get alerts for.  I think I found them all, but damn who knows.  It is so sporadic...  some folks I got alerts for certain comments but not others made only minutes apart.  GRRRRRRRR  Did AOL even save them all?  Are entry alerts going out?  If not, I just wasted a few minutes typing this.  Did they do another upgrade?  An improvement?  It always seems when they do, the rest of the services for journals goes to hell in a hand basket.   Is it just me?  Did I do too many entries last night?  I know I went a bit overboard.  LOL  So if you didn't get your tag for the recent offers, can you let me know.  I'm current as of this moment... as far as I can tell.  If you think you may have missed some offers take a look back, I've been informed no alert went out for the last two entries.  GRRRRRR 

 

Thanks & Hugs

i just received this alert and seemingly have gotten all my alerts this AM...but i did recently add some journal alerts and then realized this week i had never gotten an email saying they updated. AOL will make a person insane.
Don't ever leave.....we need our D!

I've got another axe to grind with AOL lol, Donna, but this is pretty bad as well

I've been having problams as well. I have no idea if they did or are going to do their little number on the journals or not. I was thinking the same, I thought they did something to them last night and I just forgot about it. :o) I hope you can get things sorted. :o)

I've been having to go back and check to make sure also.  I'm not getting all comment alerts either.

I thought I had requested one but simply cannot remember what it was now because it was before christmas so not to worry.  Aol can drive you crazy at times.

Yep......you're right.  I didn't get alerts for the last 2 entries.  I'm just catchin up on alerts and I just read all the ones I missed then delete the alerts when I'm done.
Hugs,

Donna, you can have AOL as far as I am concerned. If it wasn't for the fact that I am addicted to so many journals and a few message boards I would fold up my account.
I remember when I was a CL in Digital City Philly we were told we would be released if we critized AOL. They have come a long way since then but a lot of the movemnet has been backwards.
Have a great New Year, Bill

Donna last night i was about to flip my lid with AOL!!!!
I couldn't get into any journals including my own if i did it would take forever and a day...so i said the hell with it(as behind as i was...with over 200 alerts) cause I have been slacking...haha  So I am playing catch up today....today is much better on my end.... I think i will keep my 9.0 as much as everyone is complaining about 9.1.....I don't get all of the entry alerts i request..pisses me off....cause I lose touch with people unless I have them saved in my favs...and by the time you catch up with them so much has went on....and they think you have abandoned them when it is AOHELL's fault....haha

I wish just one time they would get their sh*t together!

Hugs
Terri

P.S. Oh yeah...I left you comments for basically everything you have offered the last night or so in case you didn't get them with good ol AOL!   Thanks again!

Well you know I've lost my ability to save tags with animation now thanks to AOL, but I also noticed last night the entry I did AOL ate half of it.
I'll have to look because I think I have gotten all I asked for, but my brain has been mush this week.
Take care and Hang in there, Chrissie

I have had this same problem in the past so I moved my Tag group to Yahoo and haven't had a problem since then....maybe you should think about switching?

I spent all day and into the evening cursing AOL -- and then decided one of the reasons I stay is the folks here in Journals and really, the sense of everything being in one place.  Sometimes when I try a new service I feel disjointed and at odds with what I'm using so I come running back.  

It's frustrating as heck though!

I haven't noticed any problems....and I think I got all my alerts, too.    They have another download...9.1...which I had been getting that annoying alert for.   I finally d/l it and don't see a lot different.

I've been getting my alerts okay. Maybe AOL is handling extra traffic and activity these days? I know when I uploaded a couple of videos, it took twice as long as usual last night. Maybe they were doing updates at the time. I know there are problems here and there, but for the most part, things work as we expect them to. I don't make entries every day, so I probably wouldn't notice some of the things I hear others complain about.... but I am glad you have chosen to stay with us!!! I hope it all gets straightened out. bea

Hey hun ;) No worries here sweety. I have been getting ur tag offers to me that i requested. So ty for that. Thats got to be frustrating not getting all the comment alerts. Cause u want to get out all the tags to those who requested. Damn aol. I swear something always mess up with them. It is very frustrating. I have been gettign my alerts ok so far as i can tell. As some others said they had a new 9.1 version. I downloaded it. Maybe thats why things are a bit wacky i dont know. The 9.1 isnt really different though. I swear they need to have a better version but not something that will be so screwey. Take care hun and have a good rest of day :)
xo, Leslie

I did not get alerts but I have also had problems saving my comments to your blog...it seems to freeze when I click on save...I do not know if anyone else is having the same problem!
I hope AOL does something soon...then again that would shock me

Terri keeps trying to talk me into starting a journal of my own. With all the problems you all have with yours I'm not sure if I want to. I would not be a happy camper if I had to put up with all the frustrations you guy put up with. I enjoy reading journals and I hope you all continue because I sure would miss each of you.

Okay, take a deep breath, now exhale!  There, things are not in total chaos, yet!  True, it may be approaching that, LOL!  Okay, confirming that I got no alerts for the last two entries, but I did get an alert for this one, so hopefully things are getting back to normal, or what passes for normal.  Are you going to watch the Patriots game tonight?  Hope the rest of your evening goes good, your snags were great!

AOL is constantly upgrading. They upgrade so much that we can't enjoy what we got because we are constantly fighting the glitches in their system. I have had times were I don't get journal entry alerts. I stop by someones journal because I hadn't heard anything in a while and they have like 10 more entries that I haven't read! -Missy

yea that has happened to me before.

    Been there, done that. Hate to say it, but that's why AOL is getting so many AIM members.
