Emails to notify me of Comments does not work
Permalink
Hello,
I discovered recent Spam on the comments of my blog since December 31st, and they hit my Blogs randomly. Now I am in the process of deleting. Problems:
1) I went into one Blog that had good comments from a person I know, but when I decided to update the Guestbook Block and Turned On "need approval" then entered my email address - info@GeminiUniversal.com - and updated, it deleted all the good comments PLUS the Spam! Is there anyway to get the good comments back?
2) I went into another Blog and Turned On "need approval" and entered my email address - I've tried a few times now to enter a comment of my own to see if I get alerted to go back in and "approve" the comment, but no notifications have hit my info@GeminiUniversal.com email box. What could be wrong? The function is telling me "my comment has been posted" - I don't see it, of course, because it needs approved. But if I don't get an email alert, how do I know to look?
UPDATE! it worked when I entered a comment with my comcast email...I got the alert at my info@GeminiUniversal.com - However, it did NOT work when I entered a comment using my yahoo email....NO alerts came through to info@GeminiUniversal.com
????? Any ideas here of what's wrong?
3) It seems cumbersome to go into every Blog individually and Turn On Comments - is there some master page where this can be fixed, or is it really individual for every blog?
Help please.... Thanks!!
