Weblog Comment Alerts
I’ve seen a lot of requests for weblog comment alerts. Mostly because we have comment alerts on lots of things: photoblogs, videoblogs, audioblogs …but not weblogs! Also, there are times I look through my feedback log and didn’t realize someone had left a comment long ago on an old post!
So, starting today, you’ll receive an email alert on weblog comments …instantly!
As mentioned earlier, you can opt out of receiving these alerts here:
So check out your email inboxes and never miss a weblog comment again!
Comments (157)
Ha! I just opted out of all the email alerts, not realizing it was a new thing. If I had brains, I’d be dangerous! Still waiting for better management of photo albums.
okay, so now.. what about the blocking feature? =D
hey chris… thought I’d email you and tell you I left a comment…
Holy cow, thank God you implemented this today and not yesterday. I would have received about 130 unwanted comment alert emails from xanga had you done this yesterday.
Thanks so much! Now I can manage my website better on tour when I don’t always have access to xanga!
Now please just enable all people to comment.
i’m telling you, the ability to reply to comments is the way to go.
Thank God you implemented this to make life more easier,what a wonderful improvement this another great opportunity to all xanga lover.
Amen to what Balistorm just said – threaded comments with reply notification would be teh r0x0rz.
And I’ll repeat what I said on your last post – it’d be nice if all of these new types of comments (audio, video, profile stuff) would show up via email in our daily feedback reports.
You know what we need? Multiple protected lists! Yes, we do, don’t we?
Yes.
More protected lists, i say. MORE!
Y’all are doing a great job! :O)
yup. ditto to muffin’s and caka’s comment.. more protected lists please =)
hah, I had noticed that happening, and I wondered to myself… why suddenly was I getting the emails? Had I turned on something unknowingly? No, though, it was you guys. Now I have tonnes of emails to delete.
I love it! Thanks!
cool greta idea
nice pic your hott
hey comment me asap
Thanks!!!
Also, as other ppl memtioned above, I want more Protected List!!!
i like it because I would always have to probe my comments to see if anything new got put in.
Thanks, man. I appriciate the work you guys put forth.
yesss suuuh
I imagine that some people will be recieving a flood of emails, so it’s a good thing we have the option to opt out.
This is an awesome improvement, regardless. Sometimes I miss a comment on an old blog, and this means I won’t miss it. Sweet.
Well since people are already asking for more protected lists, I thought that I would add that they would be greatly appreciated.
can u tell me how to change my bacground
Just another reason for me to discourage people commenting on my posts.
Eh, not interested… already checked the many “no’s” on the feature. But it’s an interesting idea, though.
Is it possible to get an option for an alert only on posts past a certain age? I don’t want alerts on comments made on recent blogs since I get a fair amount (though not a whole lot
). I’d still like to know if someone, for some reason, decides to comment on something pages back.
I didn’t like getting the emails but if you’ve gotten a lot of comments about this then who am I to argue? I’m glad you gave us the option to turn it off. Good work dude.
hey, it’d be nice if the username of the person who commented was included in the subject line of the email.. just a thought.
Hey, thats an awesome idea.!!
been waiting for something like this.
Now I don’t have to like contemplate myself looking for who commented what XD its all in my email box +) except when we fn spam each other >_>. 1337 emails is not a fun thing lol.
Lets go Team Xanga!
hey i like the pic
Nice Xanga you got there! You should see my Xanga. (I’m not telling you that I think your Xanga is stupid or anything.)You can get to it by typing in http://www.xanga.com/DEOXYS_1. You should read my latest blog entry it’s funny!
awesome
hi
When I got the alert in my Gmail, I was like “WTF? I thought I turned those off for subscriptions.” But it’s cool, I guess. Thanks.
Hi=]
Your alerts state that they are Real-Time Alerts. email is not “Real Time”. Considerable delay and latency may occur with SMTP. Besides which, even if they are fairly Near-Time, I’d have to have a third party email “real time” arrival notification system activated on my PC to even see the email arrive when it does–unless I just happen to be in email and refresh it when you send a notification. Real Real-Time alerts would require a module enabled in the Xanga application itself that signals when a comment is posted.
That’s a good idea. But maybe a limit should be set for 1 email notice per day. That way, if someone gets several comments in one day, they don’t get bombarded with one email after another…
Cool! (I was wondering why I kept getting a bunch of emails…) there’s something wrong though, comments people give give dissapearing and I’m sure as heck not doing it, I keep losing them and I don’t know why, it’s just weird…you guys do an awesome job though, GO TEAM XANGA! WOOO!!! *laughs*
Could youlike make it so I can leave blogrings without having to join new ones?
Cause it’s making me mad.
I wanna leave some of the blogrings I’m in.
But I can’t.
:’(
whats up
hey!hey! i dont know you but hi whats goin on ??? love ya!!!!
*briawna*
Hey, I like it. You guys just keep on thinking up more and more ways to do awesome things. Ya’ll do an amazing job. Keep up the good work!
Do you like Java Cakes?
I agree… replying comments would be great…
I don’t like a bunch of emails either, but that’s a good thing, it’ll discourage other spamming xanga blogs…
Thanks for that
how about a daily email…JUST one with all the comments I get SO much email
yea so im new and confused?
help por favor
YAY!
Im so happy you guys have done this!!!!
There definetly were lots of times when I’d miss comments on old posts.
Or, I wanted to comment on an old post of a friends, but I wasnt sure they’d get it….
So thanks! this is wonderful =)
Cool! Thanks!
Hey, I like yor Idea, but, I think that having a blocking feature that does nto allow selected users or IPs to view our sites would be more helpful and cool.
Multiple protected lists. Multiple protected lists. Multiple protected lists.
How about instead of adding new features, you guys work on fixing existing problems? Oh and next time you decide to add feature that e-mails you everytime someone does something on your blog, you might want to start with the default being OFF. I was not happy when I opened my e-mail box the other day to find it filled with e-mails stating I have a new comment. It was almost as bad as the regular SPAM I get.
Also, since people above me mentioned protected list, wasn’t it promised when you guys first introduced protected posts that premium users would get more then one protected list once the testing period was over. Pretty long testing period.
cool
Personally, I was not impressed by this feature. For one thing, it was turned on by default. By the time I got around to checking my e-mail, my inbox was flooded with notices about comments I’d already read. I check Xanga before my e-mail, so this really isn’t useful.
Besides, isn’t this what Xanga Dash was for? I can always tell whenever I’ve been left feedback, because it appears on Dash. And…Dash doesn’t clutter the inbox when informing you. It’s just so handy…Dash is the best thing you guys have ever done.
Speaking of Dash…isn’t the main purpose of Xanga still leaving comments on weblog entries? So why do Footprints and Messages come first on the list before E-props and Comments? Just a thought.
waz^………………Please Give Me A Comment………………………………….[iloveSteven96]
hello thanks for that really funny addon, still having audio problems wich will be solved the next days, happy weekend. Knut
HEY WHAT UP NOTHEN HERE SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR TALK TO ME

[[ooc: totally awesome! thx!!! XD]]
Cool idea, cause I leave links to all my poems and stories listed in a writing module and I never know if someone’s left a new comment on one of them.
Thanks.

What are footprints? Anyone? I’m trying to figure out what that means on my Xanga dash? Help!
Personally, I’m glad I found out about this from someone else before my inbox got spammed. I think this is good only for those who 1. don’t use dashboard (most don’t I guess) and 2. don’t get that many comments or if they do 3. have lots of time to wa-I mean spend. =)
No, not more protected listings, just blocking of users. So they can’t even view the site.
where do people get the music and pictures
hey my friend would like to go out with you butwell um i do not know if you are cute because all you have are dog picture’s
love miley
