Julie, I never miss reading any of your comments in the threats that I follow. And I enjoy them very much!Julie2owlsdene wrote:I don't get email notifications, I don't want to be flooded out with emails. I just check the site a few times during the day and view Active Posts. I too can't reply to everything as I don't have the time, only if I feel my input is needed. And some may think it isn't!
I get notifications, because at least twice a year I take time off from the computer for several weeks (chronic tendonitis) and then try to catch up on the notifications from EBS later on when my right arm feels better again.
Actually I don't get flooded with EBS notifications (maybe a dozen per day), but I certainly did get flooded with Facebook notifications in my Yahoo inbox since I've joined them in 2014. Some friends shared about 100 websites per day with me (how I envy them for having that much time!!!). I got tendonitis just from clicking delete 100+ times a day whenever I checked Yahoo. Finally my husband helped me turn those FB notifications off.
The bad thing about turning them off is that you no longer know about upcoming birthdays, but that can't be helped.
I'm also a member in a German nostalgia website for Baby Boomers and in a Yahoo Group on French author Anne Golon (Angélique), but they are not nearly as active as EBS.
I spend least of my time on FB as their many selfies and pics of exotic drinks really don't interest me. So I might miss some really good things on FB, but simply cannot read everything. I have my priorities and EBS is definitely one of them.
