Don't get comments from one particular news site
I'm not sure how to word this correctly, but I'll try. I write into a news site, in their comment section on a regular basis. And for years I've gotten responses from other readers on a very regular basis. In other words.....I read and article, and then I respond in the comment section, (in this case it's Newsmax) and more times than not I get a response from another reader. This has been going on for years. Now all of a sudden I don't get those responses. And I would notice, because more times than not i get angry responses from readers who vehemently disagree with me! I wrote to Newsmax to tell then of this problem....they checked, and found what I needed to do to correct it. I did. It must have been some glitch along the way, to change the way things were.
Anyway....I made the changes necessary, and that mostly had to do with making sure their "no-reply@newsmax.com was added to all of my address books, and wouldn't make their way to my "junk' folder etc. When in fact, while checking my address book and junk folder etc, those missing responses never made their way to those folders. They were nowhere to be found at all. So their other direction was to get in touch with TB and find out from this end what might be wrong! So that's what I'm doing. I miss bantering back and forth with other readers and commenters, but no matter what I do I can't get a response! Any help figuring this out would be more that greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Michael

I hate to be the one to say this, but I think you need to look elsewhere. Mail simply missing is usually something the mail provider does. The company whose name is after the @ in your email address. If you account is POP, some providers offer what they classified as spam regardless. Other just simply pretend they did and it accumulates in an online spam folder and you never see it. Same for the adding of addresses to the address book. Sometimes you have to also add it to a web mail contacts to allow stuff to get through (read yahoo there particularly)
Okay...so now I'm even more confused. I've been receiving comments from Newsmax for years now! I comment on an article, and typically I get a response from another reader. I've not made any changes I can think of that would cause this to happen. I've followed all of the instructions Newsmax has given me, and yet I still get no responses regardless of the situation! Now you're saying these can be hidden from me, and I can't see another readers response. Why after all these years would this change? I know I'm a total computer dummy, (well, on most things) but this doesn't make sense. Something, somewhere changed and it has to be able to be fixed. Thank you so much for your response....but there must be something else somewhere!
