There’s a box to check at the bottom of the commenting box to indicate that you want to receive notifications by email whenever anyone comments on a post. I’ve been checking that box when I leave comments. I haven’t received one notification from this site. I even checked my spam folder, and there wasn’t anything there that could have been from comments on this blog. Have those notifications been working for anyone? Does anyone have any idea what might be going on?

It doesn’t work for me either.

The website itself seems to be a bit quirky, fading in and out somewhat haphazardly. Trying to get to it at all often produces only an error message.

I’ve checked that box on a couple of comments here previously, and have not received any notifications for the comments that were posted subsequently.

I haven’t tried these checkboxes, but I’ve noticed another problem:
In every comment, the date/time-stamp is supposed to be a direct link to that comment, using the “#comment-1256″ style of in-page links.
But the blog’s template doesn’t include the in-page bookmarks to make them work. For it to work, the beginning of the comment needs a line like one of these:
<a name=”comment-1256″></a>
or
<div id=”comment-1256″></div>
Those HTML tags will do absolutely nothing, except serve as the in-page marker allowing you to append “#comment-1256″ to the link.
So, to the blog-master: There might be a setting you can check in the Theme settings to turn this on. Or, you might have to go into the PHP for the template, and add this. (I’m not sure what the PHP variable name is, though. You could probably find it by looking at the code that creates the date/time-stamp links.)
