Not receiving notifications
Perhaps you have noticed the phrase "Not receiving notifications" behind some individuals names. Well, here is the reason. We are no longer receiving Goodreads notifications being sent to our, in my case, Gmail account. I still get notifications such as a book being offered in a giveaway and updates of reviews from friends, but I no longer hear of people liking one of my reviews or responses to comments. I tried contacting the GRs help desk but all they did was refer me to comments made by others complaining about the same problem.
Now in all honesty I can see the notifications on my GRs page but it is a hassle. I mean you look at the first one on the list and then you have to scroll down to the next. And after seeing that one and checking it out, you have to go back to the beginning and scroll down again. What if you have a couple of hundred that you need to scroll down past? My finger gets tired from rolling that wheel to scroll down. If the notifications are sent to my Gmail account I can simply delete them after reading them.
So, no, my problem is not fixed. And I am mad! And believe it or not I got so fed up that I stayed off of GRs for about week. I even thought of quitting GRs altogether, or maybe starting over under a new name. If anybody from Goodreads sees this, please fix my problem, and then fix it for my friends as well.
