Yahoo and aol changed some settings (DMARC, maybe?) and our comments go nowhere. There are so many wonderful things about blogs, email, the internet, modern technology -- and then there is this one problem with comments. Things change often and maybe this will change one of these days and we'll be back to easy comments and responses. <br />--Nancy.

I've also had trouble with not receiving comments in my email that were made by people with yahoo accounts. I'm not sure what the problem is (in my heart of hearts, I think it's that Google wants people to sign up for Google+ and set up circles, etc.) but I highly recommend leaving your email address on comments if you want a response!Sarah Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18393284767325742399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-87608701443793348992016-06-08T16:42:26.232-04:002016-06-08T16:42:26.232-04:00It's so silly for blogger to allow comments wi...It's so silly for blogger to allow comments with links to profiles, but then not provide a method for contact. When I checked for no-reply, I came across a blogger help post that stated blogger defaulted to no-reply on purpose. Has something to do with spam and what the help desk is receiving. Thanks to this blog I found the email option and hopefully fixed it!

Ther...Congratulations to your lucky winners Sandra!<br />There is definitely something going on with Blogger and it is a real mess and a disservice to their users. There are more no-reply commenters than ever before. So many times in the hop I wanted to reply and thank people, but couldn't. A few people shared such beautiful stories about their first quilts, but they now probably think I didn't care. You did an excellent job showing exactly how this frustrating process of finding contact information goes. <br />I hope the everyday crap you are dealing with isn't too crappy :(Lara B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15135992633781076268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-329866653920727882016-06-07T17:46:55.429-04:002016-06-07T17:46:55.429-04:00hope your day is better tomorrow :) I found out I ...hope your day is better tomorrow :) I found out I was a no reply blogger through a friend - its something that Blogger did recently - so now I leave my email address just in case !! although I will take your advice and write it differently to stop those spam trawlers :)leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08907659541783694577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-26527993526544749552016-06-07T10:23:23.534-04:002016-06-07T10:23:23.534-04:00I have the same problem so have left messages on ...I have the same problem so have left messages on blogger plus and still have nit heard backbarbara woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07824180957906837061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-2681936821689930632016-06-07T09:50:56.206-04:002016-06-07T09:50:56.206-04:00OH, Sandra, I'm so sorry you have to put up wi...OH, Sandra, I'm so sorry you have to put up with this CRAP about no-reply blog goers! I was one until about 6 months ago until someone tracked me down and let me know. I had no clue that I was a no-replier! Hopefully, this post will help those lost folks who've been missing out. Thank you, Sweetie, for the shout out for my little blog!

Firstl...Sandra, another brilliant informative post. Firstly, thank you so much for my prize, I am OVER the moon with happiness. It is the first thing I have ever won but that could have been due to my second point.... I was a no reply blogger, ignorant of the fact. Until you posted a reply back to a question I had asked, in your blog of course as you had no way of contacting me. It took some time to sort out but probably due to my lack of technical skills but I am so glad I did get it sorted because now I get replies to my comments. Instead of thinking people hadn't read them or weren't bothering to reply. Having seen this post, it made me realise just how much effort is involved for you lovely people who take the time and trouble to blog.... so I would urge everyone to check their reply status. Sorry for lengthy reply, it is probably the sun here in the UK, we are not used to it lol.
