a useful LJ thingy

[dianec42]

Thanks to tpau for pointing this out...

Comments aren't getting mailed with any reliability. But if you go to the "My LJ" portal thingy, you can see the last 5 comments that you got. Yay, useful!

(Hey, it was news to me.)

An even better thing to know about is the Recent Comments (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/recent_comments.bml) tool. This shows you more than "My LJ".

Where do you find these thing?! I am but a dumb end-user, and I do not see that (or the userpics thing you posted about a while ago) anywhere in my menus...

Perhaps more caffeine is required to enhance my powers of perception...

I find it useful to have a TobyTM around. I find it a very useful device for keeping me up to date with things like this. Otherwise I'd have given up long ago :-)

I dunno, those are awfully high-maintenance. (And in our house I seem to be the designated Toby quite a bit of the time!)

They get mentioned periodically on the community LJ_nifty. Another useful one is your friends of friends list (works only for paid users): http://www.livejournal.com/users/cahwyguy/friendsfriends (of course, replace cahwyguy with your username)

Ironically, I JUST got the email notifying me of this comment. (-:

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be anything to tell me when someone has responded to a comment I left in another journal, apart from the emails. Oh well, some of those conversations are probably better off dead at this point... (-:
