"So-and-so has added you as a friend"

mood: accomplished
Another handy feature that's darn hard to find: the email notification option for new friend notices.

It's right here: http://www.insanejournal.com/manage/subscriptions/

I think that the "all comments in my journal on any post" option will copy your own replies back to you in email; if you're getting comment notifications okay, leave that one alone.    ^__^

So far, all I've done is go back to LJ and see what the web address is for those useful things, then add the necessary stuff to the end of the InsaneJournal addy -- and so far, it's worked like a charm.

Now to figure out if/how to get notifications for individual journal updates/community posts, and if it's not available, to ask Squeaky most humbly to make it happen.  ^_____^

ETA: The thumbtack feature to keep track of posts et al is found when you actually click on a cut/view comments/otherwise go to the actual post. It's right there in the little toolbar -- just like on LJ.

Have you found anything resembling the message center/inbox function here?

Like the "recent" (under "journal") feature?

That one I found :) No, I was looking for something like LJ has in addition to the recent comments feature. It also shows you birthdays and tagged comments. It lives here http://www.livejournal.com/inbox on your LJ. I'm not sure what it's officially called.

I've been poking around IJ for a bit and hadn't stumbled across it, so figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Thanks!

Hmm, it's not something I've ever used, but I took your link as a starting point and found...absolutely nothing of the sort here. Don't know if I'm looking in the wrong place, or if it's a newer LJ feature that IJ just doesn't have yet.

If you miss it badly, you may want to drop a note at the Support desk. ^____^

It goes a long way toward making this place more comfy, doesn't it? ^___^

Yes, definitely - but somehow, it doesn't seem to work for me :(

I've tried repeatedly to get those functions to work over the past few weeks and no dice.

Weird...some other folks have pointed out that, when you go back to the page, the ticky-boxes are all blank again. I'll ask around.

Awesome, thank you! I'd thought IJ didn't have that and was sad, because it's so convenient.

More and more, it looks like IJ has most of the same features as LJ -- you just have to find them. ^__^

It isn't working for me. Is it for paid accounts only?

Very cool, thanks for finding it and posting!

I'm a little confused by the format of that page, though. It's ticky boxes, and a save button, right? But I ticked boxes, pushed save and then it just reloaded the page with none of the boxes ticked. Is this supposed to happen, or is my computer acting funny? If that's what's happening for everyone - how can I see that my selections actually went through, and how could I unselect them if I chose to in the future?

It is doing the same thing for me. I don't have a clue if it actually is set up or how to change options, I may open a support request.
