Summary

Tara Desai is experiencing issues with Medium's communication features, including not receiving emails about claps, comments, or highlights, and is inquiring if others are facing similar problems.

Abstract

Tara Desai has been encountering difficulties with Medium's notification system for nearly two weeks. She reports not receiving any communication from Medium's [email protected] and has not seen claps on her stories, nor the names of readers who highlight text. Additionally, there has been a change in the layout of her profile information and notifications from a horizontal to a vertical bar. Despite receiving an assurance from [email protected] that the issues are being addressed, Tara has not observed any improvements. Her email settings are correct, and she has verified that Medium-related emails are not blocked. She continues to receive notifications about responses and comments but is concerned about the lack of updates from Medium and wonders if others are experiencing the same issues.

Opinions

  • Tara is concerned about the lack of communication from Medium and the changes in the platform's user interface.
  • She appreciates any replies and solutions that others might have found to the issues she's facing.
  • Tara has received a response from Medium indicating that they are working on the problems, but she remains skeptical as she has not seen any improvements.
  • She believes that it is unusual for there to be no new articles published by anyone she follows, suggesting a potential issue with the platform's content distribution.
  • Despite assurances from friends like Thief and Hollie not to worry, Tara is still troubled by the situation and is seeking confirmation from others who may be affected.

Do You Face a Similar Problem?

Dear All

Good morning

I have a problem for the past almost 2 weeks.

I don’t get any communication from medium [email protected]

I just wish to check if any of you are still facing a similar problem.

I appreciate your reply and the solution if you have found.

I received a reply on 1st Feb from [email protected] “We are working to improve this, please bear with us”

to my following questions dated 29th Jan.

1. I do not see the claps now to my story but only comments.

2. I don’t see the names of the readers who highlight the text of my story but I highlighted the text.

3. My horizontal bar like profile photo, notifications etc are now in the vertical bar.

Earlier I was getting info on my email like:

  • Name of the readers who have clapped, commented, highlighted.
  • Published articles from the subscribed authors, as I have subscribed to many writers.
  • Medium digest every day

I have checked my email setting, I have NOT BLOCKED any ids from the above communications. I have verified and again included it in safe ids.

In the medium setting, the following are all on.

· Medium Digest

On

…..

However, I get notification about response, comments, new followers on my site.

Although Thief and Hollie told me not to worry, I am wondering, whether a similar situation is faced by others too. I don’t believe in these days no body has published any article.

Thanks in advance for your reply. Tara Desai
