I didn't see these suggestions until this morning, but so far still nothing in spam, and I just now added the address to my contacts. Thank you. However, I did receive two email notifications this morning, but I had thirteen notifications logging in. Maybe that's how it's intended to work? Not sure.
And thank you for all your time and patience. Someone brought it to my attention that I've posted this question twice. I'm still trying to get familiar with the site. It's overwhelming, honestly. There's so much content and so much I still need to explore, apart from just discussions. Also, I'm noticing things such as how the mobile version and the PC version seem to vary just a bit. For instance, I can see most of my posts on each device, but each has additional ones not visible on the opposing medium. Same with replies. Same with settings. Neither has everything, but maybe it's just because my account is new?
I'm not trying to be a nuisance. I do promise I'm trying to learn as much as I can as quickly as I can.
It's just a little bit fledgling-style.
