Question thread #61

[pauamma]

It's time for another question thread!

The rules:

- You may ask any dev-related question you have in a comment. (It doesn't even need to be about Dreamwidth, although if it involves a language/library/framework/database Dreamwidth doesn't use, you will probably get answers pointing that out and suggesting a better place to ask.)
- You may also answer any question, using the guidelines given in To Answer, Or Not To Answer and in this comment thread.

I'm having a bit of a dilemma. For some reason, email notifications stopped working on my site a few days ago and I haven't been able to figure out why. First they were working and then boom, two days later they weren't. I hadn't worked on the site at all during this time, so I'm not really sure where to even begin with this. :(

ETA: I forgot to add what is probably a very important tidbit: I get the "Welcome to Your Site" email notifications just fine when I create an account. It appears to be comment reply notifications that aren't being sent. Any ideas?

I've been wondering, what's the logic behind making user's Reading page public?

I mean, the list of followed blogs/comms of a user is public, and so are the posts that are displayed, therefore nothing is technically divulged that couldn't be obtained in other ways. But all other social media I know of treat feeds/dashboards as private.
