E-mail notifications for comments on Blogger

I know that lots of us have been experiencing problems with receiving e-mail notifications of comments on our Blogger sites.  Thanks to a prompt from Gattina I've pasted below the info that's on the Blogger help page.  They claim to have made improvements BUT to get them you will need to:
  • Go into settings on your Blogger dashboard (on left hand side of page)
  • Click on e-mail
  • Delete the comment notification e-mail address(es)
  • SAVE your settings
  • Close the dashboard then open it up again.
  • Go back to SETTINGS & E-MAIL
  • Re-enter the e-mail address(es) for comment notification
  • SAVE your settings.
  • You should then get an e-mail asking you to confirm you want to subscribe to comments. Click subscribe to start getting notifications again.
It definitely worked for me - I posted a comment on my own blog to test it.
This is the Blogger help info:


Thank you for your patience. I'm happy to inform you all that the email notifications for comments capability is now functioning with some additional improvements:

What's changed:
When an email address is added in the Comment moderation (Settings > Posts, comments and sharing > Comment moderation), Comment Notification Emails (Settings > Email > Comment Notification Email), or Email posts to (Settings > Email > Email posts to) fields, notifications are not necessarily enabled as they were before. Instead, if an email address is added to these fields, an email is sent inviting the email owner to either accept or decline the subscription. If the owner accepts, they will receive email notifications on new posts/comments. If the owner declines, the email address will be immediately removed from the field in their Settings.

Please note that when you enter an email alias that includes multiple members (for example: myc...@googlegroups.com), all members of the group will receive the invitation to either accept or decline the subscription.

When email notifications are sent, an unsubscribe link will also be available at the bottom of the email, should the recipient(s) wish to opt-out. Therefore, if any member of a group alias clicks the 'Unsubscribe' link, the entire group alias will be unsubscribed.
