Mwalters, we had to block incoming emails from Verizon because they were getting caught in a loop and creating a lot of duplicate posts. This has happened twice before. Once Verizon fixes the problem we will unblock the emails. You can follow/friend us on Brightkite and Twitter (username Brightkite) for status updates on things like this.

Anyone been able to do this successfully recently? I've tried sending several messages to the private email address and they don't seem to be coming in. In the text area I should be able to put like "! test" and that show up as a note for where I'm currently at correct?

Is there any way you could let people know somehow when this problem crops up? I've had several SMS checkins get ignored, and i would have gone back to sending emails from vzwpix.com if i had known. I realize this isn't the highest priority in the world, but even if there were a Twitter account that I could subscribe to -- say, just for Brightkite status updates, or even just for VZW-to-Bkite status updates -- that would do it. This might be easier than just leaving it up to individual users to notice that updates aren't posting.

Thanks Lesley..I'll go back to using picture messaging without a picture (which comes in from vzwpix.com not vtext.com) to use brightkite from my phone. This is what I did last time it malfunctioned. Would be a helluva lot easier if they would just start supporting brightkite by standard SMS – bodhi, on July 23, 2008 00:53

Yes, the Verizon duplicate problem is back. We have disabled incoming emails from Verizon for right now. Once they fix the problem again, we will let you know.

is it broken again? all of a sudden starting yesterday (and continuing through to today) I got a ton of brightkite confirmations of me checking in, even though I only checked in once, and my stream shows me checking in many times. same for a friend, also on verizon. – bodhi, on July 22, 2008 18:22

I have a "subject" line on my Verizon phone (LG Chocolate), which works pretty well for setting the caption. – kyleslattery, on July 21, 2008 20:01

We now have global on/off switches for notifications under Account Settings --> Notifications.

We know that these notification settings can be both confusing and frustrating. We are working on a global notification option that will remedy this, bear with us.

I was also very frustrated that I was receiving SMS notifications even though I thought they were turned off. But then I read gir42's comment above and found out that you have to go and edit your friendship... Not a good user experience, especially when I have to pay for SMS!!! A global setting should be exactly that... global.
