We used to have a fine notification service that sent an email once
anything was posted on our question page.

Unfortunately with the service down we cannot tell when someone has
taken the time to post a comment on an old question. With fresh
questions we can check into 'My Account' from time-to-time but we can
miss requests for clarifications when some Researcher is hard at work on an
answer.

Over 1 month ago this problem was reported. A day later I received the
following response: "Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention.
We have forwarded the information you provided to the appropriate team
for further investigation. We appreciate your patience, and we apologize
for any inconvenience this may have caused."

Can someone in the know find out when and if we are going to get our
notification service back?

Thank you.

Unfortunately, we researchers are not much wiser than you on this. I
understand that the problem has not yet been resolved and no date has
been forecast for its resolution.

You can also enter your name and/or a keyword or the number of your
question in the search box below and get, respectively,
the questions you have posted or comment on in the order of the most
recent postings to the questions  (e.g. uzzz-ga tent caterpillars ;);
those questions with your name and/or the keyword;
or just your single question.

I asked the Editors yesterday about the problem, pointing out that is
not just a "nice" additional service but one that expedites
communication and avoids disgruntling (?) users who don't live here.
The reply:  
"In addition, we are aware of the situation surrounding the email
notifications. We are working towards a solution. Thank you for your
patience.

Sincerely,

The Google Answers Team"

It must be a pretty big problem,

Sadly, the situation has now been solved:
