It looks like LJ may not be notifying people when entries are posted and their user name is tagged? In the past, LJ usually notifies a user when a post goes up with their user name in it - I don't think that happened unless you were specifically tracking the community for all posts. If you were counting on LJ to notify you when a gift was posted via an automatic email then LJ let you down.

We've noticed that our comment volume has really dropped off and a significant number of gifts haven't been commented on. The mods highly suspect it's for the above reason.

Since ALL gifts have now been posted, please take this time before reveals to thank your creator! Thanking the person who created your gift feels as good as when you get thanked yourself! We all exchange gifts with each other, so please make an effort to drop a thank you in the comments if you can.

Yeah.. I am tracking the comm, so LJ notified me of the new post, but NOT about the mentioning my name, even though THAT should work no matter what / whether I am following the person mentioning me or not...

Come to think of it ... I've been checking the comm regularly because I do that, so I think I've seen all the work notifications, but I haven't got any notifications in my email, and I do track the comm.

I also wonder whether, since we have a number of new participants, they aren't familiar with the -- local customs, I guess? -- and didn't think to take a look at posted works other than their own gifts.

Hey, Mods! I didn't have the notification turned on for comm posts, but I usually get an email anyway when my username is mentioned somewhere. I should've checked the comm regularly, I guess. Got your e-mail, though.Thanks for the reminder!
