The Horrible Hack is a horrible hack (exploiting some unknown little blip in the code, but without harmful effects) which somehow prevents some of the notifications from going through the inbox.

[15:24] rahaeli: go to the notifications page 
[15:24] rahaeli: uncheck both "comments in my journal" and "replies to my comments" 
[15:24] rahaeli: save 
[15:24] rahaeli: check ONLY "replies to my comments" 
[15:24] rahaeli: save 
[15:24] rahaeli: both will then be checked 
[15:25] rahaeli: but you should only get replies in email 
[15:25] rahaeli: you'll have to do that every time you change a notification, but it should work on LJ too 
[15:25] LivredOr: seriously? there's a fix for it? 
[15:26] rahaeli: well, it's not so much a fix as a horrible hack 
[15:26] rahaeli: but :)
