Is this feature lost or is it me. It was the only way for me to remember to answer peoples posts. Thanks JK
Has anyone else noticed a bug with the 'alerts' notification? I've been using it just as JK mentions above, but finally realized that only some of the threads I'm 'watching' are actually appearing under alerts when someone posts. Im starting to notice this by first reading my alerts and then checking the 'what's new' link, only to find more new posts in threads I'm already watching (which didn't show up under alerts).
Did some thread subscriptions get corrupted even where the thread wasn't lost? Am i just pointing out the obvious?
The alert is set up to tell you the first time that someone has replied to a thread you're watching and it includes the note, 'there may be more after this'. Notifications sent on the old system were set up the same way.
hmmm... I had to go back and make sure I was actually still subscribed to all the threads I thought I was. Some I'd missed and until I re-subscribed, I didn't see any activity on them either.
Ok just checked that out too, interesting and I hadn't noticed before, but also unrelated. Seems weird that both those links use 'unreads' as default.One more possibility; when you click on 'watched threads', you'll notice the descriptor reads "Unread Watched Threads". Personally, I hate this. I want to see all the threads I've subscribed to, every time. Fortunately, there is a way to do this: If you scroll to the bottom of the list, there is a small line in grey text that says, "show all watched threads". Click on THAT and you'll see all the threads you've subscribed to.
Ha, fortran = old dude (me too), at least old within IT culture. So I've been watching my alerts while we're both posting live, and fwiw this thread finally just showed up. I wonder if maybe there's a timeout difference between alerts vs the watched link? Like maybe they only show as new for a certain period under alerts? Any feedback from admin?
not sure cause I have that turned off, just using the cp pulldownsShouldn't we receive an an email alert for the first new post to a watched thread? I know that I am only receiving random email alerts for new posts in watched threads... The majority of the time I don't receive any email alert at all...
If you subscribe to a thread and 5 people reply to it, you will receive ONLY 1 email alert telling you that people replied to your thread. You will not receive new emails unless you visit your thread. Once you viewed the all posts into thread, we record that and will send a new email if other people reply after. That is done to save server resources, we send every day thousands of emails. :)Shouldn't we receive an an email alert for the first new post to a watched thread?

Unfortunately, no.Is there a way to get a daily digest like before?
