Alerts...

[Mr.Mann]

I'm getting alerts to new posts in a thread, I've posted in, but I have this turned off in alert preferences? How do I stop these?

I'm trying to figure out how to start them! Everything is set-up right (I think?!), but I seldom get alerts. When I do get them, sometimes the thread has moved on for pages and pages. I got an alert today from the SX Mini M Class thread and I hadn't gotten one since the first time I posted in that thread -- and that was right when that mod came out!

No not watching the thread and have unclicked alert to replies in watched threads. The poster is not in my friends list either. The sub-forum is watched but that should not mean I want alerts to every post that happens in it. Especially when I unclick alert to replies in watched threads.

Wow. That's the exact opposite problem I was having. But I saw you posted in this thread, so mine may now be fixed.

Found it. Turns out not all alert preferences are in alert preferences settings. When on the list of watched forums, put a check mark in the box for the target forum, the drop down at the bottom has a choice for disable alerts.

Now hopefully I'll still get alerts when someone quotes or tags me.
