Resolved Not receiving all Alerts

[Benjamin Strange]

I've noticed that sometimes I'm not being alerted when there's new posts in several threads I am in involved with ("Watching"). Sometimes I have to hunt down the thread I was watching and check it manually, instead of just clicking on the alert drop down menu. There doesn't seem to be any particular pattern - sometimes I'm notified, and sometimes not. I've also noticed that when clicking on All Alerts, some threads that I'm involved in don't show up on the list at all. Could there be a bug in the alerting system?

How do I clear old alerts without losing e-mail notifications? Many pages of alerts backing up, is this something to even care about?

Not something to worry about. It's just a rolling queue, if that makes sense. There's no way to delete them.

Thanks for quick reply. Seems like a waste of storage space.

I have, that's the weird part. Oddest part is, I just got a flood of alerts right now on Chrome on the laptop.

TBH there's a chance it's not you; the iOS device I notice this problem on is fairly old now and is likely behind a rev or two. I know how inconsistent web client behavior can be at times.

Think I may have pinned this down.

If I have a thread update AND a like on a comment in the same thread, I have to acknowledge the like alert and the thread update alert before future alerts, of any kind, show up for that thread.
