Something odd:

On my PC I have the existing site open to Bass, I have the existing site open to 2024 Feedback, I have the Fun site open to Bass. (3 tabs at the top of my screen)

On my iPhone I have the existing site open to Bass only.

On my PC, I'll get a notification either on the Fun site or the existing site, depending on where the response or like or quote was made.

However, on my iPhone 10, I get notifications regardless if the like, quote or reply was made on the existing site or the fun site.

Wow, B! That sounds like your iPhone TB logon recognizes your PC logon to both sites! What kind of alerts do you get? Do you have an iPhone-to-PC app installed, and possibly running, on both machines?

I have both sites open on my tablet, but I only see alerts in each appropriate tab. I don't get any email alerts, only circled numbers in the top menus. I admit, though, the first time I got alerts on the live site for new threads in this TB 2024 forum I was confused! But, that is no crossover like you're describing. Hmmm ...

How do you receive Sandbox alerts on your iPhone? Surely not thru the live site's Alerts drop-down, huh? I've not seen that.

Maybe a screenshot would help?

I go to SIRI and open the TB page (which I always have on the ready) and look at the flag at the top right.
I also could be mistaken. :woot:

[edit] Yeah, I think I am mistaken.:facepalm:

A. I turned off "like" notifications long ago due to too much clutter.

2. Whew! Yeah, having this forum about the Sandbox hosted on the live site is still somewhat confusing to me!!!

. And the Sandbox seems to have several notification locations!?! Seems like all the navigation menus can have their own different numbers of alerts, in addition to the top right avatar having its alert number!?! And sometimes the alerts overlap into several categories (menus), so clearing one can change the other numbers!?! Here's a screenshot right after I cleared a bunch of alerts, but then the "Hot" list got one! :roflmao:
