Fixed Alerts not showing for *some* watched threads

[The Heretic]

I don't see a pattern here - some threads I get alerts for, others I do not.

I have all of my alert options turned on (not talking about email, just the Alerts menu upper right corner).

Some threads I watch - like the humor threads - I get an alert for - others I do not.

E.G., I have a WTB thread I posted quite a while ago, I went to bump it and noticed someone posted to it last week and I did not see an alert. This is defintely a thread I watch.

It is my understanding that if you post to any thread, the forum sets it as being "watched" by you and then you have to unwatch it to not get alerts for it. But I have been noticing that many threads I have posted to I do not get an alert for, but I am still watching them, and there are new posts to them because they show up in "new".

It's always been that way for me!

This does sound like an issue. Try checking all three of these boxes in your Preferences and let me know if that helps.

I have noticed the same thing.

For a few days I did have all three checked but I wasn't paying attention to this issue during those days. I decided I didn't like having to mark the alerts as read so I turned that one off. But I turned it back on and I will try to pay attention this time.

OK.

Found a watched thread with a new post, showing up in the new posts list/tab, that did not show up in my alerts after I had all three of those alert preferences checked:

The Generic Backup

I have a bunch of different hunting rifles that are fairly specific to a type of hunting. To me, having a “300 Win Mag” doesn’t mean anything. It’s how the rifle is set up. However, I always have a generic do-it-all rifle just in case. Something that will work in the timber, but will also...

So that made no difference IMO

Ok, thanks for the info

 

[The Heretic]

Just noticed two more threads.

 

[BigDog67]

Still happening today.

 

[The Heretic]

Yeah, it has been happening for a while.

Not a big deal, but it does sound like a bug to me.

I can't see a pattern to it though.

I know, some I get alerts on and others I "find" in New Posts. I can see not getting an alert for someone on my ignore list, but that is not the case.
