How Many Of You Check Your Alerts?

[telescopes]

If you get an alert from me, it’s probably a joke referencing this thread. Just so you know.

 

[HawkeyeLinus]

When I log in I usually run through the list of alerts, particularly checking quotes when they’re listed.

Yep

 

[fireground_piper]

On the other hand, maybe some alerts are best left alone!

Tagging someone with the @ sign before their username sends an alert to that user. It's a useful tool when trying to herd the cats in the Secret Santa thread.

Apparently.

I feel it's courteous to respond to quotes. Unfortunately, I don't log in every day so I'm often late in doing so.

 

[Bassman65]

Yup. Gotta get rid of the red dot.

 

[mortonbriar]

Yes, I glance for red to check before I scroll through to see what is new...most years very little content is actually new, but I just can't seem to walk away, I guess you are a pretty good collection of folk for the most part...seasons greetings to you all!

 

[RPK]

Every time I log on.

 

[MisterBadger]

I was beginning to wonder whether checking the alerts every time I log on, was an irrational compulsion. Well if it is, I see a lot of other folks have it too

 

[johnnyflake]

Now and again, I do forget to check them, but for the most part, I check them!

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

I only see alerts for quotes and when I see one, I check it out.

 

[JOHN72]

Yes, especially when a snowstorm comes, I usually carry a blanket and whiskey in the car.

 

[hakchuma]

My pipe world is lonely and doesn't exist outside my smoking den. I'm usually on only when smoking a pipe. the alert bell is the first thing I look at.

I also have an email stuck in my inbox. Someone had sent me a link that goes straight to a 404 page. So, I always have at least a 1 up there.

That would play such hell with my OCD, you have no idea...

When I asked Kevin about it to see if it could be fixed, it seemed to trigger him just hearing about it. Ha ha.
But, I understand that some glitches are out of his control. Or, maybe he just gets a kick out of knowing it drives me a wee bit bonkers, ha ha. JK

I like when you see an old post get hundreds of reactions (super dramatic overexageration). But it gives an excuse to reread. Also interesting to see what you most popular comments are.

 

[Grangerous]

Yes

 

[Richmond B. Funkenhouser]

Hell no... I'm too cool for a pipe forum.

 

[RAGallup]

I always check, it's just my habit.
