How Many Of You Check Your Alerts?

[Chasing Embers]

Lately, there’s been a lot of activity on the forum. We went from the doldrums of Fall to the winter storms these last few weeks. I login to large numbers at the top also.

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.

You can clear it using the filter and marking it as "Read".

I just tried on my phone, but it might work on my pc. Thanks, that’s a great idea. I have done that with other alerts, just not PMs.

I always check the alerts. If somebody quotes my post or replies to a thread I'm interested in I'll look at them, otherwise I ignore.

 

[burleybreath]

Call me incurious, I suppose. I have never checked for alerts, because I didn't know the feature was there.

I turned off alerts for likes/reactions because I was missing alerts where people would quote me because 99% of them were reactions. But otherwise, I check them if I have them because it'll be that someone quoted one of my posts somewhere.

Always.
I do hate the time lost looking for the one alert that won’t clear from the red dot when there’s pages of notifications.

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

Everyone needs to send @cosmicfolklore dead links on a weekly basis!

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

I practically always check Alerts. If it's just a reply to a thread that I replied in, I don't read it.

I pretty much do the same thing!

 

[woodsroad]

I had no idea that I could disable notifications for "likes" or emojifications.
Just did it....ahhh.......

Sometimes I read those threads if I am interested in the topic.
The trouble with not reading replies that you aren't quoted in is that sometimes people reply without quoting you.

 

[georged]

emojifications.

I'm stealing that

Quality of life improvement ?

I check alerts anytime I log in.

What I meant is that sometimes people reply to other people without quoting them, so the other people just get a reply alert, not an alert that they have been quoted.
