Alerts stopped alerting.

I encountered an issue on the forum where threads that I'm watching stopped sending alerts to me when there are new messeges in them. I can clearly see that the thread has new posts but nothing comes up in my alert section.

There is probably some explanation for this but because OP is fag and can't into internet forums, I don't know what it is.

Just did, and didn't help. For example there is a new messege in the nex-gen console thread (that I watch) I see it when I enter "what's new" and yet nothing shows up in my alert section.

Are you sure the alerts didn't just expire. Sometimes after a long time of receiving alerts but not posting in a specific thread, I stop receiving alerts for that thread. Opening the last page of the thread usually fixes it.

Might be a bit of a stretch, but maybe this is what's happening with you?

This. Alerts + Not visiting thread = no more alerts.

You only receive alerts if there are more posts since the last time you opened the thread.

And it's easy to miss an alert now and then, if your mouse pointer happens to find itself hovering above Alerts without your realizing it. :oops:

On that note, is there any way we can get a button that opens all alerts in separate tabs at once? It sucks waking up in the morning to come back to 20 alerts and then being forced to count them off as you open them.

Yeah, I realized that just recently. Is it a hard wired feature? Or can it be changed?
Personally I'd prefer to receive alerts even for threads I haven't visited for a while.

You can also middle click (or whatever your preferred method is for opening a new tab) the alerts link and it will open all alerts.

Speaking of alerts, I wonder what happens if I type Liberal ? Can I summon the original Liberal?
