This has been happening for a while. I'll post on a thread or select the "Watch" tab but I won't get alerts for some threads.
Is this normal?
Does this happen to anyone else?
Is there a way this can be fixed?

Are you clicking to get email notifications as well? (If that's how you want to be alerted?) I am getting all of my notifications

When I am signed on, I get alert notifications of new posts to threads I am watching via my email (on my computer). However, I do not enable 'push notifications', so I do NOT get any notifications to my email (on my phone) if I am not logged on. Could that be the issue for any of you?

I have, however, noticed, that the 'older' a thread is the more likely it is that I won't get a notification at all - logged on or not.

Are we talking alerts in the menu at the top of the page or email alerts? Also, you will only get an alert teh first time someone responds to a thread you are watching. You will not get additional alerts until you visit the thread.

That sounds like that's it. Is there a reason that you don't alerts until you visit a thread again?

It's just the way the system it is set up. For example, if someone was following this thread and had read up until your post #7, they should have gotten an alert for my post #8, but wouldn't get one for #9. If they had come on and read post #8 before #9 was posted, they should have gotten an alert for post #9.

I'm probably not the best one to answer this as I don't follow any threads. :paperbag:
