And a BFH for said computer! Those big hammers will fix a computer everytime!Ah yes but we must always remember... to err is human, to really f*#k up you need a computer.
It's just one little thing after another, check what happens when you click leave" on a PMIt's kind of like when I try to tackle a plumbing project. As soon as I fix one leak another pops up.
Their "spring cleaning" has turned into a boondoggle.
The last thing I would try is. Uncheck the alert for "Posts in a watched forum" and "Replies to a watched thread". I'm hoping that there is a distinction between emails and alerts in the software code.
You can also mark them all as read at the bottom of the of the alerts page by clicking on you avatar(where the alerts notification is) and scrolling down to the bottom where it says "Show All" and :Mark Read Preferences". Click "Mark Read Preferences".
Final thought: Don't post any new threads or reply to any threads. Just kidding Bear.

I know what you mean. A few days ago I checked my preferences and the only thing not checked was "always email watched thread notifications". I went ahead and checked it, even though I hadn't changed anything in years.I hate to mess with things that were the way they currently are when everything worked fine for me. Makes me think the problem isn't with "My" settings.
Oh Well, 129 now.

Now I'm afraid to do anything because at least I'm getting emails now which is the only way I know about new responses
because the drop-down is funky. The # over my icon says 6 but there are 26 in the drop-down.
I've read them but they don't go away......
I know what you mean bear they used to go away when you clicked and read one or two now I have to hit mark as read at the bottom to reset the alerts to zero.Yup---Almost forgot, but did both. 119 now.
I don't think it really matters, but I like to know how may new ones are there.
I mean it's not like that number is going to get to 242 & everything blows up!!!

I just hit that button, changing it back to Zero.I know what you mean bear they used to go away when you clicked and read one or two now I have to hit mark as read at the bottom to reset the alerts to zero.
You'll need to do that whenever you want to reset it to zeroI just hit that button, changing it back to Zero.
Now I'll see what happens.

It used to do that on it's own, every time I opened them.You'll need to do that whenever you want to reset it to zero
