Message Center Alerts?

[+ Gar1eth]

When I post a thread or answer a thread, the setting to alert me (the bell icon in the Message Center) shows me a thread I've originated has been responded to, someone has replied to a post I've made on someone else's thread, someone has replied to me, someone has invoked my screen name in a thread, or something similar. However in the 'Friday Funnies' thread I often don't get notified of new posts. Anyone else experience this?

My experience is that if I don't go view a thread after getting the first notification, I usually won't get further notifications for subsequent updates.

@Gar1eth, I assume you're talking about new postings that aren't replies to or quotes of your earlier posts. The only thing I can think of is that somehow you've unwatched the thread. At the top right of the page to see if the little box says 'Watch' or 'Unwatch'. If it says 'Watch' it means you won't receive notifications. Click on it, and it will prompt you to choose system alerts or both them and an e-mail.

No, Mike. It says 'Unwatch' but I still don't usually receive alerts when there is a new post in that thread.
