    Is it just me or this is also happening to someone else?
    My alerts for spoiler threads I've been following haven't been working well since yesterday. I have tried restarting the browser, computer, router, logging in on a different device and the same thing happens. Usually I just leave a tab in my browser open for forums and whenever there's a new post or a reply in one of the threads I am following, I get alerts just fine. It just keeps piling up until I check them but now, I barely receive anything. I can't figure out what seems to be the problem. :blobsad:

    (This is my first time posting here, I do hope I'm not violating any rules because idk where else to ask.)

    Perhaps you can ask the moderator @Tony to help with your question?

    Check your settings under Alert Preferences and make sure the first box is checked (Receive an alert when someone... Replies to a watched thread).

    Perhaps the threads aren’t that active anymore?

    If you have visited the thread while the thread has more pages than where you stopped, the alerts won't send you notifications. When you check your notifications, you have to read until the last post/page before you leave so you will get notifications for new posts.

    It's a Xenforo thing.

    You're right... It slipped my mind tha I could ask the mods lol

    I have it checked so I know that's not the problem

    It's active. I can see other users replying like 4 mins. ago or an hour ago

    This is probably it. Thank you so much, I will try this out and hopefully that solves my problem!

    I'll keep it in mind, thank you.
