    I don't come here often anymore, but when I do, I have 1000 alerts for someone "started a thread" so I cannot find any alerts related to posts, comments or threads I have made. There is no options in the alert settings for this.

    Are you looking for posts you made?

    Or are you receiving emails about threads you replied to?

    Or...are you seeing the red notifications under "watched" threads?

    I am getting thousands of "started a thread" alerts at https://www.tacomaworld.com/account/alerts. Items I care about like "replied to your comment" are buried in the 15-20 alerts per day I don't care about

    Or, you can click on Unwatch Thread so you don't get notifications.

    If you are watching that section of the forum, then unwatch it.

    Maybe that's why you're getting all the notifications?

    Either that...or you can log on more often so they don't add up...kinda like what emails do? lol

    Yes, I was "watching" the whole forum. Not sure how/why that got clicked, but it makes alerts unusable. Now I'm down to a few a week.
