Fandom Tears: Rebirth

I double checked my other two lines to make sure the same thing didn't happen.


@theManCalledSting or @Some_Bloke, I'm waiting for you on Lost Light.

Why haven't they fixed that?!
They did. There was an announcement for the option for alerts to appear for each post instead of only showing them if the entire thread was read, a while ago.

*internally boils as notification for that never showed up*


That explains that one guy talking about it in that other thread. I heard that option sucked though.

I personally never use it myself, as the notifications work completely fine as long as you keep up with the thread. And the update was a while ago, maybe you forgot about it?

The only reason why I use persistent alerts is if you ignore one notification, the website stops giving you alerts for that thread. Since a lot of things that goes on in this thread doesn't involve me, persistent alerts keeps me updated and not have to click on every notification.

Same... but It never hurts me to check up on the thread.

I use the standard alerts, mainly because I don't want to go to bed and wake up the next morning to find 50,000 alerts waiting for me to sift through. The way I handle them is, I open every one of them in new tabs, and go through them sequentially. Plus, I can see what's going on in each thread, in case there's something important going on in them. If I don't want to follow a thread anymore, I just ignore the alert that comes from it. Simple.


Yeah, it's not the best system, but I haven't had any problems with it. Plus if you accidentally miss an alert, there's always the 'Unread Watched Threads' page.

I am aware of the 'Unread Watched Threads' page. I do check that frequently. Funny enough, threads still show up on that page if I ignore it for a while.

I'd be surprised if they didn't. It's called Unread Watched Threads for a reason, y'know. If you don't want to follow a page then just unwatch it.

I meant when persistent alerts are on.

...The unread threads page doesn't interact with alerts at all. I don't get what you're talking about here.
I thought with persistent alerts on its supposed to keep updating me no matter what. What I've noticed is that when something shows up on the unread threads page, you stop getting alerts for the thread. That goes against what persistent alerts is supposed to do. I guess that's only funny to me.

That's how the standard alerts system works. Yes, persistent alerts are supposed to update you for every single post made in a thread, regardless of whether or not you've actually read the whole thing or not. I still don't see what's supposed to be funny here.

Just forget about it. I can't explain it correctly.
