Sometimes a new red bubble shows up, but when I display latest alerts, there are none. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Went digging in the database, and it looks like it was because of a thread someone started that you are following, but you don't have access to see the thread (in this case it was a thread started by a moderator in the moderator forum). The system was checking if you have permissions to view the item after it inserted an alert for you. It's been changed so alerts only get inserted if you have permissions to view the thread. Let me know if it happens again.
You might get them once in awhile... For example if you are alerted about a post/thread that's then deleted.
Hmmm... the only alert I show in the database for you is one for this thread: https://forums.digitalpoint.com/thr...file-sharing-drive-or-something-else.2675874/ Does it not show on the Alerts page here? https://forums.digitalpoint.com/account/alerts
Nope, there is only this message: "You do not have any recent alerts." I am supposed to be notified when people I follow create a thread, but I haven't been notified of this one. Weird.
Okay, I think I figured out what was going on... the internal alert handler for threads was pointing to the wrong place. Does it show up now?
