I do and it "bothers" my wifey. Of course, I don't say anything about the 50 emails I get about the latest clothing deal. I'm not too computer savvy so all I can say is "Good Luck". Maybe check your login/ profile data. I agree. It got screwed up when we changed to this alternate universe.

In search of one small hole...
Under the prior forum software, I was following around 30-35 discussions and promply getting email notifications of all new posts in those threads. I was also following the three "For Sale" areas for any and all new topics starting with email notifications.
All those selections along with some other choices set up in my personal profile and a lot of my PM's disappeared when they felt the need to go to another forum software. It has been a pain in the arse trying to set it all up again and the PM's that disappeared are probably gone forever.
Anyway, your notifications probably didn't migrate across and you will have to set them all up again if you can remember or find all the threads you had tagged.
Regards...
seems on this software an alert is a littler red number up the top right corner of your screen, over & to the right of where Alerts is printed.
I think this might fix it for you.
