When I created my forum game Yum or Eww, I got alerts from it. It was only recently I found it was locked. I didn't get an alert from it saying it was locked. I found a new yum or eww thread, with the poster saying it was locked. I went to check, and it was gravedug. Why did I not get an alert?

I obviously don't want this to happen again, so how do I prevent it? It was 16 pages when locked, so maybe to reduce spam?

 

Gravedug threads are when a person posts a comment on the thread after a one month span in between the last comment. This is also called "necro-posting".

 

I know that. But I failed to get alerts of the last 6 pages.

 

I know the issue.

When you get an alert, and ignore it (without clicking on it or ever looking at the thread after it) you will not get any following alerts.

Do I know why it does this? No, but probably to reduce spam.

 

You probally need to look at the top left corner and lick "Watch thread" or "Unwatch thread" @TADS4

 

When you reply to a thread, you automatically watch it, so it's not the problem.

 

Was it locked by someone then?

 

Or probally is it old? I don't know, I'm just trying to give you ideas so you can get into the core and fix this

 

you only get notifications from threads you are watching and I think it stops watching threads if you personally dont post on them in a while

 

No it will remember you forever if you post on it once,

 

Im not getting alerts in my email anymore either, and I still have the box checked to send me emails when someone replies to my threads or something that I watch.

 

check your alert preferences and see if that works when you enable if they are off but click Save Changes at the bottom of The page after u finish.

 

All mine are fully checked ;)

Then I'm not really sure. :(

 

It's done to reduce the spam of alerts.

Has this been resolved?

 

Resolved.

 

Closing as resolved.
