Alerts are basically notifications based on interactions with forum content that you've posted or opted to watch. Your Alerts feed can be found in the upper right navigation of the site. https://www.beeradvocate.com/community/account/alerts General You can adjust your Alert Preferences at anytime, but keeping reading to adjust alerts for conversations, watched forums, and watched threads. You won't get an alert for everything, otherwise you could end up with hundreds of alerts in a single day. Alerts expire, so you'll miss them if you don't log in often. All alert types are all pushed to the same alert feed. Alerts only work if you check them frequently AND the read the related content. Conversations You'll get an email alert when you receive a new DM so you don't miss private conversations. This is the default for all users, but you can change it here: https://www.beeradvocate.com/community/account/contact-details Uncheck "Receive email when a new conversation message is received" or leave it checked so you don't miss a DM. Watched Forums When selecting to watch a forum, you can also select to receive an alert and/or send an email notification. To adjust forums that you're already watching, head to: https://www.beeradvocate.com/community/watched/forums Check the forums you want to adjust and use the select menu at the bottom of the list to adjust. To avoid flooding the system and your alert/email inboxes, this applies to new threads only. Watched Threads When selecting to watch a thread, you can also select to receive an alert and/or send an email notification. Additionally, you'll automatically watch (no email) threads that you create or reply to. This is the default for all users, but you can change it here: https://www.beeradvocate.com/community/account/preferences Look for "Automatically watch threads that you create or when you reply..." as well as "and receive email notifications of replies" right below it. To adjust threads that you're already watching, head to: https://www.beeradvocate.com/community/watched/threads Same logic as adjusting your watched forums. If no threads are shown and you're still getting alerts, click the "Show all watched threads" link as only ones that have unread replies will show first. Important Notes If enabled, you'll only get one email for a thread or DM until you visit the site again. If you haven’t visited the site in 30 days, emails will be automagically paused. Tagging Users Only the first 5 users that you tag (@) in a post will received an alert. Moderated Posts & Threads If a moderator (mod) moves, merges, or deletes your post or thread they may opt to send you a quick note with the reason via an alert. Some of the above restrictions may apply. If you enable emails, please make sure to whitelist emails from beeradvocate.com so they don't end up in your Promotions or Spam folders. And please note that these are transactional emails vs. site update emails that you can un/subscribe to.
