F95 Alerts Issue

[Donho78]

A few weeks ago I stopped receiving alerts when games I "watch" receive a new rating. I checked the Alert Preferences and every box is checked.
Anyone else have this issue? Any ideas how to fix?

I think the mods are getting tired of law-abiding edgelords (like myself) that constantly report reviews that go against the rules. And well, since 70% (I just made this number up) of reviews are either yapping, or out of context stuff, they end up getting reported by the devs who care about those 5 little stars on top of their game. If this is an actual feature, you can't blame them: mods are real people too.

Anyone else have this issue?

Everyone had it, to some extend. An update of the forum software messed with alerts. Normally it's fixed, but if a thread have had new messages during the "blackout period", and you haven't visited it since, then the notification optimization will prevent a new notification to appear for this thread.

Any ideas how to fix?

Go to the last page of each thread you watch. This will reset the flags, and next time a post will be added to this thread, you should be notified about it.

If really it doesn't works, there's an ultimate fix, but one a bit annoying. You need to unwatch then watch again each thread.
