How do I contact a moderator ...

You did not add this setting inadvertently?  

Or have you switched to GSuite / GMail?

If a moderator is seeing this I'll see likes on a new post and no notification it was tagged as a like. I've received PMs without being notified. I didn't change any setting before this occurred. Since I noticed I can't find any settings that would indicate notifications are on or off.

Aren't you assuming someone "likes" you.

I was going to say that, but didn't want to be seen as the antagonist.

It was teed up, had to swing. 

I don't mean email notification. When there are likes or PM's there used to be a numbered red tag in alerts. In the past few days I've received PM's and noticed likes on new posts without any notification in alerts. 

You two don't have to tell me you don't like me. You've made it very obvious in the past in several posts. Personally I don't care. But you don't need to pile  on like hyaenas cluttering up a thread where I'm trying to get some technical support help.

Perhaps you could get some spelling, punctuation and sentence structure help while your at it?

Is 3 a crowd?

Lighten up, slick. I never said I didn't like you...you just inferred it. I "like" most people, even ones I disagree with.

Perhaps you should shove it. I'm trying to get some technical support. You're just cluttering up the thread.

I don't want to clutter up — but to RJM's point — for about the last two weeks, my notices in the upper right hand corner is giving me notices for ALL replies on a topic I've address. I used to just get emails for those replies and the number in red would just be notices of likes or PMs, which I prefer. Did something change or is there a place we can change back?

I'm not seeing this issue. You could try signing out on all devices and signing in again.

RJM hit take action, report and tell them what's going on or pm Swampboy.

I have had an issue too, someone else had the same. When I sent a pm, I got my pm.  It seemed to have gone away.

While we are on it, the other day I got a message, this is not a secure site. Now I am wondering what's going on.

Don't think that the comments were necessary, will some of you guys grow up!

I will report. Seems that my page is giving me alerts I had turned off.

He started it, Mom!

It's not a secure site. Note that the address begins with http:// and not https://

.... but you're not entering credit card numbers etc. so not really necessary for it to be secure.

I know but I have never seen that message, ever.

I seemed to have intermittant alert notifications last week. But it seems to have corrected itself. I may have logged off, logged back in, can't recall.

Same here. I thought it was just me.

Ditto. 

Maybe it's the Russians?

Why not go spend some time playing a few days of golf and we will get back to you on our findings?

Maybe the email explaining the alert set-up process....was kept on a private server and subsequently was deleted?

Maybe the IT guy that handles all this stuff, was recently arrested (and subsequently fired....finally) for trying to leave the country with a buttload of taxpayer's cash?

Call your rep DWS?

Our IT person is MN-MOM who is the site owner.  She has been notified so hopefully she can look into this. 

Moderators (like Swampboy and I) do not have access to site software or any other function like that.  Our role is mainly an editorial function and only if necessary.  Also, we try and maintain the peace between members and keep rift-raft (like advertisers and spammers) off the site.

RJM, 

Concur with Dan. I checked everything my permissions allow me to do. All your settings appear to be as they should. I'll see if MN-Mom can address.

Hi folks, I will see if I can figure out what happened. 

Meanwhile, can someone who is noticing this problem sign out of your account, clear your browser cache, and sign back in? Then report back.

Thanks,

Julie

Done I will report back.

Don't go to the gym, whatever you do.

I am no longer getting alerts for ebery post on threads anymore. Could someone please like this post. That way I can see if it shows up in the alerts like it used to.

Looks like a problem that has come up before on this site's platform.

Seeing same thing as Iowa mom. Alerts from every response from a thread I contributed.

I signed completely out, cleared my web cache. Now we'll see what happens if someone likes this or puts up another post. I hate technology. Except when it's working.

I changed my alerts back to my original settings yesterday. I never changed them to be alerted by  every post here only by email.

I am not getting my own text messages like I was earlier in week.

Relax, it ain't the end of the world. 

I have been fiddling around with this issue and haven't found an obvious answer. For any members who are not receiving the notifications you expect, please try the following:

Mouse over your user name in the top right corner of the screen.
In the drop-down menu, click on Notifications.
Check the various types of Notifications available, and experiment with those settings.
Report back on whether you are able to get the results you intended.

Thanks,
Julie

I'm having the same issue as Iowa Mom...I unclicked "on site alert", perhaps that will help?
