What determines when I get alerts?

[Zacster]

I get alerts for some of the threads that I post to but not others, and it seems to be the age of the thread, but not always. When I checked out some of the threads I don't get alerts for it has the button set to "unwatch" which I would believe means I'm watching and should get alerts. Also, where is the setting to watch threads that I've replied to in the first place? I didn't see that in the options, but there are a lot of options. On other forums I usually have to set it to automatically subscribe.

Not a major issue, but curious.

The way it's supposed to work is that once you get an alert for a watched thread, you don't get another alert for that thread until you visit it again and there's a new post.

There is a mess of settings for alerts here:

That's what I thought but there were a few that fell off. And there really are a lot of settings. I'll play around with them.

In any case no big deal.

so, if I get an e-mail alert on a thread and read it in my e-mail but don't visit the forums, then I never get another alert again?
