Not receiving alerts or email notifications for watched threads

[zenalis]

Hi there's something that's been troubling me these past couple days. I have not been getting notifications for watched threads - either in my Alerts or in my emails.

The last date for my notifications on both email received and alert received was 27 October, so it's been more than a week without a notification, and I've watched 94 stories.

I make this post now only because I just saw definitive proof that I wasn't receiving notifications over no stories being updated, a story which I was watching has actually had 3 new chapters since 27 Oct: 29 Oct, last Thursday, and last Sunday.

I have not changed any settings at all and when I click on my watched threads I still see them, and I see a ton have updated since.

Is there a way to fix this? If so, any help would be appreciated.

Check your preferences to make sure alerts didn't somehow get turned off by accident.

Hi, thank you for responding!

Honestly I have no idea what I'm looking at...

These are my settings:

The "Generate new alerts without reading threads" and Alerting preferences's "Use custom" settings look suspicious to me, but I'm not familiar enough with the forum settings to know if those are the options I need to change. Also I don't really want to mess anything up (more than it already is I guess).

Welp, there's your problem.

"The thread starter replies to a watched thread" and "Replies to a watched thread" options are turned off. Can't tell you how they got turned off but turn them back on and hit the save button and you should be good.
