Sometimes I get notifications (the Bell icon at top of page) and sometimes I don't.

Why?

 

Hello,

Does it depend on the settings in the preferences in your profile?
Are you watching threads?

When am I supposed to get notifications?

in "Receive a notification when someone…" I have (and have had) all boxes checked.

Are you watching threads?

I am watching two threads and no forums.

 

When am I supposed to get notifications?

Now I have quoted your question.
Did you get a notification?

There is a list in the preferences on wich acts there should be an notification.
Have a look at the printed preferences page in the PDF.

No. I did not.

 

Watching this closely… I also experience notifications as a crap shoot. Cannot predict when I get notified and when I don’t.

When you replied to my question, I did'nt get notified (no bell indication).

Then did you get the previous alerts?

Its random.

But I got an alert from your reply.

Why?

Besides the different reasons, worth to keep in mind that once you got a bell for a certain thread, you won't get another one if you do not visit the thread. If you do, a fresh bell could show up.

/EDIT to add
If you go to Find a thread, you could find those still unread, thus not showing fresh bells even if there was reason for that to happen.

Its random.

But I got an alert from your reply.

You could note that how many alerts that you can get after you posted, and comparing with the replies from other members in the thread.

Don't remember ever seeing Bell!!

 

Don't remember ever seeing Bell!!

On Firefox, its located above the ugly orange page banner and shows the number of active alerts.

 

Why would I do that?

It just lets you know that how many alerts you lost.
