Correct. Those were features added by the addon that was causing the problems with the article alerts not going away, so we removed that addon... which also removed the functionality that you are mentioning.
This doesn't seem related to the alerts issue, right? If not, please start a new thread with as much detail as possible for us (and others) to review and try to duplicate.
