While you are typing a draft in a thread, you should get a 'New Posts' notification and an option to view them. However, I am not sure if you should get a notification if you are just viewing and not drafting.

Do you want to try and test this on this thread? It may take some synchronising of who types when etc but we could then see what happens for each?

Kiki, Im sure you didnt mean to imply I didnt understand your statement. I do understand English quite well.
Clean my browsing history and cookies, Yes, I do that often.
I also have high speed internet.
No I dont have this problem on other sites .
We absolutely did not have to go through all this on the last site. In simple English That means the technology IS out there to fix this problem that not only I but many are having.
Please forgive me for not responding earlier. I didnt get an alert you had posted .

Come on you know I wasn't saying you didn't understand English silly.
I meant all the computer terms.

It is lunch time here in Aus and I have to step away from the computer to feed the girls some meal worms and organise lunch for myself. But we [or someone else] could try and tee up a time to test what is happening?

AFK for an hour.

Hi Teila, I do not get that on the bottom left and I normally stick to one thread. So I just keep refreshing the same thing over and over . I have a new to me computer. Its windows 10 I believe. and also chrome

For me, if I don't get those notices at the bottom of the screen (sometimes I do and sometimes I don't), I can hover over the alert button and the alerts are there. Even without a number.

Just a bit more on this [which may not be relevant, just collecting information]. I was typing a draft in a non-watched thread today and was prompted as per below:

This happens to me, too. It's like if I have been on one page for a while, and I want to see if I have any alerts, I have to click another page to have them pop up. Just how it works for me
