How do we access those settings? I can't find that screen.

no no...those settings are for the site..as a whole..
We as members can not access those.

Does that mean if someone doesn't log on for a week, they won't have any alerts? That's not good, people want to see who responded to their posts.

Good question!!!
I do not know the answer...maybe when @Nifty-Chicken wakes up he can answer. ( I alway feel bad tagging him but I don't know who else to tag ) Maybe we (I) need a list of "who to ask what to"

Kiki you can ask for all of us, so Nifty blames you instead. Just kidding.

 

[Kiki]

I'm actually not scared....LOL
I just feel bad asking him.

Am I suppose to be asking you Diva???

Why can't I "like" my own posts???

If you look closely at the screenshot Nifty posted, it says "days to retain viewed alerts." I would assume that un-viewed alerts would all just keep accruing until the member clicked on it and viewed them, and then they would be subject to the 5 day retention period.

Not sure why you'd want to....remember that "likes" count as part of the "trophies" awarded as time goes on, just as "ovations" used to do on the old platform. So if we wanted our counts to go up, we could just "like" or "ovate" ourselves right up to where we wanted to be. It's also part of the reason why, on the old forum, it was NOT a good idea to ask for or solicit "ovations". Your posts need to be appreciated for their content, no other reason. At least I think that's right. I dunno nuffin' no more!!

I jsut got caught up in "that moment" and I laughed out loud at my own post and thought I should "like" it.
I'm not much of a ...how should I say this...
a points person..I don't care to rack my own points or what ever up so I never even thought of it this way.
Thanks B!
