@Blooie,
If you hold your cursor over the Alerts tab, a drop down list of Alerts will show. On the lower right, there is a "Alerts Preferences" choice.
Click on it and un-check the list of things you don't want an alert about.

@Blooie,
If you hold your cursor over the Account tab, a drop down menu will have a Your Profile Page near the top, under your name. Click on that, you will see your followers on the left.
Edited to say this next. choice is on the drop down on the Account tab...NOT on your profile page
There is also a Preferences choice on the left, look there to see if you'd like to change anything.....BE SURE to save the changes at the bottom of the list.

Okay, I found the list of followers. Thanks for doing that. Still don't know how to turn that off, since I really don't want stalkers, but I suppose I can live with that if I have to.

But I can hover my cursor over where it says "account" until the cows come home and until I physically click on it, I get nada. That's where the biggest source of my frustration is coming from. You guys are all posting excellent instructions for how to do stuff, but if what you're saying isn't working on my computer or I just don't get it, I'm dead in the water trying to figure out what you mean.

You are a funny one! Well, I'll make you a deal. If every BYC member sends me $10 a week, I'd be happy to grant your chocolate wish!

Okay everyone, pay up.

Um, er, Kelly... I happen to be a bit short on cash.... Do you accept monopoly money as my $10?

Try clicking on your name, the one in your avatar...I get a black background box (don't know how to do screen shots or I'd show it) and Profile Page is a choice there. Click on it.

For what it is worth, I am using Chrome.

Like this?
(I did a screenshot proper like, even. Ralphie, you've got competition in the techie dept. )

ETA: Blooie, you see where my name is in red in the background? That's where she means to click, I think.

I am also on Chrome. It's not so much that I CAN'T access my profile page, NAF - I found that on Day One. But simple little differences in directions are throwing me off. In this particular thread, for example, people have posted over and over again to "hover over your avatar where it says accounts and a drop down menu will appear". I tried that days ago the first time I read that, thinking, "Well, why have I been bothering to click on it to get the drop down if all I have to do is hover?" and have tried it every time since then. Well, as you can see in the video, it simply doesn't drop down. I have to actually click on it to get the drop down box, which differs from everyone's written instructions.

Now that might not be a big deal...after all, I CAN access it so what's the crisis? But what is hard, at least for me, is when the steps don't match the actual process. This really isn't an earth shaking issue by itself. Who cares if I have to hover or click? I don't. But if I DO want to do something, I find instructions, and then they don't match what I see on my screen, I just want to throw something! Another example is that "eye". Yep, I finally saw it, when I clicked on the link. Not before, not at the top of the page in the thread title, not on my list of watched threads....so what good does it do me to follow those directions to even see it?

I'm not explaining this at all well. Think I'll just call it a night and hit the sack, then try again in the morning when I'm fresh. Thanks everyone for your patience. This change is going to be harder on some of us that it is on others, and I think I'm going to be one of those.
