Why do we stop getting notifications?

Click the bell go to preferences and take screenshots of every preference please.

Okay, never mind. I fixed it! Thanks anyway!
Oh and off topic- how's Trebble, @Kiki?

This has happened to me 5 or 6 times now. I think it's like if you don't reply to a thread after a certain amount of time but give reactions to the posts, it stops giving you notifications, but if you go back to the thread it says your still watching it. This has happened to me, @PippinTheChicken, @AngBantamLuv, @ForTheLoveOfSilkies,
and I think it happens to @LadiesAndJane. People have also tagged me in threads and I don't get the alert. Why? @Nifty-Chicken @casportpony

Me too, multiple times.

I will go do a test. I will find a very old thread and reply to it with my @PeaDawg account and will report back.

Did you view the alert/click on it to get to the thread? You must view the alert in order to receive more.

I think that's what some people are missing -- using the alert link instead of just looking at the the thread through the forum link.

I just got a notification from a thread I haven't visited in a long while, so something is working.

From a 2016 thread:

You can view the thread to clear the alert but you have to make sure you're viewing the correct page of the thread in order to clear the alert.
If the alert was for a post on page 4 and you start viewing on page 9 then that's not going to work.
