OP
I’m watching this thread see below, and in preferences all alerts are check. Seems to be intermittent. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don’t.
Could it be related to a time delay? I often see a new post in Watched threads and get an Alert several minutes later.
OP
I have identical problem.

Me to. That thread about pony bottles for new divers that's got out of hand, I am watching it, got a bunch of alerts when it first started then nothing, not that I am interested in it anymore, still shows a bell. But zero alerts
I have had this problem from the first year I was on ScubaBoard. You usually get a notification about threads in which you are participating, but often you don't. I can't put a number on often, but it is by no means rare. I would say it has happened 5-6 times a week over the last 17 years.
